iPhone or iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Free to download — three-day trial, then a one-time unlock.

What it does
- Tone & color. Exposure with soft highlight roll-off, contrast, highlights/shadows, whites/blacks, temperature, tint, vibrance and an RGB tone curve.
- Local corrections. Brush, radial and linear masks — each with the full adjustment stack — plus AI subject and sky masks, all computed locally.
- Depth-aware bokeh. Uses the depth map embedded in Portrait shots, or estimates one on-device — your choice, always clearly labeled.
- Lens characters. Six simulated vintage lens looks: swirl and soap-bubble bokeh, soft portrait glow, toy-camera distortion, anamorphic ovals and streaks.
- Analog finish. Optical filter magazine, film emulation with grain, halation, straighten and keystone correction.
- Private by design. No account, no analytics, no cloud — the app works entirely offline.
Requirements
