Nowstamp: Date Stamp Camera

A camera that stamps the date and time on your photos the moment you take them. No ads, no subscription, no account — and no app logo, just your stamp. Free to use. No tracking, no data collection. Photos only, no video. GREAT FOR • Move-in and move-out photos of a rental • Progress photos: weight, meals, workouts • Study logs, daily journals, and baby milestones • Job site progress and inspections WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT’S SAVED • The stamp lands where you put it, at the size you see. • Portrait or landscape, the photo and the stamp come out upright. • The capture time in the photo’s EXIF data matches the stamp. • You can’t enter a time in this app; the camera uses your iPhone’s clock. MAKE THE STAMP YOURS • 12 styles, 7 fonts, colors, outline, shadow, and opacity • Separate date and time formats, with seconds if you want them • A one-line note or hashtag • Day Counter: count down to a date (D-12) or up from one (Day 37) • 9 preset positions, or drag it anywhere and resize • Save your setups as My Stamps and switch in one tap PLACE NAME AND GPS COORDINATES (OFF BY DEFAULT) • Add a place name you type, GPS coordinates your iPhone measures just before the shot, or both. The app doesn’t check the name. • Coordinates need Precise Location turned on and have a margin of error. If there’s no usable measurement when you shoot, the photo is saved without them and the app tells you. • Saving coordinates in photo info (EXIF) and the Photos app is a separate in-app setting, also off by default (Settings > Location). When it’s on, people you share those photos with can see where they were taken. Even when it’s off, coordinates printed on the stamp are part of the image. • Imported photos can only be stamped with coordinates already in the file, and that location info is kept regardless of the setting. • iOS asks for location access only when you turn on coordinates or the setting above. Without it, everything else works. • No address lookup or maps. A photo’s coordinates go with it when you share it or sync it with iCloud Photos. CAMERA AND ALBUM • Zoom, flash, grid, a 3/5/10-second timer, and 4:3, 1:1, and 16:9 aspect ratios • Shoot with the volume buttons (iOS 17.2 or later) • Start & Finish: take a start photo, then a finish photo stamped with the time between them (e.g., 2 hr 30 min · 14:00 - 16:30) • Save right away or review first, and optionally keep the unstamped original • Import older photos and stamp them with the date and time saved in each photo • Shots are saved to your photo library and shown by day in the app’s album • See where each photo’s stamp time came from • Tag photos (Diet, Workout, Study, Daily, or your own) and filter the album by tag • Calendar view: which days have photos and how many days in a row, by tag too • App Lock with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode (it locks this app, not the Photos app) CHECK WHETHER A PHOTO HAS CHANGED Capture records are off by default; you decide on first launch and can change this in Settings > Capture Record. When they’re on, photos from the in-app camera carry a record signed with a key in your iPhone’s Secure Enclave. Later, the app can check from the original file alone — no server, no account — whether the photo has changed since it was taken. The limits: the date and time come from your iPhone’s clock, and the check can’t tell whether a scene was staged or, for a photo someone sends you, who made the record. Copies from messaging apps or Photos’ default sharing can’t be checked; AirDrop from this app. The person checking needs this app too. It’s a technical check, not a legal one. Each record also includes your iPhone model, the app version, and a public key shared by every photo from that iPhone. GPS coordinates printed on the stamp go into the record too, with their accuracy and when they were measured. The check shows only that they haven’t changed, not that the photo was taken there. The app has no server and sends no data to the developer or any third party.
