Your car doesn't wait for a convenient time to have a problem. A light turns on. A noise starts. Something smells off two weeks after your last oil change. And most of the time, you're left wondering: is this serious, can I still drive, and what am I even supposed to tell the mechanic? Warning Light Camera answers the first question instantly — and then keeps helping long after that. POINT YOUR CAMERA, GET AN ANSWER. Take a picture of any dashboard warning light and get an instant identification, in plain English — what it means, how serious it is, and whether it's safe to keep driving. No more digging through a 400-page owner's manual at 11pm. NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT? BROWSE INSTEAD. Every one of the 90+ lights in our encyclopedia is searchable and just a tap away, with the same detail as a scan result — description, fix, and safety guidance. YOUR CAR, REMEMBERED — NOT JUST LOOKED UP. This is the part most car apps don't do: Warning Light Camera doesn't forget your car the moment you close it. Add each of your vehicles, and every light you scan, every symptom you notice, and every piece of routine maintenance gets logged and organized by vehicle automatically. That weird noise from three weeks ago? Still there, with the date, a note, and a photo if you took one. The light that keeps coming back? You'll actually be able to say "this is the third time," instead of just feeling like it. WALK INTO THE SHOP PREPARED, NOT GUESSING. When it's time to actually deal with something, build a report in one tap — every active light, issue, and maintenance item, organized, numbered, and ready to hand over, with your vehicle's year, make, model, and VIN already filled in. Text it, email it, AirDrop it, or just hand your phone to the mechanic. You show up with answers instead of a half-remembered story, and you leave feeling like you understood what happened — not like you just had to trust whatever you were told. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE, NOT JUST EMERGENCIES. Track more than one car. Log the wiper blades you keep meaning to replace, the oil change that's coming up, the brake pads you know are getting close — right alongside the actual problems. Warning Light Camera isn't just for the scary moments. It's meant to be the place you check in on your car, the same way you'd check in on anything else you actually take care of. POWERED BY ON-DEVICE IMAGE RECOGNITION. Built with machine learning trained on a real library of dashboard warning light photos — running entirely on your phone. When it's not fully sure, you'll see the other likely matches too, never just one guess dressed up as certainty. Try it. Scan your first light in seconds — and let it start remembering your car from there. ***** NEVER USE THIS APP WHILE DRIVING. ***** THIS APP DOES NOT REPLACE A TRIP TO THE MECHANIC.

Tilework arranges your photos and videos into one finished piece on your device. Pick a layout, drop media into the squares, choose a paper, set a caption, and export. All rendering runs on the device. • 350 layouts, from two squares up to fifteen • Pick several photos at once and they fill the squares in order • Video squares that keep playing inside the piece, up to four at once • Thirty papers and five patterns, in any colour you choose • Fourteen typefaces for the caption, with gradient ink and a label band • Export as an image, an MP4 video, or a moving still for your wallpaper • No account, no servers, no analytics, no advertising, no watermark FREE Layouts of two to four squares. HD export as JPEG. Three photo pieces and one video piece a day. Three saved drafts. Every ratio, all four looks, five typefaces and six plain papers. PRO All 350 layouts. Unlimited exports. 2K and 4K, lossless PNG and compact HEIC. All thirty papers, the patterns, colour from a photo and custom gradients. Fourteen typefaces, gradient ink and the label band. Video trimming, audio and cover frames. Batch saving. The social set. Moving stills. Available as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. LAYOUTS 350 layouts, sorted by how many squares they hold; the newest are gathered under Just added. Change the layout at any point and the photos stay where they are — the piece is rebuilt around them, not started over. MEDIA Photos and videos come from the system picker, so the app only ever receives what you choose. Pick several at once and they fill the squares in reading order. Each square can be panned, zoomed, rotated and mirrored, and the crop is stored as a proportion, so the same framing holds at every export size. A video square plays on a loop inside the piece. Trim the window, pick which square carries the audio, and choose the frame that shows when the piece is exported as an image. PAPER AND FRAME Six plain papers and thirty designed ones, plus five drawn patterns: grid, dots, lines, check and grain. Pattern colour and strength are yours to set. Take the paper colour from one of your own photos, or build a gradient. Frame width, piece corner radius, inner frames, square spacing, corner rounding and a cell shadow. A Polaroid mode gives the piece a thick bottom band with the caption inside it. CAPTION Two lines, either of which can be removed. Fourteen typefaces, six ink colours plus a gradient, size, weight and letter spacing. Top or bottom placement, three alignments, and four letter modes including small caps. EXPORT HD, 2K or 4K. JPEG, lossless PNG or compact HEIC. A video piece exports as an MP4 at up to 2K. The social set writes the same piece at three ratios at once. A piece with video can also be saved as a moving still. DRAFTS Every piece is saved as you work and listed with a thumbnail, so you can leave and come back. Saved pieces can be exported together in one pass. SUBSCRIPTION Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in Settings. PRIVACY Photos and videos are not uploaded. The app does not read your photo library; it receives only the items you select in the system picker, and asks for photo permission only to save finished pieces back.
