Only for iPhone
Free · In-App Purchases
Every capture shows GPS, date, and weather. Lens Trust signs with Content Credentials — opening Oct 31. Own the camera or unlock AI reports. Try free for 14 days.
Lens is a camera app for iPhone. Every capture gets a date and time stamp, GPS location, weather, and your project notes.
Lens Trust signs your metadata with the Apple Secure Enclave, a security chip in your iPhone, plus a certificate authority signature and a trusted timestamp, the moment you capture. No one can change the date, time, GPS, or weather after that. Lens is C2PA conformant at Max Assurance Level 1, a content-authenticity standard. Anyone who views the file can check where and when you captured it.
You can add an optional QR code to saved photos and videos. Anyone with the file can scan it to see when and where you captured it, plus any details you choose to share. A Lens scan link opens the same page in a browser.
Lens uses AI to turn captures into a PDF report in seconds, with a short summary you can hand to a client or inspector.
Lens is private by design. No account needed. Your data stays on your device, and AI processing is deleted right after.
