Where I Look?

Features
Read full description

Ever scroll through your photos and wonder exactly where you were standing — and which way you were facing — when you took a shot? Where I Look? reads the GPS location and compass heading hidden in your photos' metadata and draws them on a map: a cone showing not just where you stood, but the exact direction and field of view your camera captured. FEATURES: • Gallery — browse your photo library in a clean, paginated grid. • Map View — tap any photo to see its location and field-of-view cone on an Apple Map. Drag a slider to adjust how far the cone extends. • Live Mode — point your phone right now and see the same cone in real time, driven by your device's live GPS and compass instead of a photo. • Full-Resolution View — pinch to zoom into the original photo, no detail lost. If a photo is missing GPS, compass, or lens data, the app tells you why the cone can't be drawn instead of just failing silently. PRIVATE BY DESIGN: Everything happens on your device. Your photos, location, and compass data are never uploaded anywhere — there's no server, no account, no tracking. Where I Look? simply reads the metadata already on your phone and shows it to you. Whether you're retracing a trip, figuring out which mountain is in the background of an old photo, or just curious how your camera saw the world — Where I Look? turns your photo library into a map of where you looked.
