HANDCRAFTED TOOLS FOR EXPERIMENTAL EDITING. angls is for those who love unconventional approaches to photo editing. Create glitch art, pixel manipulation, and digital distortion with complete creative freedom. WHAT angls DOES Eight hands-on effects, each built to reveal something your camera never showed you. Real-time previews mean you see exactly what you're creating before you save. CLONE - Multiply the moment. Trace a line, choose a direction, and watch pixels stretch across your frame. Go further with Split, Zoom, and Explosion, or free-rotate the direction at any angle (PRO). Free Transform (PRO) lets you reshape the stretched pixels with curve handles, bending them into ripples, folds, and S-curves. FLIP - Mirror the impossible. Draw a frame and flip what's inside, horizontal or vertical, live as you drag. Tint the flipped region with color, and adjust the border thickness (PRO). Swap (PRO) trades two regions pixel for pixel. Compose (PRO) merges two photos onto one framed canvas. HAZE - Glow from nowhere. Paint streaks of light and atmosphere onto your photo with a touch. POLY - Stack your story. Layer photos into one surreal composite, each one movable, resizable, and blended your way. SERIES - Watch golden hour unfold. Capture the light as it shifts, shot by shot, and turn the sequence into one striking strip. PRO adds Zoom Tunnel and Patchwork layouts and custom shot reminders. TIME - Scrapbook, reimagined. Arrange, rotate, and collage your shots into a single frame, over any background color. CROP & COLOR Frame it your way with every aspect ratio, then dial in the mood with hue, saturation, contrast, brightness, and invert. DUAL CAMERA Shoot with the front and back cameras at once. PRO lets you swap which feed is the main shot. WHO angls IS FOR For creators, artists, and photographers who care more about feeling than perfection. HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT Where many editors apply preset effects and chase polished results, angls is built for creative experimentation. Our tools reveal hidden patterns, textures, and possibilities in your photos, things that were always there, waiting to be found.

FREE Clone with the four main directions, Flip (horizontal, vertical, and color), 3 Haze uses, Poly with 2 photos, Series Strips layout, Time with up to 6 photos, Crop, Color, dual camera, and up to 15 photos in your gallery. angls PRO unlocks: - Clone: any-angle direction, Split, Zoom, Explosion, and Free Transform - Flip: border control, Swap, and Compose - Unlimited Haze - Poly: unlimited layers - Series: Zoom Tunnel, Patchwork, and custom shot reminders - Time: up to 20 photos - Dual camera feed swap - Unlimited photo uploads Perfect for experimental photo editing, glitch art, digital distortion, and visual exploration.

About

strix!

Features
Read full description

strix turns a photo into a stream of colour. Drag across the image and the pixels behind your subject stretch out and melt away, while the subject itself stays sharp. It finds the subject on its own. No masking, no lasso, no cutting it out by hand. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a photo — recent shots appear right inside the app, or take a new one 2. Drag across it. The direction you drag is the direction the pixels flow 3. Share it, or save it to your photos Drag in a straight line, or switch to curve and draw the path yourself. Pull the effect out from both sides at once. Press and hold the eye to check the original at any time. TUNE IT Seven sliders, if you want them: strength, wave, wave cycles, jitter, fade, chromatic aberration, and start offset. Or ignore all of it and just drag. YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS strix has no account, no server, and no analytics. Every pixel is processed on your iPhone's GPU, and subject detection runs on device too. Your photos are never uploaded anywhere. We could not look at them if we wanted to. STRIX PRO strix is free, and shows a full-screen ad when you export your image. strix Pro removes those ads for a single payment. It is not a subscription — buy it once and restore it any time with the same Apple Account.
