## What is Foreframe?

Foreframe turns your iPhone into a pocket viewfinder for your real camera.

You see a scene, but your camera is in the bag — or at home. Instead of guessing, open Foreframe, pick your sensor format and focal length, and see exactly what your camera would frame. In seconds you know whether the shot is worth setting up for, or worth coming back for.

And when a place deserves a second visit, don't let it slip away. Save the frame as a spot: it keeps the preview photo, the location, your framing settings, and your notes — so the idea survives until you return with the right gear and the right light.

A VIEWFINDER THAT SPEAKS YOUR CAMERA'S LANGUAGE

- Simulate framing for Full Frame, APS-C 1.5x, APS-C 1.6x, and Micro 4/3
- Dial in focal length and aspect ratio right on the viewfinder
- Jump between six customizable quick focal presets while scouting
- Automatically uses the best-matching physical iPhone lens for a believable preview
- Tap to focus and AE/AF Lock for stable framing at longer focal lengths
- Optional 3x3 composition grid inside the active frame
- Live technical readout: field of view, matched lens, digital zoom

SPOTS: A MEMORY FOR PLACES WORTH RETURNING TO

- Save any preview as a spot, or add new captures to a spot you already know
- Each spot holds its photos, location, tags, a note, and a status — "want to return" or "completed"
- Browse your spots in a photo-first gallery with search, filters, and sorting
- Sort by nearest to see which saved compositions are within reach right now
- See all your spots on a map when you're planning a route
- Share or save any capture to Photos whenever you want — nothing leaves the app on its own

BUILT FOR THE FIELD

- Works fully offline — no account, no sign-in, no subscription
- All spots stay on your device; Photos access is add-only, your library is never read
- Your framing settings and presets are remembered between launches
- Fast, native, and designed to stay out of your way

FREE TO USE, ONE-TIME UPGRADE

Foreframe is free to download, and the viewfinder is free without limits. The free tier includes up to 5 spots with 5 captures each. Foreframe Prime — a single one-time purchase, no subscription — removes the spot limits and includes every future Prime feature. Family Sharing is supported.
