Foto Notes burns the date, time, street address, GPS coordinates, compass, altitude, a small map, the weather and your note right into your photos. There is nothing to edit afterwards and no separate notebook. Construction site, apartment viewing, handover, inspection or survey: the photo shows when and where it was taken, and the details stay on every copy. THE DOCUMENTATION STAMP An info card that updates live in the viewfinder: - Large clock with seconds, date and time zone - Full street address with street, number and city - Exact GPS coordinates, altitude and compass direction (true or magnetic north) - A map thumbnail of your position, standard or satellite (Pro) - The weather at capture: temperature, wind and humidity (Pro) - Your note - Your logo, company name and website (Pro) Hold the stamp to show or hide each element. What you see in the viewfinder is exactly what gets burned in. DESIGN RIGHT IN THE CAMERA Change transparency, colors and placement in the adjust panel next to the shutter, and the viewfinder shows each change instantly. The stamp sits in a corner or above/below the photo, so it never covers a detail. Stamp size: small, medium or large. VIDEO WITH A TIMESTAMP (NEW, PRO) In video mode the stamp is burned live into every frame. The clock keeps running, and the compass and map dot follow your movement. Records in Full HD with optional sound and saves straight to your photo library. SIX TAGS FOR YOUR NOTE Tap a tag and it drops into your note as a badge: - Date: today's date in the format you choose - Time: the current time, to the second - Location: city, country or full street address - Room: an entry from your room list (kitchen, bathroom, office …) - Coordinates: exact GPS position, even offline - Company: your company name and website (Pro) MADE FOR VIEWINGS AND JOB SITES Pick the room before each shot, from the built-in list or, with Pro, from your own. Three viewings later you still know which bathroom belongs to which apartment. On the job site, date, coordinates and map record every step. CHECK-IN: WORK HOURS WITH PROOF Check-in mode clocks you in and out with a proof photo from the selfie camera, with the time burned into it. The app reminds you to check out, times you add or correct later are marked in the report, and iCloud backup keeps your time log through a reinstall. Export the work time report as a PDF with photos, daily totals and signature lines, or as CSV. Your first report is free, after that it is part of Pro. STAMP PHOTOS YOU ALREADY HAVE (PRO) Stamp existing photos from your library or the Files app. Date, time and location come from the original's capture data (EXIF), and the originals stay untouched. TRY EVERYTHING FIRST Your first 3 photos after installing carry the full Pro stamp, including the map and your own branding. Then you decide what to keep. NO ADS The free version takes unlimited photos and shows no ads. In return it carries a small Foto Notes badge inside the stamp. FOTO NOTES PRO Pro replaces that badge with your logo, company name and website on every photo you hand to clients, insurers or contractors. It adds video mode, the map thumbnail and stamp layouts above/below the photo. Get Pro as a subscription or as a one-time lifetime purchase, which launches at an introductory price. ALSO ON BOARD - Quick zoom presets, flash, continuous light and front camera - Flexible date, time and location formats - Save photos to your photo library or your own iCloud Drive PRIVACY The app uses the camera, microphone and location only to take the photo or video and render the stamp. Your photos stay on your device or in your own iCloud Drive and are never sent to us or anyone else. The app needs no account and does not track you.

About

OpenLandscape3D

Features
Read full description

OpenLandscape3D is a landscape planner for the place you are planning: the garden itself. Capture the property on site, record what is already growing, sketch beds and paths, and choose plants suited to your region. Then see how the garden looks through the seasons and as it matures. CAPTURE THE SITE • Walk the property line with GPS, measure on the ground with AR, or type the size of the lot • Boundaries from GPS and AR are marked unverified until you check them • Your planting region, hardiness zone and frost dates come from your approximate location, and you can change them • Open a house plan from OpenPlan3D and plan the garden around it WORK IN THE FIELD, OFFLINE • Notes, photos, issues and measurements, pinned on the plan, with GPS position and compass direction if you want • Record existing trees and shrubs with their size and condition, and mark each one to keep or remove • Field notes from two devices combine without duplicates DESIGN • Lawn, beds, mulch, gravel, patios, paths, decks, driveways and water • Fences with gates, retaining walls, edging, pergolas, sheds, benches, pots and boulders • Place single plants, hedges and rows, or mass plantings • Each plant is drawn at its size for the year you choose, with an outline of its mature spread • Plan and 3D views, side by side on iPad and Mac. Undo and redo SEE IT GROW • Choose a month and the years since planting to see blooms, fall colour, winter branches and mature size • Preview a plant or the whole design at true scale in AR, with mature-size outlines and a scale bar to check against a tape measure CHOOSE PLANTS THAT FIT • Search a regional catalog of more than 200 plants for the U.S. Northeast, Southeast and Southwest by form, sun, moisture, native status, hardiness and bloom month • Plant pages show the facts, how the plant suits your site and where the data comes from • Save a palette for the project • Design checks flag plants outside your hardiness zone, plants listed as invasive, plants placed in paving, sun and moisture mismatches, crowding at maturity, trees too close to the house, plants outside the property, bloom gaps and unverified boundaries SCHEDULES AND SHARING • Bloom calendar, plant schedule with quantities, sizes and spacing, and a task calendar for planting, watering, mulching and pruning timed to your frost dates, exported as CSV • Open the design in OpenPlan3D or OpenLandscape3D on the web with a link • Export an OpenPlan3D-compatible file or a 3D model (USDZ) PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your sites, photos and notes stay on your device until you share them. Shared links leave out your precise location and the location of your notes. Delete all local data at any time in Settings. OpenLandscape3D is open source (MIT) and works with OpenPlan3D. Plant data is an early, unreviewed compilation, so check local advice before planting. GPS and AR measurements are approximate and are not a survey.
