GridCam vs Compo

GridCam is a cinematic camera app that brings professional composition guides and advanced manual controls to your iPhone. It combines the composition principles used by filmmakers, photographers, and artists for centuries with professional camera controls and real-time film looks in one seamless camera experience. Because a great photograph is created before you press the shutter. COMPOSITION Create stronger compositions with confidence. Use Rule of Thirds, Golden Ratio, Phi Grid, Fibonacci Spiral, Golden Triangle, Symmetry, Vanishing Point, Frame Within a Frame, Leading Lines, and many more composition guides directly on the live camera preview. Save your favorite guides, switch between them with a single swipe, and compose every shot with precision. MANUAL CONTROLS Bring a professional camera experience to your iPhone. • White Balance (Kelvin) • ISO • Shutter Speed • Manual Focus Use Focus Peaking to visualize sharp focus areas. Use Zebra Stripes to instantly identify overexposed highlights. Lock exposure and focus with AE/AF Lock, then freely recompose your shot. Manual settings are preserved when switching between lenses, so your shooting workflow stays uninterrupted. FILM LOOKS See your final image before you take the photo. Color profiles are applied in real time while shooting. Film Grain and Halation effects work independently from color profiles, allowing you to change the look at any time while preserving your original image. RAW SUPPORT Capture photos in unprocessed DNG format whenever you need maximum editing flexibility. Keep your original image intact while applying and changing different color looks whenever you want. ALWAYS READY Launch GridCam instantly with Home Screen widgets and Control Center shortcuts. Keep your most recent photo just one tap away. Terms of Use: https://gridcam.framer.website/terms-of-use Privacy Policy: https://gridcam.framer.website/privacy-policy

Most camera apps hand you a grid. Compo tells you what to do with it. Pick a shot recipe (Golden Hour Backlight, Room to Look, 45° Diner's View) and Compo draws its composition straight onto the live viewfinder: where the subject sits, where the eye travels, and what angle to shoot from. A live angle badge counts your tilt as you move, and turns green the moment you hit the angle the shot was built for. WHAT YOU GET • 32 shot recipes across portrait, food, product, landscape and architecture • Placement guides drawn on the live frame: drag a handle to fit them to your actual subject • Live angle guidance from the gyroscope, with a haptic tap at the target • A four-step checklist on every recipe: light, angle, zoom, placement • The reason each shot works, with a diagram and a finished photograph • Simulated aperture, applied to the photo you saved, not a preview trick • Live Photo capture • An album of what you shot, each frame captioned with the recipe you framed it with YOUR PHOTO IS A PHOTO The overlay is interface, not artwork. Nothing is ever burned into the file: what lands in your library is a full-resolution photograph with the guides gone. FREE TO START Eight recipes, the whole camera, the guides, the angle feedback and the checklists are free, forever. Compo Vol. 1 unlocks the remaining 24 recipes across every category as a single one-time purchase. There is no subscription. Nothing renews, and there is nothing to cancel. Vol. 1 stays unlocked on every device signed in to the same Apple ID. PRIVACY Your camera frames, your photos and your motion readings stay on your device. Compo has no account, no advertising, no analytics SDK and no cross-app tracking. When you open the album, it looks up only the photos it saved itself. Requires an iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Camera access is asked for when you first frame a shot, not at launch, so you can browse every recipe before granting anything.
