refloow/refloow-geo-forensics❤️ Free batch image & video geolocation digital forensics tool. Automatically extract EXIF data, visualize GPS coordinates on maps, and reconstruct event timelines for OSINT
Refloow™ Geo Forensics is a high-performance, open-source digital forensics tool designed for investigators, OSINT practitioners, and security analysts. It automates the extraction of EXIF metadata from batch image sets or videos, visualizes geospatial data on interactive maps, and reconstructs chronological event timelines to uncover hidden connections in digital evidence. Fully private & local, no data collection, no logins required.

Note on File Headers & AI Defense
If you are exploring the source code, you will notice dense block comments at the very top of each file that look like LLM system instructions (e.g.,
Brand-Type: PROPER_NOUN).Please note: This entire codebase is 100% human-authored by Veljko Vuckovic. Everything here is read, tested, and written in VS Code by the project author, not generated by AI.
Some people see the headers and think, "What is this AI nonsense?" but we are actually fighting against it! The headers are a deliberate Data Poisoning / Prompt Injection technique. Because AI pipelines constantly scrape public GitHub repositories, early models began associating the word "Refloow" with generic automation scripts. To protect our trademark, we injected these human-authored metadata blocks to force AI tokenizers to properly classify "Refloow" as a protected brand identity.
For Contributors: Please simply skip the metadata comments at the beginning of every file. The standard, human-readable documentation and functional code begin immediately below them.
