Glowdex is a precise, intuitive light meter designed for photographers. Measure reflected or incident light, calculate exposure combinations, and quickly find suitable aperture and shutter speed settings for your selected ISO and stop increment. With AI Analysis, Glowdex turns measurement data into clear, practical guidance: In Reflected Light mode, AI considers both the measured values and the captured scene. In Incident Light mode, AI analyzes readings collected through the diffuser—no scene image is sent. Each report provides a concise summary and subjective optimization suggestions that account for real-world lighting, subject tone, dynamic range, and creative intent. Measurements provide a reliable baseline. Glowdex helps you interpret that baseline and adapt it to the photograph you want to create.

Ever wonder exactly where you’re flying, or what the cabin pressure altitude is at 35,000 feet, but there is no inflight WiFi? Whether you are a frequent flyer, an aviation nerd, or just a curious passenger, this app brings offline-first flight information right to your window seat. Using your device's built-in GPS and barometer, you get real-time flight telemetry—completely offline, with no expensive airline Wi-Fi required. Key Features: - Offline Flight Computer: Enter your origin and destination airports to track your exact flight progress, distance to destination, and estimated time remaining (approximate). - Offline Maps: Watch your plane's real-time position on a detailed map that works with GPS signal only. - Cabin Pressure Analysis: Monitor the aircraft's pressurization in real-time. See the actual cabin altitude and vertical speed (climb/descent rate) using your phone's highly sensitive barometer. - Advanced GPS Telemetry: Get live readouts of your true ground speed, GPS altitude, heading, and GPS vertical rate. - Interactive Charts: Visualize your flight profile with real-time graphs comparing your cabin pressure altitude to your true GPS altitude. - Customizable Units: Easily toggle between Knots, mph, km/h, Feet, Meters, inHg, hPa, and more. Note: This app relies on your device's internal pressure sensor and GPS receiver. A window seat with a clear line of sight to the sky is essential for a GPS lock, hence the name (: WARNING: This application is designed exclusively for passengers for educational and recreational purposes. It is NOT a certified flight instrument. It must NEVER be used for real-world navigation, altitude monitoring, or flight planning. You must obey all applicable laws, regulations, and crew member instructions. Terms: https://pxatech.com/window-seat-gps/
