AuraHDR Camera gives iPhone photographers advanced tools for capturing scenes that ordinary camera apps struggle with. Create detailed HDR images with up to 16-stop RAW exposure bracketing, achieve edge-to-edge sharpness with focus bracketing and automatic focus stacking, and shoot in Bayer RAW or Apple ProRAW—all from one powerful camera app. WHAT MAKES AURAHDR DIFFERENT? ADVANCED HDR CAMERA AuraHDR’s proprietary AuraEngine tone mapping recovers detail in challenging lighting conditions. Each scene is analyzed automatically, while built-in tone controls let you fine-tune the result. For darker scenes, the Low Light preset helps produce cleaner photographs with improved detail. 1. 16-STOP EXPOSURE BRACKETING Capture RAW or JPEG exposure brackets across a range of up to 16 stops for merging in your preferred HDR software. • Capture up to seven bracketed exposures. • Customize the number of exposures and interval between them. • High Quality Low Light mode uses a lower ISO for cleaner brackets. • Supports Bayer RAW and Apple ProRAW on compatible iPhones. 2. RAW FOCUS BRACKETING Capture tack-sharp close-ups and landscapes with greater depth of field. • Choose automatic or manual focus bracketing. • Capture up to 100 bracketed images. • Adjust the focus interval for different subjects. • Capture in RAW or JPEG. • Use the draggable magnifier and real-time focus peaking to identify areas of sharp focus. In Auto mode, select the nearest focus point and let AuraHDR capture the sequence. In Manual mode, tap different areas of the frame to choose each focus position. Import the frames into apps such as Affinity Photo or Luminar Neo to create images with edge-to-edge sharpness. 3. AUTOMATIC FOCUS STACKING CAMERA Automatic Focus Stacking combines bracketed images inside AuraHDR and saves the completed result—no external stacking software required. • Ideal for macro, product, and food photography. • Select the nearest focus point and press the shutter. • Both the bracketed sequence and focus-stacked image are saved. • Designed for use with the iPhone’s main camera. 4. BAYER RAW AND APPLE PRORAW CAPTURE Choose the RAW format that best suits your workflow. • Capture minimally processed Bayer RAW files for maximum editing flexibility. • Use Apple ProRAW for RAW flexibility with Apple’s computational processing. • Capture Apple ProRAW at up to 48MP on supported Pro iPhones. • Available formats and resolution depend on your iPhone model. 5. LONG EXPOSURE AND FRAME STACKING Create smooth long exposures of flowing water, moving lights, and other moving subjects directly inside AuraHDR. Frame Stacking captures a sequence of individual images for processing in compatible software. Blend them to simulate longer exposures or average them to reduce noise in static low-light scenes. 6. ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES Moon Mode captures four exposures to help photograph visible lunar detail. A tripod is recommended for focus stacking, long exposures, frame stacking, and High Quality Low Light capture.

Your security camera captures everything—except the one thing you need most: the time it happened. When you need to prove exactly when an event took place, most camera clips leave you guessing. No timestamp. No documentation. No proof. Time Stamp Adder burns a clear, accurate timestamp into every frame of your video in seconds—so the date and time travel with the footage wherever it goes. WORKS WITH YOUR CAMERAS Built for Blink home security cameras, with support for DJI drones, Lorex, Ring, and virtually any video on your iPhone or iPad. For Blink clips, the recording time is detected automatically from the file name. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import a video from your photo library—or share it straight from the Blink app. 2. The app reads the recording time and previews your timestamp. 3. Tap once to burn it in, then save or share. FEATURES • Automatic time detection from Blink file names • Adjust the detected time before you stamp, so it's always accurate • Camera and location labels (like "Front Door") above the timestamp—auto-filled for Blink clips • Multiple date and time formats: 12- or 24-hour, US, ISO, and more • Time-zone control for footage recorded elsewhere • Place the timestamp anywhere: any corner, an edge, or a full-width bar • Custom font size, color, stroke, and background • Even-width digits, so the time never jitters as the seconds tick by • High-quality, visually lossless output • Keep using your phone while videos process in the background—we'll notify you the moment they're ready PERFECT FOR • Insurance claims and evidence documentation • Security and property records • Knowing exactly when an event occurred • Sharing footage that speaks for itself Footage without a date is just a clip. Add the proof. Questions or an idea for the app? We'd love to hear from you—reach out any time.
