Hackshot is a "tracing camera" for photographers — it overlays classic composition templates onto your camera viewfinder so you can frame your shot by following the lines. Whether you just picked up your phone and want better-looking photos, or you're a serious photographer brushing up on fundamentals, Hackshot gives you a clear reference before you press the shutter. KEY FEATURES • 12+ classic composition templates: Golden Spiral, Rule of Thirds, Diagonal, Leading Lines, Symmetry, Frame Within Frame, Negative Space, S-Curve, Triangle, Center… growing toward 40+ • Real-time viewfinder overlay — what you see is what you shoot • ZoomArc control — drag a single arc to scale the template smoothly to any composition • Customizable mask — adjust opacity, color, and line weight • Minimal 5-button dock — templates, mask, shutter, gallery, settings • Portrait-specific guides: gaze room, headroom, joint cropping, and more WHY "TRACING" Like the practice books children use to learn handwriting — you place the template under the paper and trace. Hackshot puts that same simple learning method into your camera: see the template, adjust the frame, take the shot. Over time, composition becomes muscle memory.
