Image Inspector vs Interval Pro

Every photo carries a second layer: where it was taken, which iPhone took it, when it was really edited, and sometimes a thumbnail of what it looked like before you touched it. Image Inspector reads that layer and puts it in plain language. Open a photo. A few seconds later you have a full report. WHAT IT FINDS • Hidden location. Coordinates, altitude, compass heading and speed, decoded from the file and flagged before you post. • The Story. Your photo retold as a narrative: the device, how you were holding it, the angle of the sun, whether it was golden hour. Worked out offline from the metadata alone. • Tamper Check. The file cross-examined against itself. Capture, digitized and modify clocks that disagree. A camera clock that drifts from GPS satellite time. Recorded dimensions that do not match the real pixels. The embedded preview that still shows the pre-edit image. • Provenance. Reads C2PA Content Credentials, IPTC markers, and the fingerprints that generators such as Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion and Firefly leave behind. Declarations only: an unmarked file is reported as unproven, never as real. • Apple maker notes. The private fields other viewers show as an opaque blob: Live Photo identifiers, burst UUIDs, device uptime, grip and tilt, HDR type, colour temperature. Every field listed, none invented. • Readable text, faces, people and pets, QR codes and links, semantic labels and an attention map. • Privacy Audit. Emails, phone numbers, links, card numbers, IBANs, identity documents, embedded author names and camera serial numbers, gathered into one verdict. WHO IT IS FOR Anyone about to post a photo. Marketplace sellers. Photographers who want their own data back. Developers checking a dataset. Anyone curious what a machine sees. HOW IT WORKS Metadata, the story, tamper checks, provenance, faces, text, codes and labels all run on your device using Apple's Vision framework. The Content Safety check is the exception: that image is sent to our server, classified, and deleted. No account. No photo library permission, the picker is enough. Nothing is saved: close a report and it is gone. Share the X-Ray card, or export the whole report as JSON or plain text. It works from the share sheet too.

The iPhone's timelapse mode controls nothing. DSLR workflows control everything, but weigh a ton. Interval puts full control in a simple app. LOCKABLE MANUAL CONTROLS ISO, shutter speed, white balance and focus: leave each setting on auto, dial it in by hand, or lock it on the current reading. That lock is what removes flicker, the flaw that gives away amateur timelapses. THE INTERVAL CALCULATOR Give it the length of your event, the video length you want and the frame rate: Interval computes the interval and tells you the photo count, the storage and the battery you need before you even start. No more session ruined by poor planning. STABILIZED HYPERLAPSE Set a target point on your subject, walk, realign the ghost frame of the previous photo, shoot. At export, the analysis aligns every photo and smooths the path. Fluid results, no rig, no tripod. BUILT FOR LONG SESSIONS The screen genuinely lowers its brightness while capturing to save battery. The app pauses by itself if the iPhone gets too hot, then resumes. An incoming call no longer ruins anything: the session picks up exactly where it stopped, locked settings included. PRECISE FRAMING Native 4:3, 16:9, 3:2 or square, with a guide showing exactly what the video will contain. Rule of thirds mapped to your chosen frame, and a horizon line to set the phone up straight. YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS Every session keeps its full-quality HEIC photos. Re-export in 1080p or 4K, at 24, 25, 30 or 60 frames per second, as many times as you like. Nothing is thrown away. NO DATA COLLECTED No account, no server, no trackers. Your photos and videos never leave your iPhone. That is not a marketing promise: the app has nowhere to send anything. ONE PRICE, EVERYTHING, FOREVER The app is free with all manual controls, 1080p export and three full-quality exports to try everything. A one-time purchase unlocks 4K, removes the watermark and lifts the export limit. For good. Never a subscription. Built by a photographer who actually uses it in the field.
