screen by screen

The app has three tabs along the bottom. Settings opens with the gear icon from the Camera or Gallery screen.

Take a quick photo (Rapid Mode)

1. Open the Camera tab.
2. Make sure the mode is set to Rapid.
3. Tap the shutter. The photo saves straight to your library — no prompts. Keep tapping to shoot as fast as you like.

File a photo as you shoot (Context Mode)

1. Switch the mode to Context.
2. Tap the shutter — a context card appears the moment the photo is taken.
3. Assign a stack, add tags and a note, then save. The photo is filed with everything already attached.

2. Tap the shutter to start recording; tap again to stop.
3. Tap the camera icon to switch back to photos.

Camera overlays & tools

Tap the sliders button near the shutter to open the quick-control tray:

A stack is a project — a job, a site, a topic. Every photo lives in exactly one stack (new captures land in General until you move them).

Browse your library

1. Open the Gallery tab.
2. Swipe between All (every photo, grouped by date) and Stacks (your projects).
3. Tap any photo to open it full screen. Badges show which photos have markup or edits.

Create a stack

1. On the Stacks view, tap New Stack.
2. Give it a name. Open its settings any time to add tags, custom fields, a watermark, and metadata options.

Move several photos at once

1. Tap Select, then tap the photos you want (or drag to sweep-select a range).
2. Use the action bar to assign a stack, add tags, compare, export, or delete.

☑️ Cropped region Multi-select action bar Selection mode active with a few photos checked and the bottom action bar (Assign stack / Tags / Compare / Export) visible. Crop to the grid + action bar.

Open a photo full screen to enrich it. Everything you add here is searchable.

Mark up a photo

1. Open the photo and tap Markup (it reads Markup Again if the photo already has edits).
2. Use the tools: draw (pencil), crop, stickers, text, mosaic (blur), and adjust (brightness, contrast, saturation).
3. Save. The annotated version is kept alongside the original.

✏️ Cropped region Markup editor toolbar The editor open on a photo with the tool row visible (draw, crop, stickers, text, mosaic, adjust). Crop to show the photo plus the toolbar.

Add notes — type or dictate

1. Open the photo's notes field and type, or tap the microphone to dictate.
2. Dictation transcribes your speech to text as you talk. Tap the mic again to stop.

🎙️ Cropped detail The notes field with the mic button Close-up of the note input showing the microphone button, ideally mid-dictation with the active (waveform) state.

Tags

Add tags to any photo to label and filter across every stack. Manage your full tag list in Settings → Tags.

Custom fields capture structured info per stack — think Room #, Job Code, or Status. All values are searchable.

Set up a field

1. Open a stack's settings and add a custom field.
2. Choose a type: Text or Multiple Choice (a pick-list of options you define).
3. Optionally mark it Required so it must be filled when filing a photo.

🧾 Cropped region Custom field setup The add/edit field screen showing the type choice (Text / Multiple Choice) and the Required toggle. Crop to the form, no need for the whole stack settings page.

1. Open the Search tab and type any word — it matches across notes, tags, stack names, and custom field values.
2. Narrow the results with filter chips: stack, tag, date range, media type, location, and note/markup presence.
3. Tap a result to open it full screen.

🔍 Cropped region Search with filter chips The search field with a query typed, the filter chips row (stack, tag, date, type, location) below it, and a few results. Crop to the top of the screen through the first result row.

Export a stack as a Zip

1. In the Gallery, select the photos (or open a stack), then choose the export action.
2. The app bundles them into a Zip file you can share or archive. Markup and edits are flattened into the exported images.

Map view

Geotagged photos can be plotted on a map, grouped by stack, so you can see where a job's shots were taken.

Compare two photos

1. Open a photo full screen and choose Compare with… from its menu (or select two photos in the Gallery and tap Compare).
2. Pick the second photo. They're shown side by side with labeled banners — ideal for before/after.

🪟 Full screen Compare view Two photos side by side with the labeled banners (e.g. "Before" / "After"). A before/after pair makes the best example.

Replicate a shot Premium

1. Open a photo full screen and choose Replicate from its menu.
2. The camera opens with on-screen guides for the original's framing, level, and position. Line up until it reads Aligned, then capture.
