You already have one of the most advanced cameras on earth in your pocket. So why does all that depth disappear the moment you tap the shutter? Every iPhone since the 11 Pro ships with multiple lenses — wide, ultra-wide, telephoto — each one engineered to see the world differently. Open the stock Camera app and take a photo, though, and only one of those lenses ever fires. The rest sit idle, every single time you tap the shutter. The result? Photos that look close, but never quite like the moment you were actually standing in. ComeCloser changes that. Instead of locking you into a single lens, ComeCloser runs a live multi-lens capture session — wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto all active at once. Depth and motion data flow in alongside the image in real time, letting the app understand the actual geometry of the scene you're shooting: how close your subject is, how the background sits behind it, where the natural depth of the room or landscape begins and ends. The result isn't a filter or a stitched composite. It's a photo that holds onto the proportions and depth your eyes actually perceived — the spatial feel of being there — rather than the stretch or compression a single fixed lens introduces depending on how far you were standing. FOREGROUND DEPTH Set your distance, and ComeCloser handles the rest. Using your iPhone's depth sensor, ComeCloser lets you define how far into the scene your foreground extends — giving you intuitive control over what the camera treats as close versus far, without needing to think about focal lengths or aperture settings. Point, set, shoot. The depth takes care of itself. FULLY ON-DEVICE Everything processes locally on your iPhone, frame by frame, using Apple's Metal framework. No cloud upload. No waiting. No quality loss from re-compression. Your photos stay on your phone and process as fast as you shoot. WHAT YOU GET — Multi-lens capture from your iPhone's wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses simultaneously — Real-time depth sensing that understands the geometry of your scene — Foreground Depth control: set your reach, ComeCloser does the rest — On-device processing — private, fast, and works anywhere — Photos that look like you were actually there If you've ever looked back at a photo and felt like something was missing — the way the room felt, how close that person actually was, the sense of depth in the scene — ComeCloser was built for that exact feeling. Your iPhone's camera has always been capable of this. ComeCloser is what unlocks it.

The app is designed for a simple mobile workflow: - Import videos from Photos or Files - Convert native iPhone Apple Log footage to Rec.709 - Preview Before and After inside the app - Add film LUT styles with adjustable strength - Fine tune contrast, saturation, highlight/shadow balance, warm/tint, and sharpness - Save up to three edit presets - Export the final video locally to Camera Roll CineLog Rec709 supports common social and cinematic video shapes, including 9:16, 16:9, and 1:1.
