Mark the spot
Drop a pin where you want to shoot. Captures are stamped automatically with GPS, compass bearing and EXIF, then filed in your library.
Your all-in-one photography planning platform
Plan the sun, moon and Milky Way, track the weather and sky, scout your locations and run every field calculator — big-screen comfortable, pocket-ready and fully offline, always in sync.

How it works
Drop a pin where you want to shoot. Captures are stamped automatically with GPS, compass bearing and EXIF, then filed in your library.
Scrub a time dial to see exactly where the sun, moon and Milky Way will sit over your subject — any day, any place.
Viewpoint watches the forecast and pushes you a notification when conditions line up for clear skies, fog or golden light.
Now on the web
Open web.getviewpoint.app in any browser and pick up exactly where your phone left off. Reviewing a region, dropping pins, reading notes and reference photos, planning compositions — all far easier with a real pointer and a large map.
Your library
Every spot you find becomes a card in your library — the photo you made, the gear you used and exactly where you stood, captured the moment you press the shutter.
Sun, moon & Milky Way
Check the phase, the dark-sky window and exactly when the Milky Way core rises — for any night and any place, computed right on your device.
Everything in your field kit
An almanac, a planner, a rack of field calculators, a live light meter, an AR scout, a share studio, live conditions and a scouting notebook — every one of them in a single app. Here's the whole kit.
New tools ship almost every week — open the app and keep finding them.

Widgets
Seven home- and lock-screen widgets keep the day’s light, tonight’s sky, your next shoot and live conditions a glance away — most of them free, no subscription.
Built offline-first
The best light is rarely where the bars are. Your spots, captures, notes and saved plans live on the device first — open them, edit them and plan from them with no connection, then let them sync when you’re back in range.
● No internet needed for your libraryWhat you can count on
Every decision is made in the field, not a boardroom.
Viewpoint doesn’t sell data or run ad networks. Analytics is opt-in, and nothing personally identifying is collected.
Your library is yours — export it or delete your account yourself, any time. It lives on your device and, on the Online plan, syncs to our servers so it’s on your other devices too.
Only in Viewpoint
Two things you won't get anywhere else: a live meter for the light in front of you, and a studio to turn the shot into something you can post. Both on-device, both fully offline.
Field tools · live
Photographers reach for a separate app to meter a scene. Viewpoint's is built into your field tools and live — point it at the light for real-time exposure, zone metering and colour-temperature feedback, right where you're standing. Not a theoretical calculator: the actual reading, in the field.
Offline works with no signal · Included from Offline up
Studio · post & share
Other photography apps stop at the plan. Viewpoint keeps going — a growing studio that turns a finished photo into a swipeable carousel, a smooth pan video, a profile-grid mosaic or an EXIF spec card, sized for Instagram, TikTok and the feed. No other app in this space has it.

Why Viewpoint
An almanac, a planner, a rack of field calculators, a live light meter, an AR scout, a share studio, live conditions and a scouting notebook — buy them separately and it's a shelf full of apps. Viewpoint is all of them, in your pocket and on the big screen, and much of it works with no signal. New tools ship almost every week. Honest by design: no ads, no tracking, your data stays yours. A free trial before you pay a cent.
The story
I’m Marcos. I built Viewpoint because I kept driving out to a spot only to find the sun in the wrong place, the moon already gone, or the fog that never came. I wanted one tool that planned the shot and worked when I had no signal.
It’s independent software — no investors, no growth team, no dark patterns. The subscription pays for the live weather data, the backend and the time to keep it honest.
Scout it, plan the light, and be there when it’s right — on your phone or the big screen.
