New in 1.5: Experimental Nearby Reminders for selected photos, a draggable Compare view, and optional custom titles in exported images.
Capture repeatable before-and-after photos in the field. Baftr helps you return to the original location, match the framing, track unfinished photo sets, and export clear comparisons.
Built for contractors, land managers, trail crews, conservation teams, inspectors, and anyone who needs consistent visual documentation over time.
WHAT BAFTR HELPS YOU DO
• Capture before photos with location, compass heading, and date information
• Return to the original photo location using distance and direction guidance
• Overlay the original image while capturing an after photo
• Adjust overlay opacity or use an edge overlay for precise alignment
• See which photo sets still need an after photo
• Add multiple after photos to document changes over time
• Sort photo sets by date or distance from your current location
• Organize photo sets into folders by project, site, or client
• Export polished before-and-after comparison images
• Customize export size, quality, spacing, and optional title and date labels
• Share complete or partial Baftr photo sets and folders for backup or collaboration
• Import shared photo sets from backup or other users
• Work fully offline without cell service or WiFi
BUILT FOR REPEATABLE FIELD PHOTOGRAPHY
GPS can help you return to the general location, but it cannot recreate the original framing—and ordinary photo libraries do not show which locations still need an after photo.
Baftr keeps the original photo, location, and heading together. When it is time for the follow-up, Baftr guides you back, displays the original over the camera view, and helps you line up a consistent shot.
COMMON USES
• Trail maintenance documentation and reporting
• Conservation, restoration, and photo-point monitoring
• Construction, landscaping, and remodeling documentation
• Site inspections and field observations
• Volunteer and nonprofit project reporting
• Home and property projects tracked over time
Your photo library is stored on your device. Export comparison images for presentations and reports, or create complete Baftr packages for backup and sharing.
Experimental Nearby Reminders: Turn on reminders for selected before photos and get a notification to take the after photo when you return near its location.
Compare view: Completed photo sets now include a draggable before-and-after reveal alongside the existing Photos view. Choose the default view in Settings.
Export titles: Photo sets with custom titles can optionally embed that title in the image.
Multiple bug fixes and speed and memory optimizations.
