Capture sharp long exposures — no tripod required. With advanced AI stabilization, Light Stack lets you shoot handheld for up to 30 seconds — with consistently sharp, natural-looking results. To help you stay steady and in control, Light Stack offers some unique features: • True-to-Motion Preview: The live preview moves naturally with your hands, giving you intuitive feedback that helps you stay steady. No more fighting to keep a crosshair centered. • Failure Response: If motion tracking is lost, you choose what happens: temporarily pause the exposure, end it cleanly, or keep going without stabilization. No surprises, and no ruined shots when things don’t go as planned. • Full-Resolution Pipeline: Light Stack maintains full resolution from capture to final image. No cropping, and no upscaling to cover it up. Try it free and experience the convenience of Light Stack. --- Terms of Service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Frametell turns your photos into editorial-looking Instagram carousels in under a minute. WHAT IT DOES • Pick photos from your library — order is preserved. • Type a caption right on the photo, in the spot where it will sit in the final frame. WYSIWYG — what you see is what gets saved. • Choose a font: New York serif, SF Pro sans, Cormorant Garamond, Manrope, or JetBrains Mono. • Save the rendered carousel into a dedicated "Frametell" album in your Photos library, ready to be picked up by Instagram. TWO FORMATS • 4:5 (1080×1350) — standard Instagram post carousel. • 9:16 (1080×1920) — Instagram Stories and Reels (Frametell Pro). EDITORIAL TYPOGRAPHY A vignette gradient is composited under the caption so text is readable on any photo without a flat black box. The same font, the same position, the same look as on the preview screen — no surprises in the export. PRIVACY-FIRST • Photos and captions never leave your device. • No analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs. • No App Tracking Transparency prompt — there is nothing to track. • On-device storage only: project history is in the app sandbox, exported frames are in your Photos library. FRAMETELL PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE For $4.99 you unlock: • 9:16 Stories format. • Three premium fonts (Cormorant Garamond, Manrope, JetBrains Mono). • No subscription. Pay once. Forever. WHY USE IT If you have ever wanted your travel photos, gallery shots, or work portfolio to look like a magazine spread instead of a default Instagram post, this is the one tool that does that without exporting through Photoshop, Figma, or a desktop. Pick five photos on your way home, type captions in five seconds, ship to Stories the same evening.
