Turn every photo and video into verifiable proof of when and where it happened. Timestamp Camera captures photos and videos with the date, time, and GPS location burned directly into the image — permanently, not as removable metadata. Perfect for job sites, inspections, deliveries, field reports, real estate walkthroughs, insurance documentation, or simply keeping a beautifully detailed travel journal. BUILT FOR PROFESSIONALS Make every photo carry your business identity. Add your own logo, business name, contact email, and website as a second branded watermark alongside the timestamp and location. Ideal for contractors, inspectors, real estate agents, insurance professionals, farmers, delivery teams, and anyone who needs photos that clearly document what happened, when, and where. WHAT GETS STAMPED * Date & time — Choose from 10 date formats and 12-hour or 24-hour time, with time zone included * GPS coordinates — DMS, decimal degrees, or UTM, with signed or unsigned coordinates and adjustable precision * Live map — Add a standard or satellite map thumbnail showing exactly where the photo or video was captured * Street address — Display the house number, street, city, postal code, and country, with control over which parts appear * Compass bearing — Show direction using true north or magnetic north * Altitude — Display elevation in meters or feet, with optional GPS accuracy * Custom note — Add job names, case numbers, project details, or any other context you need Every field is optional. Mix and match exactly what you want visible, and adjust the stamp’s background opacity to fit your photo. A FULL CAMERA, NOT JUST A FILTER Capture photos and videos with a live timestamp and location preview before you shoot. * Photo and video capture in one app * Live stamp preview that you can drag to reposition * 4K, HD, medium, and low video quality * 30 or 60 fps video recording * Front and back camera support * Quick-tap zoom levels tailored to your device’s lenses * Flash and torch controls * Rule-of-thirds grid overlay * Mute option for silent video capture ORGANIZE YOUR SHOTS Keep your evidence and memories organized. Sort captures into custom folders, browse them in a dedicated gallery, and move, share, or delete photos and videos directly from the app. YOUR LOCATION STAYS YOURS Your GPS location is used only to create the timestamp and location stamp on your own photos and videos. It is never attached to an account or sent anywhere else. Download Timestamp Camera and give every photo and video the proof it deserves.

=== DESCRIPTION (4000 max) === Record video with the date and time burned right into the picture, live and ticking every second, so there's never any question about when it was filmed. Built for documenting things that need a time record: idling trucks and buses, parking and traffic problems, deliveries, property conditions, and anything else you may need to prove later. LIVE DATE AND TIME STAMP • Drawn onto the video as you record, ticking every second • White text on a dark rounded pill, easy to read in any light • Choose the position (any corner, top or bottom center) and size (small, medium, large) • Five date formats and a 12- or 24-hour clock • What you see in the viewfinder is exactly what's recorded NEVER LOSES SOUND • Won't record without microphone access • Live sound meter. The record button stays off until sound is coming in • Clear warning if sound stops during a recording • Uses the iPhone's own microphone even when AirPods are connected, because headset mics filter out background sounds like engines • Every saved video is checked to make sure the sound covers the whole recording RECORDINGS PROTECTED • Saved continuously while recording, and recovered automatically if the app or phone stops unexpectedly • Ringing phone calls don't stop the recording (with incoming calls set to Banner) • Checks storage, battery and temperature before you start, and stops and saves safely before a problem can cut a recording off • Screen stays awake while recording • Optional minimum length (3 minutes or 1 minute) with a timer that turns green when your video is long enough EASY TO USE • Saves straight to Photos • Zoom buttons and pinch to zoom, for reading license plates and signs from a distance • Tap to focus • 1080p or 4K, HEVC or H.264 COMPRESS FOR UPLOAD Many complaint and upload forms limit file size. Compress for upload makes a smaller copy that fits your limit (130 MB by default, adjustable), keeps the date and time stamp and the sound, and saves it to Photos next to the original. FREE TRIAL, THEN A ONE-TIME UNLOCK Every feature is free for 3 days. After the trial, recording, the live date and time stamp, and saving to Photos stay free forever. Only Compress for upload needs the one-time unlock. No subscription, no ads, no account. PRIVATE Everything happens on your iPhone. The app collects no data and has no tracking or ads. Live TimeStamp Camera is an independent app and is not affiliated with any government agency.
