Coincidence is a camera that meets you where you are: automatic when you want to take a photo, fully manual when you want to make a photo. Point and shoot with real-time auto exposure and focus, or take over completely. Use Exposure Comp for quick brightness changes, or switch to Full Manual for shutter speed, ISO and color temperature dials. Tap to focus with single-shot precision. Exposure Comp is built to behave like the native Camera app, so moving between auto and manual never feels like two different cameras. BUILD YOUR OWN LOOK Most camera apps let you apply someone else's LUT. Coincidence lets you build your own: highlights, shadows, fade, saturation, curves, selective hue and saturation, split toning and color temperature. Then save it as a real .cube file you can rename, share, or drop straight back into your next shot. Add grain, bloom and sharpening on top for texture, and see the whole look live before you press the shutter. Double-tap the viewfinder to flip between two LUTs of your choice. SISTER APP: COLOR PAL Want a look fast? Color Pal turns any photo into a LUT based on its colors. Open that LUT in Coincidence straight from Color Pal and start shooting with it right away. SHOOT WITH INTENT Switch between your iPhone's lenses at their native focal lengths Full-screen false color to judge exposure at a glance Focus peaking that highlights in-focus edges after you tap to focus A Macro button that snaps focus close, and puts it back with a second tap Multiple aspect ratios A built-in level, so horizons stay horizons Volume-button shutter Left, center or right shutter placement, with buttons you can reorder Every capture carries accurate EXIF, with no silent rewrites AN INSTRUMENT, NOT AN APP Cream panels, dial-red accents, monospaced readouts. Coincidence is styled after analogue camera instruments, not modern touchscreen chrome. Controls are built to be read at a glance and adjusted by feel. One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no data collected.
