Mako Scrubber: EXIF Remover

Social media and messaging apps say they "strip" your photo metadata — but often only after harvesting it server-side first. Mako Scrubber strips it on your device, before it ever leaves.

OPEN SOURCE. Full source code available at github.com/themakoway/mako-scrubber (GPLv3)

It does two things: Audit & Scrub.

Audit: See exactly what's hiding in your photo — GPS coordinates, camera make/model, timestamps, software tags.

Scrub: Get a clean copy with all of it stripped, ready to share.

This app doesn't even have permission to access the internet. No servers, no tracking SDKs, no analytics. We couldn't take your data if we wanted to.

Features:
• View hidden EXIF data — GPS, camera hardware, software version, and more
• Strip identifying metadata with one tap
• Batch process multiple photos at once
• Offline-only by design — no internet permission requested or required
• Minimalist UI — no ads, no bloat, no "engagement" tricks
• 100% free

I built this because I wanted a tool that does one job well, without background tracking. Use it to audit your library or clean photos before they go online.

Your data should belong to you. Mako Scrubber keeps it that way.
