Capture
Take a new photo or import an existing one with the field context you need.
THE COMPLETE FIELD CAMERA
Add project and location context, mark important details, organize each visit and create reports. Core capture and reporting work offline without a JotCam account or recurring fee.
01 / THE COMPLETE WORKFLOW
JotCam keeps the photo and its context together, so you do not have to reconstruct the record later.
Take a new photo or import an existing one with the field context you need.
Add photo notes and markup to identify the relevant details.
Place the photo within the correct Project Profile, Project and Session.
Create a Field Report, Photo Log, CSV export or KMZ export without uploading the project to a server.
02 / CAPTURE WITH CONTEXT
A construction photo is easier to understand when the reader can see where it belongs, when it was taken and which way the camera faced. JotCam puts that context directly on the finished image.
Documenting similar work areas · Returning weeks later · Sharing outside the original team · Recording large or linear sites
Location and compass information are generated by the device and are intended to provide field context, not survey-grade measurement.
03 / NOTES & MARKUP
JotCam provides two types of notes. Photo Notes are stamped directly onto the finished photo, while Report Notes are included only in the PDF report. Both let you preserve useful context without forcing every detail onto the image.
Add notes during review or to imported photos, use reusable templates, see note length while writing, and annotate new or imported images in yellow, red or white. Notes preserve the factual observation; markup directs the reader to the relevant part of the image.
Markup tools let you point directly to a specific condition on the image. Add arrows, shapes, freehand lines or text in yellow, red or white so the reader can quickly see exactly what the note refers to.
Once an annotated photo is saved, its visible Photo Note becomes part of the finished image and cannot be quietly rewritten later. Report Notes remain separate from the image and appear only in the generated PDF report.
04 / ORGANIZATION
Use the same familiar site names on every visit while keeping each date-specific record separate.
Project Profile represents the overall job, client, property or long-running assignment.
Project represents a particular inspection, reporting date, site walk or work event.
Session represents a site, area, structure, discipline or photo grouping within that Project. Sessions are your “sites.”
The same Session name can be reused across Projects. “Tower A” on August 16 remains separate from “Tower A” on August 23, so repeated visits never mix together.
05 / REPORTS & EXPORTS
JotCam includes report and data-export options in the field workflow.
Define up to four custom report note fields for the specific information your work requires. Collect the data once in JotCam and avoid transcribing it into a report or spreadsheet later.
A detailed PDF for formal observations, inspections and documented findings.
A streamlined visual PDF for progress updates, client communication and concise records.
Export structured project photo information, including a separate column for every Custom Report Field.
View documented photo locations geographically in compatible mapping applications.
06 / OFFLINE & PRIVATE
Service can be unreliable in basements, parkades, mechanical rooms, remote work areas and partially completed buildings. JotCam keeps core field-documentation features available on the device.
Capture, organize, annotate and report without contacting a server. Internet access is required to purchase, restore or occasionally validate Pro access.
07 / PRACTICAL USES
Create consistent visual records across repeated site visits.
Add a photo note and use markups to point directly to the relevant condition.
Keep follow-up photos separated by date, Project and Session.
Create the appropriate report or export without rebuilding the record in the office.
08 / COMMON FIELD-DOCUMENTATION WORKFLOWS
See how JotCam handles common field-documentation tasks.

Create GPS- and timestamp-stamped photos →Display UTM coordinates directly on environmental, construction and inspection photos.
Create UTM-stamped field photos →Point directly to deficiencies, conditions and completed work with clear annotations.
Mark up field photos clearly →Document work before, during and after completion with visible project context.
Create proof-of-work photo records →Turn selected project records into structured Field Report or Photo Log PDFs.
Create professional field photo reports →09 / FREE + PRO FEATURES
10 / COMMON QUESTIONS
Core capture, import, stamps, notes, organization, markup and reporting features work locally without a network connection. Internet access is required to purchase, restore or occasionally validate Pro access.
Configurable date, time, project or site label, Photo Note, Decimal Degrees or UTM coordinates, and compass heading in degrees and cardinal direction.
Custom Report Fields let you define up to four labelled fields for job-specific information. Their values appear as labelled entries in PDF reports and as separate columns in CSV exports, reducing the need to transcribe field data later.
The Field Report is the more detailed format for formal observations and findings. The Photo Log is a streamlined, photo-led visual record. Both support optional company branding.
Yes. Existing photos can enter the organized workflow, receive notes and be marked up before the finished record is saved.
Yes. The same Session name can be reused in different Projects. Each instance remains separately stored beneath its own Project.
Project information and photos are stored locally on the device and are not automatically uploaded to a JotCam cloud service. Limited purchase information is processed separately by Apple or Google and RevenueCat.
No. Device-generated coordinates and headings are contextual aids and should not replace approved survey methods where precise positioning is required.
