About

Zahyo

Features

Zahyo sends your iPhone's GPS location to your Sony camera over Bluetooth, so every photo you take is geotagged with accurate coordinates — no cables, no memory-card swapping, no editing afterward. Zahyo currently works with Sony cameras only. Cameras from other brands are not supported. Start a session, drop your phone in your pocket, and shoot. Zahyo keeps feeding your location in the background while your phone is locked. When your camera is off it quietly waits; power the camera back on and it reconnects on its own. DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR One screen, one button. A calm coordinate readout in a monospaced typeface, and nothing you don't need. Zahyo does one job and stays out of the way. HOW IT WORKS • Pair your camera once — Bluetooth location linking must be enabled in the camera's menu. • Tap Start. Zahyo streams your location to the camera about once a second. • Your photos are tagged by the camera itself; the coordinates are written into each image's metadata. REQUIREMENTS • A Sony camera that supports Bluetooth location-information linking. Other brands are not supported. • "Always" location permission, so geotagging keeps working while the app is in the background. Zahyo does not collect your data. Your location is sent only to your own camera over a direct Bluetooth link — never to us, never to a server.
