## What is Reflex?

Move, and the world answers — in light and in sound.

Reflex turns your camera into a living instrument. Whatever moves in the picture — a hand, your face, leaves in the wind — draws with light and plays the music. Sweep your hand and threads of light follow while piano notes bloom behind them. Hold still, and both settle: the light drifts away, the notes ring out.

MOTION MAKES MUSIC
Every effect comes with a generative soundtrack that listens to how you move. Nothing here is a loop — the music is composed live, so it never plays the same way twice. Your movement shapes how it plays, not only whether it plays: move gently for quiet phrases, move boldly and the notes grow louder and new instruments arrive. In headphones, each phrase comes from the side you moved on.

• Move — the music answers your motion
• Listen — the music plays on its own while you shoot
• Ten soundscapes: Lullaby, Splash, Oxalis 1, Eyes Closed, Aisatsana, Pulse-code Modulation, Agua Ravine, Glasswing, Estuary, Nocturne
• Piano, vibraphone, glockenspiel, guitar, violins, soprano sax, clarinet, cello, đàn tranh, birdsong and deep swells
• Or play a song from Apple Music instead
• Headphones recommended

NINE LIVING EFFECTS
• Silk — pull colored threads of light with your movement
• Glimmer — wake a cloud of starlight that curls and shimmers, or let it settle on you and shrug it off
• Ember — shed glowing sparks that rise and burn down
• Opal — sink below the surface and stir a wake through the water
• Dapple — stand in sunlight falling through willow, leaves, branch or maple, and stir the shade
• Trace — your scene becomes dots of light to push, part, or carry away
• Vortex — stir colored dust into currents that keep turning
• Resonance — scatter sand that settles into Chladni figures, reshaped by every note
• Nebula — pour your movement into a slow river of stardust
Every effect has its own settings and remembers them, so you can tune the look until it is yours. Each one also has a story, with things to try.

CALM SESSIONS
Switch from Camera to Calm, set the phone down, and rest. The controls step aside and the music moves the picture for you. Breathe along as it rises and falls, settling to about six breaths a minute, or simply listen. Sessions run from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, or with no timer.

BEYOND THE CAMERA
Run any effect over a video from your library. Bring in a photo and play it with your finger: drag across it to stir the effect and play the music. Touch works on the camera and on videos too.

RECORD THE WHOLE MOMENT
Record video and the generative soundtrack is captured with it, exactly as you played it. Or take a photo of the effect.

LEARN AS YOU PLAY
Short Guides with animated drawings show you how to make music with movement, tune an effect, and pick clips that work.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-01-14*

You can not upload videos and or pictures from your camera roll. Someone gave a review 2 years ago about not being able to upload videos and or pictures the response was that they will offer that feature soon…2 years later and they still don’t have that feature.

**Developer response:** Hello, the app does support video importing from the camera roll, for that you just need to tap on an effect from the effects list and there you will see all videos from your gallery to which you can apply the selected effect, if there are no videos please check if you have granted gallery permission to the app. I hope that helps.

### 5/5 — Beautiful app

*2022-03-03*

Amazing effects!

**Developer response:** Thank you ;)

### 1/5 — Вылетает

*2021-11-14, version 2.7.2*

Отказался от пробного периода платной подписки-теперь не могу войти, приложение закрывается после первого лого. Тк функционал я так и не увидел-0

### 4/5 — Cool Effects, But Pricey

*2021-01-03*

A good aesthetic camera with some unique effects, but a bit pricey. Most Apple subscriptions are unbelievably expensive. What ever happen to the days of paying to purchasing lifetime software for the price of an annual subscription. Especially, during these times of hardship is absurd. If you can afford it, this app has some unique styles.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-12-09, version 1.8*

Cool effects

### 1/5 — Basic Camera Capabilities Locked Behind Paywall

*2020-12-02*

The viewport preview is rendered in 60fps, but you can’t record at 60fps? That’s a basic capability of the device!

### 5/5 — Класс, но..

*2020-11-04, version 1.6*

Подписка для России ещё не дошла, готов единоразово отдать рублей 300-400 за приложение, но подписка отпугивает. Как бы на постоянке им не попользуешься, так, чисто истории попилить в Инстаграмм. За это жалко покупать подписку. Само приложение и эффекты конечно крутые, подобного мало

### 1/5 — Камера не работает без подписки

*2020-11-01, version 1.5*

Это просто мошенничество.

### 4/5 — Psycho-Logic Sight Seein' a Go Go...!!!

*2020-10-03*

Thank you & with Respect... 
 Not the Deep Fake News, but SomeTHiNG experienced yet, WiTHiN SiGHTS of the Now of Then, is now not the was of when...???  
    ⭐️Stars⭐️

### 4/5 — Хорошая. Я бы Купил

*2020-09-19, version 1.3*

Если бы она продавалась не подпиской
