What if the evidence was there all along — just too faint to see? Every camera you've ever pointed at a dark hallway has been throwing away the most interesting part of the image. Beneath the visible picture lies a second layer of information: light fluctuations a fraction of a percent in strength, reflections that graze a wall for a single frame, movements smaller than a pixel. Ghost Pro Max is built on one idea — amplify that hidden layer in real time, and let you watch it live. Cutting-edge science, inspired by MIT. At its core, Ghost Pro Max runs a GPU-accelerated motion-amplification engine inspired by groundbreaking video magnification research pioneered at MIT — the celebrated techniques that made it possible to visualize a heartbeat in a person's face or measure invisible vibrations in a bridge, using nothing but ordinary video. Ghost Pro Max brings that caliber of technology out of the laboratory and into your pocket: a multi-scale pyramid decomposition with tuned temporal band-pass filtering, running live on your phone's GPU. And you control the science — adjustable frequency cutoffs, amplification strength, and an intelligent Smart Gain filter that tells coherent motion apart from sensor noise, so what you see amplified is signal, not static. Fluid mode, motion-only view, and see-in-the-dark accumulation give you multiple independent ways to examine the same scene, because repeatability is what separates investigation from imagination. The newest frontier: surface reflections. The freshest thinking in field research isn't about pointing a camera at empty air — it's about what empty air does to the surfaces around it. Walls, glass, floors, and water constantly catch reflections too dim and too brief for human vision. Ghost Pro Max's amplification engine makes these hard-to-see surface reflections visible as they happen, turning every room into an array of passive detectors. If something moves light — even barely — the surfaces remember, and now you can watch them do it. Immersive, hands-free investigation. Drop your phone into any VR headset and Ghost Pro Max becomes a full stereoscopic instrument: dual-eye amplified view, live compass band, and complete voice control — light, strobe, zoom, photo, record, sky watch — plus Bluetooth keyboard and remote support. Your hands stay free; your eyes stay on the evidence. An unmanned observer that never blinks. Arm the motion alarm, leave the room, and let the app guard the space with no human presence to contaminate the environment. Any disturbance that crosses your amplified threshold triggers the siren and records video automatically, with date and time burned into the frames for a verifiable evidence chain. The built-in word capture system logs signal-derived words live, ranked by statistical rarity — so you can judge for yourself what's noise and what's worth a second look. Eyes on the sky, too. Sky Watch mode locks onto moving points of light — aircraft, satellites, or the things that aren't either — tracking, boxing, and highlighting them with a motion-glow trail while you zoom in for detail. Your investigation, your data. Snapshots, recordings, word histories, and shareable logs — everything stays on your device, documented and exportable. The tools of this field have barely changed in decades: an EMF beep here, a static-filled recorder there. Ghost Pro Max is what happens when cutting-edge video science finally shows up to the investigation. Download it, point it at the quietest room in your house, and find out what your eyes have been missing. Post your evidence on social media and give us a good review if you catch something paranormal. Thanks! ...

ReciproMeter is a light meter for film photographers who need dependable long-exposure calculations. Use your iPhone camera to read exposure metadata, select your film stock and aperture, and get an immediate shutter recommendation. When exposure times run long, ReciproMeter applies reciprocity correction using official manufacturer data whenever available. For films where official datasheets stop short, ReciproMeter keeps the distinction clear: • Official manufacturer reciprocity data • Optional community-sourced long-exposure guidance • Optional experimental estimates, clearly labeled as lower confidence Features: • Live camera metering with full-screen exposure view • Exposure lock for holding a reading while composing • Built-in film library with official reciprocity sources • Community and experimental long-exposure tiers as separate opt-ins • Metering ISO / EI override for push-pull workflows • Bulb timer for corrected long exposures • Dark mode, light mode, or system appearance Remove Ads Forever is an optional one-time in-app purchase available in Settings. Remove all ads with no subscription or expiration. All existing metering and film features remain free.
