Why Baftr?

Taking consistent before-and-after photos in the field is harder than it sounds. GPS alone isn’t enough, you end up scrolling through your photos trying to remember what you haven't already captured an after for, and forgotten photo points lead to incomplete documentation.

Baftr keeps unfinished photo sets visible, helps you return and line up the next shot, and turns your before-and-after photos into a clear record you can share.

Common Field Uses

Trail maintenance documentation and reporting
Conservation and restoration project photo point tracking
Construction, landscaping and remodeling documentation
Volunteer and nonprofit project reporting
Tracking home projects over time
