Core workflow

From quick pin to planned shoot.

Drop a pin fast

Save any location in seconds. Add notes, attach reference photos from your camera roll or camera, apply tags, and set a priority level so your best spots stay front and center.

Track your progress

Mark each spot as scouted or photographed, log every visit date, and archive spots you want to keep without cluttering your active list.

Organize into lists

Group locations into color- and emoji-coded collections. Filter by list, tag, priority, scouted status, or photographed status to zero in on your next shoot.

Plan around the light

Every location shows precise golden hour, blue hour, and sunrise/sunset times. Visualize the sun's path on an interactive map and pin your perfect moment.

Preview with your gear

Simulate focal lengths and sensor sizes with built-in camera profiles or create custom profiles matching your exact equipment. See how different lenses and sensors frame each location before you shoot.

Search and discover

Find the perfect spot with smart search and filtering. Drill into your library by name, location, tag, priority, scouted status, or any combination to discover exactly what you're looking for.

Backup and export

Export your complete location library to CSV or GPX formats for backup, sharing, or use in other apps. Import spots from other sources to consolidate all your locations in one place.
