Remember when photos looked like memories, not algorithms? TruePix Camera brings back the simple joy of point-and-shoot photography. No AI processing. No computational tricks. No post-processing mess. Just your camera, as it is. What you get: • Instant shooting – tap once, photo's done • Multiple lenses – ultra-wide, wide, telephoto (if your device supports them) • JPEG or HEIF – pick your format, no fuss • Gallery – swipe through your shots, zoom in, drag to close • Privacy by design – everything stays on your device, always NOTE: all images are saved at maximum available size, which is apparently without fusion-processing is limited to 12mp. Unfortunately. Not through lack of trying on our end. Sorry. What you won't get: No AI enhancement. No scene detection. No HDR stacking. No computational photography. No cloud uploads. No data collection. Why this matters: You've probably seen it—take a photo, it looks fine for a second, then suddenly it darkens, over-sharpens, and turns into a grimy mess. That's AI trying too hard. TruePix Camera changes that. It captures what your camera actually sees. Not what an algorithm thinks you meant. No hidden processing. No surprises. It's built for: People who want their photos to feel like memories, not lab experiments. Folks tired of over-processed Instagram shots. Anyone who misses the simplicity of old point-and-shoot cameras. Technical bits: • Supports all iPhone camera lenses (ultra-wide, wide, telephoto) • Focus lock – tap and hold to lock focus • Export as JPEG or HEIF • Location tagging (optional, helps organize your shots) • Saves straight to your Photos library

Professional control. Reliable capture. Kiso is built on the promise this category keeps breaking: the shot you took is the shot you keep, and what you see before you press capture is the truth. Every frame is written to Kiso's own storage before your photo library is asked for anything, and that copy is only released once the library has accepted it. The "saved" checkmark appears at that point, not at the shutter. If a call, a crash, or a thermal shutdown interrupts a capture, the frame is still on disk and Kiso hands it back to you on the next launch. Take intentional photos with direct control over exposure, focus, lens selection, and format. Capture in RAW and ProRAW. Shoot video in ProRes and HEVC with the frame rate and stabilization you chose, not the ones the app decided on. Made for street, travel, portrait, landscape, and low-light photography. No noisy dashboards. No gimmicks. Shooting, saving and recovery are free forever, with no account and no sign-in, and so is timelapse. Kiso Pro adds the monitoring instruments, screen-off recording, ProRes and ProRAW, and lossless export. Just a camera that helps you make the shot you had in mind, and proves it kept it. Kiso Pro is available as a monthly or annual subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple Account and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
