ElectroSpotmatic vs SnapLapse

ElectroSpotmatic turns your iPhone and iPad into a manual camera with a computational darkroom attached. Real rotary controls for ISO, focus, and exposure sit under your thumb; desktop-class stacking algorithms run on the photos you take with them. Nothing leaves your device. MANUAL CONTROLS THAT FIT YOUR HAND ISO, focus, and exposure live on rotary dials placed where your fingers already are — precise, one-handed, with haptic feedback and live readout. Mirror the whole interface for left- or right-handed shooting in a single tap. On iPad, the whole interface rotates with the device and fits any window. It’s manual photography reimagined for a touchscreen, not a mode screen bolted onto an auto camera. COMPUTATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY, ON DEVICE Capture a sequence and let the phone do the work: Focus Stacking — Merge frames shot at different focus distances into one edge-to-edge sharp photo, with automatic focus-breathing compensation. Built for macro, product, and close-up work. Natural & Vibrant HDR — Two takes on dynamic range. Natural preserves realistic tonality; Vibrant delivers punchier results with stronger local contrast. Both merge true exposure brackets, not a single frame pushed twice. Long Exposure Simulation — Silky water, light trails, and cloud motion without carrying an ND filter, by intelligently averaging a burst. Motion Removal — Statistically filter moving subjects out of a sequence to clear tourists and traffic from an architectural shot. Motion Blur — Deliberate motion blur from a short burst, with motion-aware masking that keeps static elements sharp. Exposure Bracketing — Capture a proper bracket set for HDR, or for merging later on the desktop. Every sequence is aligned first, with multiple alignment engines and a quality gate that rejects a warp it can’t verify — so camera shake between frames doesn’t become a soft result. A REAL RAW WORKFLOW Capture in the format your workflow expects: • DNG (RAW) — unprocessed sensor data • ProRAW — RAW with computational benefits (iPhone 12 Pro and later) • HEIF / JPEG / TIFF — processed, with computational enhancements • Content Credentials — C2PA provenance for authenticity tracking SEE IT BEFORE YOU SHOOT • Face-Driven Autofocus — the camera’s own face detection steers focus and exposure; tap to take over • Focus Peaking — sharp areas highlighted live • Live Histogram — exposure distribution as you frame • Composition Grid — rule-of-thirds and grid overlays • Black & White Preview — see in monochrome before you commit GPU-ACCELERATED, ENTIRELY LOCAL A Metal pipeline does the heavy lifting: wavelet-based focus stacking, 8-DOF homography alignment, motion-aware processing, and real-time rendering all run on your device’s GPU. Results in seconds, not minutes — and no cloud upload, ever. ALWAYS ONE TAP AWAY Launch straight from the Lock Screen or Control Center when the moment won’t wait — with tap to focus and Camera Control support built in. WHO IT’S FOR Photographers who miss having actual controls, macro shooters who need depth of field a single frame can’t give them, and anyone who wants their phone’s processing power aimed at their own decisions instead of someone else’s automatic ones.

Track progress photos, compare before and after, and see the changes you miss day to day. SnapLapse keeps your photos, notes and milestones together in a private photo journal. Document your baby's growth, a fitness transformation, skincare progress, a growing plant, a home renovation or a creative project. Give each story a Journey and watch small changes add up. Take a photo or import from your library. Use your previous photo as a camera guide to help match the framing each time. You can also import up to 20 photos at once and review their dates before adding them. Make every Update meaningful with notes and milestones. Browse your photos in a timeline, focus on milestones, or search Journey names, notes and tags to find a moment again. Compare any two Updates with an interactive before and after slider. Move the divider to reveal the changes, or open the comparison full screen for a closer look. Build a habit that fits your story. Set a photo reminder for each Journey and choose your preferred time and frequency, whether you're capturing daily changes or checking in less often. Share the moments that show your progress. Create a Collage or a vertical or horizontal Stitch with date and day captions. With SnapLapse Pro, turn your photos into a timelapse slideshow as an MP4 video or animated GIF. No account required. Your Journeys and photos are stored on your device. SnapLapse Pro lets you create an iCloud backup in your personal iCloud storage whenever you choose. Start with one free Journey, including photo reminders, notes, milestones, before and after comparison, and Collage and Stitch exports with up to nine photos. SnapLapse Pro unlocks unlimited Journeys, Collage and Stitch exports with up to 20 photos, MP4 and GIF slideshows, and iCloud backup. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or a lifetime purchase.
