MetaCheki - No GPS Camera

What Is MetaCheki?

MetaCheki is a simple camera app that lets you take photos without saving location information. It is designed for situations where you are about to show photos to others—marketplace listings, social media, blogs—and feel uneasy about whether the shooting location might remain in the image. The app avoids unnecessary features and focuses on shooting and saving.

Typical Situations

Worried your product photos might reveal your home

When you use photos taken at home for marketplace listings, you may worry about location data remaining in the files. Photos taken with MetaCheki do not save location information, making it a comfortable choice for product photos you plan to publish.

Avoiding location leaks in social media and blog photos

If you shoot your posting photos with MetaCheki in advance, there is less second-guessing—"is this photo safe to post?"—before publishing. Captured photos are gathered in a dedicated album, which also makes pre-post checks easier.

Shooting in the right shape for where you post

Switch the aspect ratio between 4:3, 16:9, and 1:1 to match the destination or purpose. The grid display helps you keep product photos level and well composed as you shoot.

FAQ and Notes

Where are my photos saved?

They are saved to the "MetaCheki" album in the Photos app, so they are easy to find later and convenient to check before posting to marketplaces or social media.

How can I reduce camera shake?

Besides the on-screen shutter button, you can shoot with the volume-up button or a compatible Bluetooth remote shutter. Keeping the device fixed and triggering the shutter remotely makes it easier to take steady product photos.

What happens to metadata other than location?

MetaCheki removes only the location (GPS) information. Other metadata, such as the date and time the photo was taken, is saved just as with a regular camera—so you keep the information useful for organizing photos while leaving out only the location.

Can it remove location data from photos I have already taken?

MetaCheki is not an editing app that strips metadata from existing photos. It is a camera app that saves photos without location data from the moment of capture—"never recorded" rather than "removed later." To remove location data from photos you have already taken, please use a separate app with editing features.

Pricing and supported OS

MetaCheki is a free download on the App Store and supports iPhone running iOS 17.0 or later.

Background

MetaCheki is a lightweight, easy-to-use camera app developed to reduce the small anxieties before posting photos to marketplaces and social media. Privacy-focused cameras tend to accumulate settings, but MetaCheki deliberately keeps them minimal, prioritizing the ability to shoot quickly and save photos free of location information.
