Demosaic is a local RAW and image editor for iPhone and iPad. Built around a direct photographic workflow, Demosaic supports both RAW and standard image editing, including: • Exposure, brightness, contrast, and saturation • Tone curves and RGB curves • Highlight recovery and shadow adjustment • Sharpening, denoise, local contrast, and dehaze • White balance and color tools • HSV equalizer and channel mixer • Crop, rotation, perspective, and lens correction • High bit-depth export and wide-gamut workflows For RAW files, Demosaic also provides lower-level sensor and reconstruction tools, including: • Demosaicing controls • RAW black level adjustment • False color suppression • Chromatic aberration correction • Input sharpening • Hot and dead pixel cleanup Supported color spaces include: • sRGB • Display P3 • Adobe RGB • ProPhoto RGB • Rec.2020 All editing is performed locally on-device. Performance Note: Some RAW workflows, including denoise, local tone mapping, and high-quality export, can be demanding on CPU and memory. For a more stable experience, M-series iPads or devices with A17 Pro and newer chips are recommended.
AliceSense
This app captures moments using ambient sound, motion, light, and weather, translating them into unique AI-generated images. Explore four distinct visual styles to create sensory translations of time and space.
- Non-optical ambient camera
- AI-generated imagery
- Four distinct visual recipes (Analog, Shui-mo, Diagram, Infrared)
- Captures sound, motion, light, and weather
- Sensory translation of moments

AliceSense is an experimental, non-optical camera for ambient moments. Instead of relying purely on a lens, it captures a moment through the device's wider sensory state: ambient sound, kinetic motion, light, time, weather, and traces of visual structure. These signals act as a multidimensional exposure, developed into an image through AI. What emerges is not a conventional photograph, but a sensory translation of a specific space in time. Develop your sensory exposures using four distinct visual recipes: • Analog: Anchors the moment in photographic reality, using the room's energy to dictate film grain, halation, and motion blur. • Shui-mo: Translates acoustic and kinetic intensity into expressive, monochromatic brushstrokes and negative space. • Diagram: Renders the moment as a raw, tactile sensory diagram, mapping data through architectural construction lines. • Infrared: Adopts a machine’s perspective, replacing natural colors with intense, data-driven gradients. AliceSense is not trying to replace photography. It is a parallel instrument — a camera for conditions, tensions, and the atmosphere of an invisible moment.
