What it does

Stock-grade photos.
Proof of place built in.

Most third-party cameras look worse than your stock app because they skip the manufacturer’s computational pipeline. Meridian borrows it — and adds precise, honest geotagging on top.

Stock-grade quality

Taps your phone’s own computational-photography pipeline via CameraX Extensions — real multi-frame HDR & Night mode, not a hand-rolled imitation.

Precise geotagging

Clean GPS EXIF — latitude, longitude, altitude, bearing, timestamp — written straight into every capture. Warm location means never “location: unknown”.

Optional visible stamp

Burn coordinates, address, altitude and time onto a separate copy. The full-quality master always stays untouched.

Photo, Video & Portrait

Full capture modes with a recording timer, and a Portrait mode that binds your phone’s real bokeh pipeline — not a blur filter.

Share-proof & private

Generate a scannable QR proof of a shot — or strip location entirely on share, which actually removes the metadata.

Pro controls

Tap-to-focus, exposure compensation, flash, HDR/Night strip, grid and lens flip — the controls you reach for, where you expect them.

How it works

From install to geotagged in a minute.

    Grant camera + location

    One-time permission. Location warms up the instant the camera opens.

    Shoot geotagged photos

    Every shot carries clean GPS EXIF. Toggle the visible stamp when you need proof.

Two builds

One camera, two location engines.

The camera, the capture pipeline and the EXIF writing are identical in both. Only where the location fix comes from changes.
