■ KEY FEATURES

[Quick Capture]
Start shooting instantly from the center tab button. A flashlight and pinch zoom help in dark rooms and inside panels. Launch from the Lock Screen widget, Shortcuts, or the Action button.

[Smart Photo Organization]
Photos auto-sorted into template sections (Before/During/After, OK/Caution/Repair). GPS and timestamps recorded automatically.

[Photo Annotation]
Place arrows, circles, rectangles, number stamps, and text labels with one tap. Pinch to zoom in and annotate fine cracks and screws precisely. Freehand marking with Apple Pencil or finger is also supported.

[Voice Captions]
Tap the mic to convert speech to text. Preset captions like "Overview", "Close-up", and "Needs rework" insert with one tap. Capture notes hands-free on the job site.

[Professional PDF Generation]
A4 portrait, 2x2 grid, up to 4 photos per page. GPS, timestamp, and captions embedded automatically. Review pages with thumbnails, pick a sort order (date taken / manual), and Save to Files. 10 photos generated in under 3 seconds.

[Blackboard-Style Overlay]
Show project name, work type, date, location, and contractor as a construction blackboard panel on photos. Originals are never modified — the board is composited only in the PDF. Toggle per photo.

[Flexible PDF Layouts]
Choose 2x2 grid, one large photo per page, or a ledger-style 3-per-page layout (Pro). Optional timestamp and GPS stamping.

[Before/After Reshoot Guide]
Overlay a previous photo as a translucent ghost to retake the exact same angle.

[CSV Export]
Export the photo list (number, section, caption, time, coordinates) as Excel-compatible CSV.

[Field Mode]
High-contrast display with larger text for readability in direct sunlight.

[Photo Backup]
Export every project with its photos as a ZIP. Keep a full copy on-device, safe against device loss or replacement, while staying fully offline.

[Instant Sharing]
Share via email, LINE, or AirDrop right from the job site. Save to Files app for your records.
