Photo Day or Photo Trip on iPhone
Record in the background, pause and resume when needed, and let a multi-day trip create a fresh Photo Day at local midnight.
Location, carried through
Put every RAW on the map.
GeoSidecar connects the route recorded by your iPhone with Hasselblad RAW photographs already imported into Lightroom Classic—then applies GPS directly to the catalog after you review the matches.
Two devices, one flow
Record on iPhone. Finish in Lightroom.
The iPhone records a Photo Day—or organizes a two-to-fourteen-day Photo Trip—and privately synchronizes it through iCloud. On Mac, GeoSidecar calibrates the camera clock, matches the recorded route to your photographs, and hands approved results to its Lightroom Classic plugin.
Match Review on Mac
Choose the completed Photo Day, confirm camera-clock calibration, and review exact, interpolated, or needs-review matches before applying anything.
Lightroom Classic catalog
Follow the guided plugin installation, apply approved GPS to photographs already in Lightroom, and receive confirmation of every completed update.
The essentials
A careful workflow, not a black box.
Record
Capture one day or an extended trip on iPhone, monitor GPS health, and add a reference marker when you want precise camera-clock calibration.
Synchronize
Completed Photo Days move between iPhone and Mac through your private iCloud account.
Review
Preview the matched Hasselblad photographs with confidence levels that separate dependable results from anything needing attention.
Apply
Update the Lightroom Classic catalog directly, preserve existing GPS, and confirm which photographs were completed or still need action.
Made for the full trip
Less housekeeping in the field and at home.
GeoSidecar now carries the workflow beyond a single shoot, while keeping every destructive action explicit and every Lightroom result verifiable.
Multi-day Photo Trips
Plan two to fourteen days, keep each local day organized separately, and pause or resume recording without losing the trip structure.
Synchronized track cleanup
Select completed Photo Days in bulk on Mac, confirm the exact list once, and keep deletions synchronized across your private iCloud collection.
Receipt, not assumption
A queued batch is not called complete. GeoSidecar waits for Lightroom’s application receipt and reports applied, preserved, deferred, or failed photographs accurately.
Built around your catalog
Your originals remain original.
Your photographs must first be imported into Lightroom Classic. GeoSidecar matches locally on your Mac and uses its installed Lightroom plugin to update catalog GPS only after your review. It never rewrites your Hasselblad RAW photographs.
