About

Always Cam

Read full description

Always Cam features an always-on viewfinder, even while reviewing a photo, so you never miss a moment. Instead of pinch to zoom, one-touch anywhere on the photo for a 100% view, handy for checking blur, etc. Framing with a small viewfinder actually helps with composition, so your shots will look more professional.

About

Fexer

Read full description

Fexer is a professional manual camera for iPhone โ€” the controls of a dedicated camera, real-time color grading, and cinematic shooting modes, all in your pocket. MANUAL CONTROLS โ€ข ISO (25โ€“6400), shutter speed (1/8000โ€“30s), and manual focus, each with an auto toggle โ€ข White balance in Kelvin (3200โ€“7500K) plus tint, with 7 presets โ€ข AE lock, four metering modes, and an EV compensation strip SHOOTING MODES โ€ข Photo โ€” AEB bracketing, RAW / RAW+JPEG, LUT baked at capture โ€ข Video โ€” 1080p/4K in HEVC, H.264, or ProRes, with GPS metadata โ€ข Long Exposure โ€” multi-frame blending up to 60 frames โ€ข Burst, Self-Timer, and Timelapse โ€ข Anamorphic โ€” 2x horizontal desqueeze with a 2.39:1 crop guide โ€ข Night and Portrait modes REAL-TIME COLOR GRADING 21 film-inspired looks across Film, Genre, and Mood categories โ€” applied live in the viewfinder and baked into every capture. Includes classic film emulations like Portra 400, Tri-X, and Velvia alongside cinematic and moody grades. VIEWFINDER TOOLS Grid overlays, RGB/Luma/Parade histogram, waveform monitor, vectorscope, focus peaking, zebra stripes, false color, and an electronic level โ€” the same tools you'd expect from a dedicated cinema camera, live in your viewfinder. NON-DESTRUCTIVE EDITING Adjust exposure, contrast, shadows, highlights, saturation, vibrance, warmth, sharpness, vignette, crop, and rotation after the fact โ€” your original capture is never touched. Fexer collects no data, has no ads, and makes no network requests. Everything happens on your device. Requires a physical iPhone โ€” the camera does not work in the Simulator.
