Getting Started

Three steps: choose a look, shoot, and find the shot in the Gallery.

1. Allow the camera and Photos

On first launch the app asks for the camera. The first time it saves, it asks to add to Photos. The first time you open a shot's RAW from the Gallery, it asks to read Photos, which is how it reaches the DNG attached to a picture. When the camera first appears it also asks for your location, used only to tag where a shot was taken; decline it or turn off Save Location in Settings and nothing is recorded.

2. Shoot

The camera always shoots Native: the camera's own rendering, nothing added. Looks are chosen afterwards, in the Gallery editor, and applied to that very frame; there is nothing to pick before the shot.

Tap the shutter. The picture is saved to Photos as the camera's frame, with the Bayer DNG attached when RAW is on. You can keep shooting while the previous shot is still being saved.

The two screens of a foldable

On a foldable iPhone the app works on both screens and in both orientations. Where iOS keeps a strip at the side for the status bar and the tab buttons, the picture runs under it and the controls stay clear of it; the selfie button moves into that strip, level with the lens row.
