Stillwell is a camera that hands you the exposures other apps hide behind a button. Long exposures, star fields, star trails, focus stacking, time-lapses and library stacking all run on the device, and what you get is RAW and HEIF — not a filter pasted on top. · Capture — ProRAW, Bayer RAW or HEIF, fully manual exposure. On variable-aperture iPhones, aperture, shutter and ISO can each be set to auto. Video records in Apple Log. · Dual camera — shoot with front and back, or two back lenses, together; save them separately or as picture-in-picture or split screen. · Viewfinder aids — live histogram, waveform, zebra and false color, read from the RAW or Log negative and never burned into the file. · Landscape — long exposure, stars, star trails, focus stacking and time-lapse. Both capture and processing can be cancelled at any point. · Filters — the glass in front of the lens (mist, star and streak filters), film, LUTs, a colour palette and texture, all set before you press the shutter. · Render — instant film, disposable, CCD and Classic CC looks, with colour and tone controls. Paper and frame are optional. · Editing — what's saved is a recipe, not pixels; the original file is never touched. Exposure, four-channel curves and LUTs. · Library — mean, maximum and star stacking, time-lapse video and star-trail accumulation. · Metadata — write author, copyright, contact and usage terms straight into photos and videos. — About Stillwell Pro — Seven modes, including long exposure, focus stacking, library stacking and time-lapse stacking, each come with 3 free full renders that never expire. Lens filters and the colour palette work live in the viewfinder without Pro; unlocking lets them into your photos. Everything else is free. · Stillwell Pro Annual — auto-renewing yearly subscription · Stillwell Pro Lifetime — a one-time purchase, never renews · Stillwell Pro 30-Day Pass — 30 days, does not auto-renew Prices for your region are shown in the app before you buy. The annual subscription is charged and renewed within 24 hours before the end of each period unless auto-renew is turned off before then. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings after purchase.
