## What is shobonizer?

Shobonizer spots everyday rectangles — keyboard keys, sticky notes, screens, signs, boxes — and stamps them with the classic Japanese "shobon" face ω. The result: any boring view becomes an army of gently disappointed ω stickers.

■ Features
・ Real-time rectangle detection powered by the Vision framework, with rounded-quad stickers that follow tilt and perspective
・ Tap the shutter for a photo, hold it to record video — the ω overlay is baked into the saved video
・ 9 built-in emoticon presets, plus add your own
・ Randomize mode puts a different face on each detected object
・ Saves to both an in-app history and the Camera Roll
・ Share sheet for sending straight to Messages, email, or social apps
・ Pick any text color from the color picker

■ Great for
・ Spicing up dull meeting slides
・ Turning a whole keyboard into a parade of ω faces
・ Making a stack of sticky notes look appropriately defeated
・ Giving any everyday scene a shot of quiet despair

Thanks for using Shobonizer (´・ω・`)

### 3.0.0 — 2026-04-25

Shobonizer 3.0 is a full Swift rewrite targeting iOS 17+ — the first major update since 2013.

■ What's new
・ Vision-based rectangle detection with stickers that follow tilt and perspective
・ EMA smoothing and hysteresis to eliminate the flicker from older builds
・ Long-press the shutter to record video, with the ω overlay baked into the file
・ In-app history backed by SwiftData, with auto-generated thumbnails
・ Subtle black sticker edge so the overlay stays readable on white backgrounds
・ Full Japanese / English localization

■ Retired
Auto-capture mode, the front camera, direct social posting, iAd, and the old OpenCV face detector have been removed after years of being unused.

Note: history and presets are reset when upgrading from older versions.
