Change Focus

Features
Read full description

Change Focus can help you to change the focus of your photo. In the beginning, click the center "camera" icon to save the 3D image. Then, browse the photo you just took by clicking the bottom right photo. Click the photo to change focus on the point you click. You can change the blur ratio by dragging the slider. Press the "camera" icon to save the outcome image. On the setting page, you can set the blur degree. If you think blur is insufficient, you can make it heavier (but the processing time will also increase). You can also change the display/output image resolution (the larger, the slower). You can also change the view from 2D to 3D for better recognition of view depth. And turn the flashlight on/off by clicking the "torch" icon. p.s. Change Focus uses LiDAR to detect image depth. Please launch this application using iPhone 12 Pro or later / iPad Pro 2nd or later. Because of the resolution, the boundary phenomenon of the display image will not be obvious until the output photo (larger resolution).

Record voice and text notes, import audio, photos and documents, extract text, and search your library on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Export or back up your notes and optionally sync your library with iCloud. Local note-taking and search work without a NoteLink account. Apple handles supported on-device transcription and processing. For Czech and other supported languages, optional cloud transcription and analysis use NoteLink's Firebase/Google Cloud backend and Google Vertex AI Gemini after sign-in and informed permission. Cloud transcription runs after recording; live captions depend on Apple's supported languages. Cloud transcription and analysis require internet access and available credits. Cloud AI is an optional monthly auto-renewable subscription that adds 100 non-expiring credits for each paid renewal. An optional one-time purchase adds 100 credits without a subscription. Unused purchased credits accumulate and remain available after cancellation or subscription expiry. Cloud transcription uses 1 credit per started minute of audio; each cloud AI analysis uses 1 credit. Long recordings show the remaining credit estimate. There are no automatic usage overage charges. Prices are shown in your App Store currency before purchase. Manage or cancel the subscription through your Apple Account settings. Cloud permission also enables background note and attachment replication and optional sharing; you can withdraw it in Settings. Export your backend data or request cloud-account deletion in Settings. Account deletion preserves local notes and your iCloud library. Read the privacy policy for data recipients, storage, diagnostics and retention.
