Android Guide – Intent

Photo shoots

1

Tap the + button on the home screen to start a new shoot.

2

Take or add a reference photo. Intent automatically records the date, time, location, and weather conditions for that moment.

3

Add a written note, or tap the microphone to transcribe your voice directly into the notes field.

4

Choose an existing location, or create a new one to file the shoot under.

5

Tap Save. Your shoot is stored locally on your device.

Note — Voice transcription runs entirely on-device and feeds directly into the notes field, so you can talk through what you're seeing without typing.

1

Tap a shoot from the home screen to open it.

2

Tap any field to edit — your notes, tags, or voice transcription.

3

Changes save automatically as you make them.

1

Tap Settings in the bottom navigation bar.

2

Tap Manage Locations.

3

Tap the location you want to rename. Edit the name and tap Rename.

Browsing your shoots

1

Tap the list icon in the toolbar on the home screen to toggle between the two views.

2

Location view (default) groups your shoots by where you shot them. Swipe horizontally to move between locations.

3

Flat list view shows all shoots in a single chronological list, newest first, across all locations.

Note — The toggle works in both All Shoots and Recent modes.

Tags

1

Open a shoot by tapping it from the home screen.

2

Tap the tags field and start typing. Intent suggests matches from your existing tags and a built-in list of photography terms.

3

Tap a suggestion to add it, or finish typing and confirm to create a new tag.

4

To remove a tag, tap the × on the tag inside the shoot.

Note — Tags are fully searchable. Once you tag a shoot "golden hour" or "long exposure," you can find every shoot with that tag from the search screen.

Search

1

Tap the magnifying glass in the toolbar on the home screen.

2

Type any word or phrase. Intent searches across your notes, tags, location names, and weather summaries simultaneously.

3

Results appear as you type. Each result shows a match hint so you can see at a glance why it came up.

4

Tap any result to open the full shoot.

Note — Try searching for weather conditions like "overcast" or "wind" — Intent captures those automatically, so your field conditions become searchable without any extra effort.

Recycle bin

1

Open a shoot by tapping it, then tap the trash can icon in the toolbar. The shoot moves to the recycle bin — it isn't permanently removed yet.

2

To access the recycle bin, tap Recycle Bin in the bottom navigation bar.

3

To restore an individual shoot, tap the rewind icon next to it. The shoot returns to the home screen exactly where it was.

4

To permanently delete a single shoot, tap the trash can icon next to it in the recycle bin.

5

To empty the entire recycle bin, tap the trash can icon in the top toolbar. All shoots in the bin will be permanently deleted.

Note — Deleted shoots don't appear in search results — only active shoots are searched.

Exporting your shoots

1

Tap Settings in the bottom navigation bar.

2

Scroll down to Data. Tap Export Journal.

3

Review the notes about what is exported. Tap Export Journal.

4

Choose the destination for the zip file. Email will be the best choice for most everyone.

Note — Export only exports the text details of your shoot as of version 1.
