Refocus: Refocus & Relight Any Photo in 3D * Works on Any Photo, Clean Edges: No Portrait Mode needed. AI builds a 3D depth map from any shot, while edge-refinement keeps hair and shoulders crisp—without the jagged halos common in other apps. * Keep Everyone Sharp (No Manual Brushing): Tired of wide apertures blurring friends standing behind you? Simply tap multiple detected people, pets, or objects to keep them all in focus at different distances—no tedious mask painting. * Real Lens Bokeh: Choose from 14 aperture shapes (classic polygons, heart, star, donut, and more). Adjust depth of field (ƒ/1.2–ƒ/16) and bokeh size independently, and boost night-light highlights without shifting overall photo brightness. * True 3D Relighting: Switch to the interactive 3D view to place and orbit up to 5 lights. Enjoy smooth facial lighting without grid artifacts, complete with realistic 3D occlusion and ray-traced soft shadows. * Full HDR & 100% On-Device Privacy: Preserves true iPhone HDR from live preview to saved HEIC—your photos never turn dull or gray after export. All AI runs locally on your device, with zero cloud uploads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Refocus at none against Vimori's shown. Refocus also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). Vimori's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
