Aperic vs LibreCam

Aperic is a pro-grade camera for iPhone, built for the moments where the default Camera app gives up. — THREE DAYS FREE — Every new download unlocks the full Pro feature set for three days, no card required. Keep what you love after the trial with Monthly ($4.99) or Yearly ($39.99). — MANUAL EVERYTHING — Lock ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and focus to exactly where you want them. Live, on-screen readouts. Smooth amber sliders that never fight you. A single Done button to bring it all back to auto. — PRORES, LOG, MULTI-CAM — Shoot ProRes for grading-grade footage. Apple Log and HLG for HDR delivery. Record from multiple lenses at once (where supported) so you never miss a reverse angle. SDR, P3, and ProRes 422 / 422 HQ / 422 LT in the same picker. — BUILT FOR COMPOSING — A real cinema viewfinder: live histogram, RGB or luma, with red-channel clipping. Rule-of-thirds, golden, and 4x4 grids. Optional level horizon. Focus peaking in yellow, red, green, blue, or magenta. Zebras with adjustable IRE. Aspect-ratio frames from 16:9 to 1:1. — LENS PICKER FOR PRO iPhones — 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x chips on the left edge. Real zoom factors that match what your lenses actually shoot — no marketing math. Pinch to zoom freely between them. — CLEAN COMPOSING MODE — One tap on the eye toggle next to the gear hides every chip, slider, and button on screen — leaving only the shutter, mode picker, camera flip, gear, and the toggle itself. Frame your shot like you would through a real viewfinder. Tap again to bring it all back. — FAST. FOCUSED. — No accounts. No analytics. No ads. Your captures stay on your device. The app's job is to get out of your way and let you shoot. — SUBSCRIPTION TERMS — Aperic Pro auto-renews at the end of each billing period until cancelled. You can cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions; cancellations take effect at the end of the current period. Your free 3-day trial is applied automatically on first download and doesn't renew — it simply lets you use every Pro feature before you decide.

LibreCam is a manual RAW camera for iPhone that captures what the sensor sees, and nothing more. Shoot true Bayer DNGs, single-frame HEIFs, or both at once, with no fusion, no aggressive processing, no account, no tracking and no subscription. The stock camera applies Smart HDR, Deep Fusion, noise reduction, sharpening and tone mapping to every shot. LibreCam turns off everything that can be turned off, and is honest about what cannot. DNG: the true Bayer sensor readout. No fusion, no noise reduction, no tone mapping, no distortion correction. One frame, exactly as the sensor read it. HEIF: a single frame developed by the hardware ISP. No fusion, no HDR, no semantic tricks. LOOKS: nine fixed color recipes, applied to the HEIF as you shoot. Build your own with dials in the Look Editor, and import or export standard .cube files. The DNG is never touched. PRINT: share a shot as a framed print. Ink or paper matte, and a label with the exposure, camera, date, place and your name, set like a museum caption. A copy made for sharing; the photo itself stays as it is. LIBRECAM PRO: one purchase, no subscription, and only two things are paid: the Look Editor for your own recipes, and the Apple Watch remote. Everything else is free. FEATURES - Every physical lens on your iPhone. No digital zoom, ever. - The front camera too, with mirrored or true-to-sensor selfies. - An Apple Watch remote: shutter, readouts, framing assist. (LibreCam Pro) - Manual focus, shutter, ISO, exposure bias and white balance. Everything is automatic until touched. - Focus peaking: the sharpest edges glow amber while you focus. - Level: a horizon line that reports the tilt your photo will actually have. It never straightens anything. - Histogram: all three channels live on the glass, with marks for which one is clipping, and at which end. - Nine looks free; build your own with LibreCam Pro. - Print: a framed, captioned copy of any shot, ready to share. - Frame lock: 9:16, 2:3, 4:5 or 1:1 on the glass, the developed copy cropped to match. The DNG keeps the full frame. - Flash: off, auto or on. On auto, the bolt turns amber only when the scene will fire it. - Aperture on iPhone 18 Pro: f/1.48 to f/4 on the 24 mm lens in thirds of a stop, one tap each. Automatic until touched. - Shutter priority and ISO priority metering. - Hardware shutter on the volume buttons. No shutter sound. - Add-only Photos access. No account, no tracking. - Optional location tagging, written into the photo on your device. A camera, not a computer.
