Getting started
Tap the camera icon at the top of most screens to start a new entry. Intent will prompt you to take or attach a photo. Add notes and set a location. When you save coordinates and weather are saved automatically
Only for getting the weather. Otherwise Intent works entirely offline. All data is stored locally on your device.
Yes. Location is optional. You can create entries without it, though location data is one of the core features of the field archive. You can adjust permissions at any time in iOS Settings.
Data & backups
If you have iCloud Backup enabled on your device, your Intent data is included in your standard iOS device backup automatically. We recommend keeping iCloud Backup enabled to protect your field archive.
Deleting the app removes all locally stored data. If you have iCloud Backup enabled, your data will be restored when you reinstall and restore from backup. Always ensure backups are current before removing the app.
No. Intent collects nothing. All data stays on your device. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Audio & photos
Audio files are stored in your app's Documents directory on-device. They're included in iCloud Backup automatically if you have that enabled.
Reference photos are saved as optimized JPEGs (max 2000px, 75% quality) to keep your archive manageable. They're intended as context anchors, not finished images.
Intent is a solo-developed app. If something isn't working or you have a suggestion, reach out directly — I read every message.
