See your eyes like you've never seen them before. EyeShot is a macro iris camera built for stunning close-up eye photography. Smart auto-capture waits for the perfect shot. 20+ AI effects pull out detail, color, and texture you can't see with the naked eye. One tap to go from snapshot to portfolio. SMART AUTO-CAPTURE Position your eye and AI detects focus and captures automatically. Gentle voice guidance walks you through framing. No tap, no timer, no blur — just steady hands and a clear shot. Adjustable crop tightness and front or back camera support. 20+ AI EFFECTS Crystal Clarity sharpens iris detail to razor precision in seconds. Galaxy turns any eye into a cosmic nebula. Recolor changes your eye color in one tap — blue, green, hazel, brown, gray, amber, purple, and more. Drama, Sparkle, and Brighten add cinematic finishing touches. Demon Eye, Remove Glare, and Lash Boost handle creative and corrective edits. Every effect is tuned for different eye colors with live before and after comparison. BUILD YOUR LOOK Stack multiple effects in one tap. Pick your favorites and AI applies them in the perfect order, up to 4 enhancements per photo. Watch live progress as your photo processes. EDITING TOOLS Rotate with precision or snap to 90-degree angles. Zoom from overview to microscopic detail. Signature presets you can save and reuse. Unlimited undo so you can experiment freely. Dark theme designed for low-light editing sessions. YOUR IRIS COLLECTION Every shot saved to your personal gallery. Browse, re-edit, and share anytime. Organized by date so you can track your favorite looks over time. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who wants jaw-dropping close-ups of their eyes for social media. Macro photographers exploring eye portraits. Artists and content creators building unique visual content. Anyone curious to see their own iris in detail. FAIR PRICING Credits auto-refund if an enhancement fails. No subscriptions. Pay only for what you use. PRIVACY Standard capture and editing happen entirely on your device. When you use AI enhancement, your photo is sent for processing and discarded immediately after — never stored, never shared, never used to train anything. A built-in guide walks you through your first capture to advanced workflows. Your eyes are more beautiful than you think. EyeShot helps you prove it.

DepthWeaver turns real-world depth into Magic Eye stereograms. Capture a scene with the LiDAR scanner, generate depth from any photo with on-device AI, scan a real object with Apple's Object Capture, or load a 3D model — then watch a hidden image rise out of the noise as you cross your eyes. CAPTURE DEPTH FIVE WAYS • LiDAR live capture on iPhone Pro — point, freeze, done • On-device AI depth from any photo (Depth Anything V2) • Scan real objects with Apple's Object Capture (Pro devices) — guided orbits turn a real object into a .usdz you can orbit and frame • 3D model import — .usdz, .usd, .obj, .scn with an orbit camera so you choose the angle • Bundled height map and 3D model presets to play with right away PICK A PATTERN • Six procedural generators: random dot, stars, Perlin noise, Worley noise, Voronoi cells, reaction-diffusion • Import any image from your photo library as a custom tile • Built-in texture library TUNE EVERY KNOB • DPI, depth strength, separation, oversampling • Remap input and output depth ranges to push the subject forward or back • Denoise quantized 8-bit imports for clean, banding-free output • Invert depth in one tap • Live preview redraws as you slide PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DepthWeaver at none against EyeShot's 3. DepthWeaver also leads on ads (none vs shown). EyeShot's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
