MELPI
Read full descriptionHide full description
MELPI is a guided camera that connects two iPhones so you can shoot photos together. The shooter follows composition guides while shooting. The person being photographed compares the guide with each incoming photo in real time and sends requests on the spot — no posing skills needed to get photos you love. Photos taken by someone else, as flattering as your selfies — a new kind of camera. ■ Guided camera - Tons of cute composition inspiration. Save your favorites and make them yours. - Overlay the example photo on your viewfinder and trace the same composition. - Burst up to 10 shots so you never miss the best moment. ■ Live session - Pair two iPhones with a QR code or a 6-digit code. Your partner can join as a guest, no account needed. - Every photo appears on your partner's screen the moment it's taken. - Send reactions and composition requests back to the shooter. - Photos transfer directly between devices — nothing is uploaded to a server. - Session photos are temporary: they disappear from your partner's screen when the session ends, and only saved photos remain. ■ Album - Your shots, organized by date. ■ MELPI Pro - Subscription with a 3-day free trial. - The camera stays free to use (saved photos include a small MELPI logo). It works offline too — in the mountains, at the beach, at a concert. Wherever the two of you are becomes your photo studio.
