About MetaWrite

MetaWrite is a forensic EXIF metadata suite for macOS. It lets digital forensic investigators, cybersecurity analysts, investigative journalists, legal teams, and privacy professionals inspect every hidden tag in their files, rewrite timestamps, GPS coordinates, and device signatures, or erase them completely — with cryptographic hash records and printable PDF certificates, and without the files ever leaving the Mac.

MetaWrite is built by ProfWorkBench, LLC and distributed exclusively through the Mac App Store. It reads, edits, and hashes files on the Mac and never uploads them: no accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting. The only connections it starts by itself are to Apple — the App Store check at launch and, while Zero Telemetry is off, the map for a photo's GPS position; with Zero Telemetry on, no map is shown and the coordinates are not sent.

Approved boilerplate

MetaWrite — the forensic EXIF metadata suite for macOS. Every file testifies. Control what it says.
MetaWrite is a native macOS app for inspecting, rewriting, and erasing file metadata. It reads EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS, and maker-note blocks across images, video, PDF, and Office documents; records MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, and SHA3-256 hashes; and can document every operation in a printable PDF certificate — with zero telemetry, and without the files ever leaving the Mac.
