OneShot is the only camera app that captures two perfect shots, edits them like a pro, and strips every hidden metadata tag — in one tap, for one price. *CAMERA* Shoot once. Get two. OneShot's signature dual-orientation capture saves a portrait AND landscape version from every single shutter press. A live Picture-in-Picture preview shows you exactly what the second crop looks like while you're shooting. Works for photos and 4K video. *STUDIO* Professional editing that used to cost a subscription. 16 real adjustment sliders. A four-channel tone curve. Per-hue HSL controls across 8 color ranges. 14 hand-tuned film emulations — Portra 400, Cinestill 800T, Tri-X 400, and more — each with a 0–100% intensity slider. Real crop tools with platform-specific presets. *PREP* Every photo you share leaks where you were, what phone you have, and when you took it. OneShot shows you a privacy risk score for each photo, color-codes the exact tags that put you at risk, then strips them clean and resizes for any of 18 platforms — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Print, and more. *Zero subscriptions. Zero data collection. Zero cloud. Everything runs on your device.*
