An app that brightens up videos and photos taken in the night view and darkness. You can also add a night-vision-like effect. - Media Camera shooting Camera roll: Importing videos and photos Import (File Share) Paste Image (from Web Browser etc.) - Settings Tone selection: full color / monotone Monotone color: RGB setting Scope effect: ON / OFF Brightness adjustment Color adjustment Zoom: 1 to 100 times Storage resolution: 20-100% of original resolution - Output Save to camera roll: video, photo Video and photo sharing: AirDrop, LINE, Facebook, Dropbox, Instagram, ... - Note This appl realizes the effect of night vision scope by applying an original amplification process to the image. The smaller the amount of light during shooting, the more inevitable noise will be when processing brighter. Please note that it is not possible to brighten a dark video or photo with no light. The iPhone itself does not have a function to shoot using infrared rays like a commercially available night vision camera.
visionShift
Explore the world through the eyes of animals and tactical systems. This app simulates various visual spectrums like dog, bee, cat, night vision, thermal, and digital views. Capture and share unique perspectives with scientific data overlays.
- Dog vision simulation
- Bee vision simulation (UV)
- Cat vision simulation
- Night vision simulation (GPNVG-18)
- Thermal vision simulation
- Matrix digital view
- Live spectral data display
- Native video and photo recording

SHIFT YOUR REALITY. visionShift is a physics-based AR engine that simulates how animals and tactical systems perceive the world. Unlike standard filter apps, every lens in visionShift is calibrated against biological and optical research (verified with X-Rite ColorChecker). // THE BIOLOGICAL SPECTRUMS • DOG VISION (Canine Protanopia): Scientifically accurate simulation of the dichromatic eye. Features the verified neutral point at 480nm (Cyan turns Grey) and reduced red sensitivity. • BEE VISION (Insect Trichromacy): Simulates the compound eye mosaic and UV-to-Magenta spectral shift. See the hidden "nectar guide" patterns in flowers that humans miss. • CAT VISION (Feline): Tuned for the Tapetum Lucidum. Features amplified light sensitivity, motion-blur gating, and distinct color shifts compared to canines. // THE TACTICAL SYSTEMS • NIGHT VISION (GPNVG-18): A 1:1 simulation of Quad-Tube White Phosphor optics. Features real-time Poisson shot noise (scintillation) rather than static grain. • THERMAL (LWIR Proxy): Uses a Stefan-Boltzmann luminance-heat heuristic to differentiate biological heat signatures from ambient cold surfaces. • MATRIX (Digital): Real-time edge detection and Sobel operator rendering for a cyberpunk data-stream view. // THE PSYCHEDELIC LENS • 5-HT2A SIMULATOR: Procedural geometry based on Klüver’s Form Constants. Simulates the visual cortex feedback loops characterized in neurological studies. // PRO FEATURES • LIVE SPECTRAL DATA: Tap the 'i' button on any lens to see real-time frequency charts and biological data. • NATIVE RECORDING: Capture video (with audio) and photos directly to Camera Roll. • SCIENTIFIC WATERMARK: Exports include lens data overlays for social sharing authenticity. • NO ADS. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. One-time purchase for the complete engine. See what you've been missing. Download visionShift.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: visionShift at 100% against Night's 14%. Night's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
