Honne vs ScopeKit

Your iPhone sensor captures incredible data. Apple just never lets you have it. Every photo you take on iPhone passes through Apple's computational photography pipeline — noise reduction, sharpening, tone mapping, Smart HDR — before you ever see it. Even Apple ProRAW bakes in computational processing. By the time you open the file in Lightroom, the decisions have already been made for you. honne bypasses all of it. honne captures true Bayer RAW DNG files — the same unprocessed sensor data you get from a Canon, Sony, or Nikon. No noise reduction. No sharpening. No computational adjustments. Just the raw Bayer mosaic straight off the sensor, saved as an industry-standard DNG that opens natively in Lightroom, Capture One, Photoshop, Darktable, and every other RAW editor. This is the file your sensor actually captured. This is what your iPhone can really do. WHY TRUE BAYER RAW MATTERS ProRAW is not RAW. It is a processed file with more editing headroom than JPEG, but Apple's computational pipeline has already made tonal and color decisions you cannot fully undo. True Bayer RAW gives you: - Maximum dynamic range for highlight and shadow recovery - Clean, unbiased color data for accurate white balance in post - Full control over noise reduction decisions - Smaller file sizes than ProRAW (typically 20-30MB vs 50-75MB) - Universal DNG compatibility: no Apple-specific processing embedded If you shoot RAW on your mirrorless camera because you want control over the final image, you should demand the same from your iPhone. FULL MANUAL CONTROLS Shoot the way you think. honne gives you direct access to the exposure triangle and beyond: - Shutter Speed: Full manual control for motion blur or freezing action - ISO: Set sensor sensitivity precisely - White Balance: Choose your color temperature, or set it in post from true RAW data - Exposure Compensation: Quick EV adjustments when you need speed over full manual - Histogram: Real-time exposure feedback so you expose to the right without blowing highlights - Level Indicator: Keep your horizons straight without guessing - Grid Overlay: Rule of thirds composition guide EVERY LENS, TRUE RAW honne detects every real lens on your iPhone and gives you RAW from each one — no digital zoom, no cropping, just the actual hardware. - Ultra-wide (0.5x): architecture, landscapes, environmental shots - Wide (1x): your main lens, the best sensor on the phone - Telephoto (Pro models): portraits, compression, reach Switch lenses without leaving manual mode. Your exposure settings carry over. OUTPUT YOUR WAY - DNG only: Pure RAW files for the smallest footprint - RAW+JPEG: Keep a processed preview alongside your RAW for quick sharing - All files saved to a dedicated honne album in your Photos library BUILT FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS, NOT FILTERS honne has no presets, no AI enhancements, no "improve" button. It is a capture tool that respects your editing workflow. The app does one thing: get the best possible unprocessed data off the sensor and into a standard file format, without getting in your way. The UI is dark, clean, and professional. Self-timer (3s/10s), flash control, and aspect ratio selection (4:3, 16:9, 1:1) are all there when you need them. NO SUBSCRIPTION $9.99 once. That is it. No monthly fees, no yearly renewals, no feature gating, no "pro" tier. Every feature, every update, forever. honne (本音) means "real intention" in Japanese: what something really is, beneath the surface. Your iPhone sensor captures more than Apple lets you see. honne lets you see it.

ScopeKit turns iPhone into a professional field toolkit for imaging and measurement. Whether you need to check distance before a shot, visualize depth information, or save ProRAW files directly to Photos or external storage, ScopeKit brings these capabilities together in a clear, focused interface that is ready when you are. Key Features Apple ProRAW Capture Manually control ISO, shutter speed, focus, and white balance. Save ProRAW DNG files to Photos or external storage for smoother field capture and post-production workflows. LiDAR Center Measurement Read distance from the center point of the frame, with modes for distance, height, and speed to make on-site judgment faster and more intuitive. Depth Preview and Color Mapping Convert depth data into a readable color image. Customize near, mid, and far colors, and save the current depth frame for review and reference. Simultaneous Front and Back Recording Use the front and back cameras in the same session, and manage preview layout, codec settings, and file-saving behavior. Photos and external storage are both supported. Quick Launch with Camera Control Supports Camera Control for faster access to the mode you use most. Designed for Field Work Reduce switching and repeated steps while shooting, measuring, scouting, and documenting. ScopeKit organizes multiple system-level capabilities into a more efficient workflow. Please note: Some features require supported iPhone models, camera hardware, or system capabilities, including Apple ProRAW, LiDAR, depth data, and Camera Control. Feature availability varies by device.
