iPhone & Mac · for photographers

Every photo,
on the map.

Your iPhone records the track. Your Mac does the rest.

How it works

You keep shooting. It keeps track.

Step 01

Start recording your location, then forget about it.

Open LightGPX before your shoot and start recording. Slide the phone in your pocket and shoot for as long as you want. The phone records your location in the background.

Step 02

Stop when the shooting is done.

Whenever you're finished shooting, hit stop. The trip is saved and synced to your account. You can record your location for days.

Step 03

Open your Mac. One click.

Pull the photos off your camera the way you always do. Open LightGPX on the Mac, create a project, point it at the folder. Every photo gets geotagged automatically.

FAQ

Honest answers.

What if I forget to start the trip?

To geotag your photos, the iOS app needs to be logging GPS while you shoot. The Mac app uses that log to geotag them later.

What if I lose signal in the field?

Doesn't matter. Your iPhone records GPS locally the whole time and sends it to your Mac the next time it sees Wi-Fi or cell.

Does my phone have to stay on all day?

Yes. It sits in your pocket. The screen can stay off, and it works in airplane mode.

What camera does it work with?

Any digital camera. Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Leica. Your camera does not need GPS.

How does it know which photo was taken where?

You take one photo of your iPhone's clock screen at the start of the shoot. The Mac app uses it to line your camera's clock up with the GPS trip.

How do my photos get geotagged?

GPS coordinates are added to each photo. Your favorite photo editor reads the location automatically.

Will it touch my RAW files?

Yes. RAW files are geotagged in place.

Where does my data live?

On your iPhone, on your Mac, and in your own private encrypted account. No third-party analytics. No ads. No resale. Delete the account from inside the app and every point is gone.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is not final. The waitlist is free. We're aiming for a one-time purchase with an optional cloud tier.

When can I get it?
