Stay in the moment while Stilly handles the camera. Set your iPhone down, choose what should stand out, and start a private capture session. Stilly analyzes the scene on your device, watches for clear and distinct opportunities, and keeps a small set of full-resolution photographs for you to review afterward. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Use Stilly for family visits, playtime, pets, celebrations, cooking, performances, and activities that happen within a fixed camera view. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The camera feed never leaves your iPhone. Temporary analysis frames roll away from memory, raw audio is never saved, and only selected photos are stored. There is no account and no cloud media library. SMART, NOT INTRUSIVE Auto mode adapts between quiet scenes and action. Optional intentions prioritize people, kids and pets, or movement without preventing other good moments from being captured. REVIEW WITH CONTEXT Sessions stay organized. Swipe through full-screen moments, compare nearby alternatives, choose the best hero frame, keep favorites, discard misses, and export only what you want to Photos. Stilly must remain open while capturing because iOS pauses ordinary camera apps in the background.
