Shoot Tokyo. Make stickers. TOKYO LENS turns your travel photos into your very own die-cut stickers — and your Tokyo trip into a keepsake travel journal. CAPTURE Take a photo or pick one from your camera roll. On-device cutout turns the subject into a die-cut sticker (or a framed one). Paste it onto the page, link it to the place you visited, and it lands on that day's travel page. Making stickers is free and unlimited. KEEP Your stickers live in a paper-textured travel journal: daily pages, folders, a diary calendar, a scrapbook board you can decorate with drawings, notes and emoji, and a Tokyo map that keeps the places you discovered close. SHARE & DISCOVER Publish a travel story with a caption, browse stories from travelers around the world on Discover, and collect stickers their creators chose to share. Collected stickers keep their creator's credit and never count as your own visits. UNDERSTAND (optional) Want the story behind what you photographed? Ask for an AI explanation of any saved sticker: TOKYO LENS explains the place in your language, can read it aloud, and suggests 2–3 nearby spots worth visiting next — each with an easy booking link. The free plan includes 5 explanations per day; Pro unlocks unlimited explanations. Made for travelers in Tokyo: place names include the original Japanese, and the app is available in English, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

KEY FEATURES • 12+ classic composition templates: Golden Spiral, Rule of Thirds, Diagonal, Leading Lines, Symmetry, Frame Within Frame, Negative Space, S-Curve, Triangle, Center… growing toward 40+ • Real-time viewfinder overlay — what you see is what you shoot • ZoomArc control — drag a single arc to scale the template smoothly to any composition • Customizable mask — adjust opacity, color, and line weight • Minimal 5-button dock — templates, mask, shutter, gallery, settings • Portrait-specific guides: gaze room, headroom, joint cropping, and more WHY "TRACING" Like the practice books children use to learn handwriting — you place the template under the paper and trace. Hackshot puts that same simple learning method into your camera: see the template, adjust the frame, take the shot. Over time, composition becomes muscle memory.
