About

Turn the photo you imagine into a practical shooting plan. Obtura coaches you through light, position, framing and a final check. Take natural portraits and moving subjects inside Obtura, or get exact settings for your manual or film camera. TAKE PHOTOS WITH YOUR IPHONE • Follow four visual steps, with short instructions and optional extra help • Take natural portraits or photograph moving children and pets from the guide • Switch between the rear cameras on your iPhone, adjust zoom and brightness, and tap to focus • Review the photograph, choose what needs improving and get a specific suggestion for the next attempt • Save originals in Obtura, reopen them later and export to Photos when you choose In app photo capture is available on iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro Max; on other iPhones the guides work with the Camera app, and the app tells you which applies. The Portrait effect remains a guide for the Camera app; capture in Obtura does not simulate Apple’s Portrait processing. PLAN FOR YOUR CAMERA For manual and film cameras: camera and lens profiles, spot or average metering, aperture, shutter and ISO recommendations, filter compensation, previsualisation and a shot journal. Simulated previews illustrate exposure, depth and motion; they are not a guarantee of the final photograph. ON IPHONE DUO The coaching card sits beside the live scene and the guide beside the camera. Opened in landscape, your journal and your saved photographs show in two columns. Every screen keeps its work when the window changes size. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no advertising tracking and no photography or usage analytics. Obtura does not upload your photographs, readings, profiles or journal to Nesia. Originals stay in the app until you choose to export them and are included in your Apple managed device backup. Copies saved to Photos may sync through your iCloud Photos settings. Apple and RevenueCat handle purchase information. Metering and preset guidance work offline. On supported devices, optional Apple Intelligence interprets your intent on device; preset guidance remains available without it. OBTURA PRO The light meter is free and unlimited. Camera profiles, calibration and the journal are free too, and on the iPhone route capturing, reviewing and exporting photographs are free; improving a saved photograph is free three times per rolling seven day period, then part of Pro. Without Pro, you can create three coached shots for your manual camera per rolling seven day period; each includes settings, technique and previsualisation, and the app shows how many remain. Obtura Pro removes that limit, as a monthly or annual subscription (14 day free trial on the annual) or a one time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage them in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. Privacy policy: https://nesia.studio/obtura/privacy/ Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Obtura takes its name from obturateur, the French word for shutter.

What's New in Obtura

2.1.1

October 24, 2026

Obtura 2.1.1 refines the coaching card and iPhone Duo. • iPhone Duo: opened in landscape, your journal and your saved photographs show in two columns. • When a coaching card is longer than the screen, Previsualise and Log shot stay within reach at the bottom. • A film stock's full name now shows on the card, and locking the aperture no longer moves the dials. • When Obtura shows its preset coaching, the card now says why. • Previsualisation says at once when the camera has moved to your other Obtura window. • Fixes and refinements throughout, in English and French.
