How it works

Your day, unchanged.

Step 01

Start. Then forget about it.

Open LightGPX before your shoot. Tap start. Slide the phone in your pocket and shoot for as long as you want. The phone records in the background. Screen off, no signal, airplane mode, doesn't matter.

Step 02

Stop when the day is done.

Whenever you're finished. Lunch, sunset, midnight. Hit stop. The trip is saved. There is nothing else to do until you get home.

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 its GPS, written straight into the EXIF. Your favorite photo editor reads the location from there.

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 write locations onto the photos 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.

What gets written to my photos?

GPS coordinates, written straight into the photo's EXIF. Your favorite photo editor reads the location from there.

Will it touch my RAW files?

Yes. GPS is written directly into the file's EXIF, 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.
