Aim is the reference camera built for anyone who's ever said: "I saw this shot in my head — but I couldn't quite take it." Overlay any reference photo onto your viewfinder. See the composition before you press the shutter. Stream your live viewfinder to your subject so they see exactly what you see, and adjust their pose in real time. KEY FEATURES • Reference Overlay — Pin any photo as a translucent guide on your camera. Frame, align, capture exactly right. • Live Stream Director — Send your viewfinder to your subject's phone over local Wi-Fi (no internet needed). They see themselves through your eyes and self-correct in seconds. • Pro Camera Tools — Independent focus and exposure control, level indicator, framing grid, aspect ratio presets. • Project Organization — Group related shoots into projects. Curate your references. Export complete project bundles. • Bulk Sharing — Share entire reference sets via QR or Universal Link. • Sign in with Apple, Google, or Email — secure, fast, your choice. • Built for iPhone, designed for iPhone Pro — leverages the latest camera APIs for precision shooting. WHY AIM Photographers, artists, illustrators, and creators all share the same frustration: a perfect reference image in mind, and a real-world shot that never quite matches. Aim closes that gap. It turns the picture in your head into the picture on your camera roll — exactly right. Whether you're matching a Pinterest pose, recreating a classic photograph for study, framing a portrait of a loved one, or directing a model in studio, Aim is the tool that finally makes "exactly right" possible. UPGRADE TO UNLIMITED Free version includes core overlay and basic camera tools. Aim Unlimited unlocks: unlimited projects, full Stream feature, project export, advanced reference tools, and ongoing Pro updates.

"I don't have to explain the photo I want anymore." You know the photo you want. You found it — a travel pose, an outfit shot, a couple picture. But when you hand your phone to a friend (or your partner), you get… something else. Posey fixes that. Save the photo you want to recreate, and Posey overlays it — semi-transparent — right on the live camera. Whoever's holding your phone just lines up the ghost image and taps the shutter. Same angle. Same crop. Same vibe. HOW IT WORKS • Save your shot ideas — import from your photo library, crop to frame • Tap Match — your reference floats over the live camera • The frame auto-matches your reference's aspect ratio (4:5, 1:1, 9:16 and more) • One control: overlay opacity. No zoom, no fiddling, never technical • Shoot, then drag to compare your photo against the reference • Save straight to your photo library — Photo, Live Photo, or Video BUILT FOR • Travel photos that look like the ones that inspired the trip • Outfit shots and mirror pics with consistent framing • Couples — finally, a fair trade for taking their photos • Content creators keeping a series visually consistent PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. No analytics. Your references and photos stay on your device — and sync privately through your own iCloud if you want them on all your devices.
