Tired of dropped connections, slow transfers, and clunky companion apps? GR Link solves the biggest frustrations for Ricoh GR photographers with fast, seamless transfers and responsive remote shooting. Supports: GR II, GR III / III HDF, GR IIIx / IIIx HDF, GR IV / IV HDF, and GR IV Monochrome. Pain Point 1: Digging into Wi-Fi settings every single time? [Instant Auto-Connect] Bluetooth LE stays linked in the background and switches to camera Wi-Fi automatically whenever needed. Zero manual network toggling. Pain Point 2: Downloads stopping the second you switch apps? [True Background Transfer + Dynamic Island] Tag photos on your camera and let GR Link handle the rest. Switch apps or lock your screen — downloads continue uninterrupted in the background. Keep tabs on progress via the Dynamic Island and Live Activities. RAW (DNG) and JPEG arrive intact in Apple Photos. Pain Point 3: Selfies and group shots with no flip screen — framing by guesswork? [Live Monitor + Remote Shutter] Your GR has no articulating screen; your iPhone is the monitor. Set the camera down, check your framing in Live View while you're IN the shot, tap to focus, and fire the shutter remotely. Selfies, group photos, and low-angle shots — never shoot blind again. Pain Point 4: Fiddly menus for every exposure change? [Tactile Dial Remote] Dial in shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation with the physical-feel dial — dedicated portrait and landscape layouts. Pain Point 5: Hundreds of shots cluttering your card? [Swipe-to-Cull Triage] Cull your shoots at lightning speed: swipe through cards, swipe up to throw into a safety trash bin (confirm before deleting). Export keepers into quick collages with 12 paper/linen textures and auto-color matching. Pain Point 6: Re-entering Image Control recipes by hand? [Visual Recipe Manager] Create, fine-tune, export, and push recipes directly to your camera. Backed up safely via your personal iCloud container. Pain Point 7: Privacy concerns? [Direct & Zero-Server] Direct peer-to-peer connection. No upload servers, no account required, no ads, and no tracking SDKs. --- Requires iOS 17.2 or later.

你的相册里,有很多珍贵的瞬间。 也有很多截图、重复照片、随手拍下却一直没有整理的内容。 真正困难的,往往不是删除照片,而是面对越来越多的照片时,不知道该从哪里开始。 PowGi 希望让照片整理重新变得简单。 我们把相册整理拆成一组组可以轻松完成的小任务。 打开一组照片,只需要专注于当前这一张: 上滑,舍弃不再需要的照片。 下滑,留下值得保存的回忆。 每一次选择,都由你决定。 你可以随时撤回最近的判断,也可以暂停整理,下次继续。 完成一组后,PowGi 会展示本次整理结果。只有经过你的确认,并接受 Apple Photos 的系统确认后,照片才会进入“最近删除”。 PowGi 不替你决定什么值得留下。 因为真正重要的照片,不应该由算法定义。 它只是帮你减少整理相册时的负担,让你更容易找回那些真正重要的瞬间。 Keep what matters. 留下真正值得留下的。 隐私优先 照片始终保留在你的设备中。 PowGi 不上传你的照片内容;开发者无法查看你的私人相册,也不会进行跨 App 跟踪。 你的照片,只属于你。

The call
