GPS, time, weather, and QR verification on every capture

Most field camera apps are an afterthought. Lens is built by a civil engineer for field engineers, inspectors, adjusters who treat photos as evidence. Every capture gets GPS, weather, and a scannable QR anyone can verify in a browser. AI reports reference local building codes by jurisdiction. Core features: one-time purchase, no subscription.
Yo— Reneboy here, a civil engineer and the person who built Lens.
The story starts on a job site. I needed GPS and timestamps on my photos. The existing apps worked. But none of them felt like anyone who built them had ever stood in the field.
I kept thinking about the Victorinox Swiss Army knife. It's survived over a century not because it does everything, but because every tool it has is refined for a specific instance. Its constraints are what make it special. That became the standard for Lens — not a feature dump, just the right tools, done with care.
One thing I want to be upfront about: we hit a wall with C2PA conformance. AI hallucinated a non-existent tag in our implementation and got flagged. We didn't hide it. We are rebuilding the implementation and we're still working toward the official list. That's our moat — and right now, our kryptonite. And that's the truthy, its a wall to overcome. back to the good vibes
If you treat your photos as evidence, I'd love to know how Lens feels in your hands.
Good and bad feedback are welcome, but please be gentle this is my first launch. :)
