EasyGeotag: Geotag Photos

Your camera knows when you took the shot. Your iPhone knows where you were. EasyGeotag puts the two together. Record a GPS track on your iPhone while you shoot. Later, on your Mac or iPad, point EasyGeotag at a folder of photos. It matches each frame to where you were standing at that moment and writes the coordinates into the file, ready for Apple Photos or wherever your work lives. RECORD WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT IT • One tap starts a trip. Lock the phone and put it in your pocket. • Distance mode logs a point only when you have really moved. Or sample every 15 seconds to 5 minutes to save battery. • Start it, stop it or ask how far you have gone, from Siri or a Shortcuts automation that fires when Camera opens. • Set the confirmed movement and worst GPS accuracy you will accept, with a notification if the signal stays poor. • Search your trip history, group it by month or year, and rename any trip; the GPX file is renamed with it. • On supported Apple Intelligence devices, Suggest from Route offers up to three short names grounded in the route itself. • That runs on device. Raw coordinates never enter the model prompt, and nothing is renamed until you tap Save. An optional Apple Place Lookup, for place-specific names, is on by default. OR BRING THE TRACK YOU ALREADY HAVE • Open a standard GPX from a GPS watch, handheld, action camera or other software. • Same matching and metadata-writing workflow, with recent tracks one click away. TAG ON THE MACHINE YOU HAVE WITH YOU • The Mac and the iPad run the same workspace: photos on one side, map on the other. On the road, pull a card straight into the iPad and tag before you get home. • Drop a photo, folder or GPX file straight onto the window. A photo dropped on the map is placed there; folders and tracks open directly. • Write every match, Select All, choose a range on Mac or use multi-select on iPad, then tag only that selection. • Positions are interpolated between fixes, so thirty frames in ten seconds get thirty coordinates. • Camera clock wrong? Correct it to the second, or let EasyGeotag work the offset out from one photo of a clock. • Embedded camera timezones stay authoritative in mixed-camera folders; your chosen timezone fills only missing zones. • Drag any unmatched photo onto the map to place it by hand. • Photos that already contain GPS are clearly marked. Choose whether to overwrite them or skip them automatically. WRITE REAL METADATA • JPEG and HEIC through Apple's own ImageIO, on Mac and iPad alike. • On Mac, RAW is written in place by ExifTool, bundled inside the app, nothing to install. • On iPad, RAW gets an XMP sidecar instead, read by common RAW editors, original untouched. • Existing XMP sidecars stay untouched by default. Opt in to replace only their GPS and location fields, keeping ratings, keywords and develop settings. • On Mac, control embedded XMP separately for proprietary RAW and DNG files. • City, state and country written into IPTC, so photos are searchable by place, not just plotted on a map. NOTHING YOU CANNOT UNDO • Every file modified in place is copied to a backup folder before writing, on by default, and Restore Originals puts them back at any time. • Sidecar-only RAW operations never open the original for writing, and you are asked to confirm before a single file is modified. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos, tracks and locations stay on your devices and in your own iCloud account. A small counter tied to your Apple Account keeps track of the five free photos; it never receives photos, filenames or locations. No accounts to create, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. The optional route-name suggestion needs a compatible Apple Intelligence device, supported language and OS 26 or later. Manual naming works everywhere. TRY IT FIRST Recording trips on iPhone is free and unlimited. Geotag five free photos per Apple Account on Mac and iPad, then one EasyGeotag Bundle purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac, with Family Sharing.
