Point your camera at anything, tap once, and seconds later you have a finished piece of art made from your own photo, ready for your wallpaper, a widget, or StandBy.
There is no prompt to write. Your iPhone paints and grades the photo itself, then inscribes a line composed on-device about what it saw. It works in airplane mode, with no account and nothing uploaded.
WHERE YOUR PORTALS GO
A portal is meant to be used, not filed away in a gallery you never open again.
- Wallpaper. One guided step sets a portal as your background.
- Home Screen widgets in three sizes, so a portal sits among your apps all day.
- A quiet inscription line for your Lock Screen: the sentence Liminal composed about the moment.
- StandBy art for your nightstand while the phone charges on its side.
- A vertical share card for Stories, exported only when you choose to export it.
HOW ONE PORTAL IS MADE
Liminal is a camera and a darkroom in one app: the shot and the finished print happen in the same place.
1. Frame a moment. Your street, your window, the light on your kitchen table.
2. Tap once. Nothing to type, and no server to wait on.
3. The image comes back painted, graded and inscribed, and it is already yours to set.
The whole thing happens between the tap and the next few seconds, on the phone in your hand.
NOTHING TO WRITE
You are not describing a picture to a text box. There is nothing to get right and no keyword to invent. The photo is the whole instruction, and the line that ends up under it is composed on your iPhone out of what the camera saw, so it belongs to that moment and to no other one.
NOTHING EVER LEAVES YOUR IPHONE
Liminal runs entirely on your device, which means it runs in airplane mode. Switch the radios off on a plane or stand in a basement with no signal and make a portal anyway. Your photos are transformed on your phone and stay on your phone. There is no account to create, no analytics and no server anywhere on the path. Sharing happens once, when you export a card yourself and hand it to something else.
FREE EVERY DAY, FREE FOREVER
- Three transformations a day.
- The core styles.
- Your full gallery, kept on the device.
- Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy widgets.
Free is not a trial that runs out. Your existing portals, wallpapers and widgets keep working whether or not you ever subscribe, and nothing you have already made stops working at any point.
LIMINAL PREMIUM
Unlimited transformations instead of three a day, the full style room, and share cards with no Liminal mark on them.
