Timestamp Camera
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stamp the time, the date and the place onto every photo and video, right as you shoot. Timestamp Camera writes the details into the picture itself. Time, date, street address, a small map, GPS coordinates, compass bearing and altitude — burned into the photo or video the moment you capture it. Nothing to add afterwards, nothing to explain later. The photo says when and where it was taken. THE STAMP Build the stamp you need and watch it live over the camera: * Time — automatic, 24-hour or 12-hour, with or without seconds, in any time zone * Date, in your phone's own format * Street address, short or full * A small map, in standard, satellite or hybrid * GPS coordinates in decimal, degrees-minutes-seconds or signed format * Compass bearing, true north or magnetic * Altitude, in feet or meters * Your own note — a job number, an address, a unit, whatever the photo is for * Your company name, email, website and logo Show only the lines you want, pick a compact corner layout or a bar across the top, and set the text size and the background strength. Dates and units follow your phone's language and region. PIN A LOCATION GPS drifts indoors and between tall buildings. Drag the map under the crosshair, lock the spot, and every capture is stamped with that address instead of the live reading. PHOTO AND VIDEO * Photo and video modes, with .5x, 1x, 2x and 3x lens buttons plus pinch to zoom * Tap to focus, flash and torch, front and rear cameras * Rule-of-thirds grid and a level guide for square shots * HD 30, HD 60 and 4K 30 video * Photos saved as JPG or HEIC; video as H.264, or HEVC at 4K * The stamp is drawn into every single video frame, not just the first one SAVED WITH THE DETAILS INTACT Captures carry the real data, not just the visible stamp. Photos keep the camera's EXIF plus GPS coordinates, heading and your note. Videos carry location and capture date in their metadata. Everything lands in the in-app library and, if you want, in your Photos app too. Turn on "save original photo" and you also get a clean unstamped copy. YOUR OWN LIBRARY Keep work out of your camera roll. Make folders — one per job, client or property — and set which one receives new captures. Rename them, swipe to switch the active folder, select several captures at once to share, move or delete, and open any one full screen to share, save or remove it. WHO USES THIS * Contractors, electricians, plumbers and HVAC techs documenting a job * Property managers and landlords on move-in and move-out walkthroughs * Inspectors, adjusters and surveyors recording site conditions * Field service and delivery drivers proving they arrived and finished * Cleaners, landscapers and roofers showing before and after * Anyone who has had to prove when and where a photo was taken PRIVACY There is no account and no sign-in. Your photos, videos, folders and stamp settings stay on your device. Addresses come from Apple's geocoding, and the app never uploads your captures anywhere. PERMISSIONS * Camera — to take the photo or video * Location — to stamp the address, coordinates, bearing and altitude * Photos (add only) — to save finished captures to your photo library * Notifications (optional) — one reminder before a free trial ends SUBSCRIPTION Timestamp Camera is free to download, and capturing photos and videos requires a Premium subscription. The yearly plan includes a 3-day free trial. You can see the stamp, set it up and look around the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
