DOCUMENT CAMERA · iOS
The facts, burned into the photo.
Foto Notes stamps your note, the date, time and GPS location into the picture as you take it. Nothing to edit afterwards, nothing that can be removed — the proof is in the image.
What you see is what gets burned in
The live preview shows the finished photo before you take it. When you press the shutter, the text becomes part of the image — permanent, on every copy, in every app.
- Step 1
Write your note once
Type your note once. Date, time and location fill in on their own and stay current — no typing before each shot.
- Step 2
Check the live stamp
The camera shows the finished caption in real time, right on the live image. What you see in the viewfinder is exactly what ends up in the photo.
- Step 3
Capture — it is permanent
The text is embedded in the pixels of the photo. It cannot be cropped away by accident, stripped by a messenger, or edited later.
The stamp does the paperwork
Live values, straight from the camera — updated the moment you press the shutter.
Made for days with hundreds of photos
When every picture has to prove where and when it was taken — and what it shows.
Apartment viewings
Set up your room list once. Pick the room, shoot, move on. Three viewings later you still know which bathroom belongs to which apartment.
Construction sites
Progress photos with date, time and coordinates baked in. What the photo claims, the photo proves — even after it has been forwarded twice.
Inspections & handovers
Damage, meter readings, serial numbers: note it in the photo itself instead of in a separate list that drifts out of sync.
Trips worth remembering
Where exactly was that beach? Your photos answer for themselves — place and moment written right on the picture.
Foto Notes Pro
One purchase, everything unlocked — no subscription. For everyone who documents for a living.
- No ads
- No watermark
- Fully editable room list
- Save photos directly to iCloud Drive
- Write your note into the EXIF metadata too
Frequently asked questions
Short answers from the developer.
›Can the text be removed from the photo afterwards?
No. The text is burned into the pixels of the image at the moment of capture, so it stays on every copy and in every app. That permanence is the point: the photo itself is the proof. If you also want machine-readable data, Foto Notes Pro can write your note into the EXIF metadata in addition.
›What can the stamp show?
Your note plus live values: the date, the time and your GPS location — as city, country code or exact coordinates — and, if you like, an entry from your room list. Written once, kept current on every shot.
›Where do the date, time and location come from?
Straight from your iPhone at the moment you press the shutter. Date, time and GPS location update live in the viewfinder, so the values in the photo are the values at capture — not typed in later.
›Does Foto Notes work offline?
Yes. Date, time and GPS coordinates work without any internet connection. Only the display of the location as a city name may require a network connection for the address lookup; coordinates always work offline.
›What does Foto Notes cost?
The free version is fully functional with unlimited photos. Foto Notes Pro is a single one-time purchase (no subscription): it removes ads and the watermark and unlocks the editable room list, saving to iCloud Drive and EXIF comments.
›Where are my photos stored?
On your device, in your photo library — or, with Pro, directly in your own iCloud Drive. Your photos are never uploaded to our servers or shared with third parties. Camera and location access are used exclusively for taking photos and embedding the location.
›Which languages and devices are supported?
Foto Notes runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS and is fully localized in 13 languages, including English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified).
