Read full description

A camera that numbers every product photo as you shoot. Take the 1st shot - the photo says 001. Take the 2nd - 002. The sequence number is rendered into the photo at the moment of capture. No editing, no renaming, no mix-ups. WHY YOU NEED IT Shoot hundreds of product photos, then can't tell which is which back at your desk? Numbered Camera writes the item number onto the photo and into the file name, so your shots are organized the moment you take them. FEATURES • Numbers burned in at capture - the viewfinder shows exactly what you get • Single / Multi modes: auto-advance per item, or sub-numbers for multiple shots of one item (007-1, 007-2) • Custom rules: start number, prefix, suffix, zero padding (e.g. A-001-red) • 6 number styles: plate, minimal, round badge, square label, film code, chalk • Adjustable number bar: bottom strip 5%-25%, or overlay on the photo • File names match the number on the photo: exports arrive as A-001.jpg • Retake any number without breaking the sequence • Batch review: grouped by number, tap to view full screen • Auto-saved to a "Numbered Camera" album PRIVACY No network, no account, no data collection. Your photos never leave your phone. One-time purchase. Yours forever.
