NTRX Cam is an experimental camera with 150+ real-time effects — not filters, but living visual systems rendered live in the viewfinder. Point the camera and watch the world transform: matrix rain, thermal vision, x-ray looks, glitch and datamosh, prism distortions, pixel worlds, retro screens, and depth-driven 3D geometry that reacts to the space around you. What you see is what you shoot — no editing, no post-production. Create your way: – Shoot video and photos through 160+ live effects – Explore visual worlds: Matrix, Glitch, Thermal, VHS, Pixel Art, X-Ray, Cinematic, and more – Effects react to depth, faces, hands, motion, and sound – Adjust every effect with simple sliders in real time TRUE 3D DEPTH Effects in the Depth and Cyber categories use the LiDAR sensor to see the world in 3D: particles, glyphs, scanner lines, and point clouds that react to distance and shape. LiDAR effects require an iPhone Pro model. RECORD AND SHARE Record clips or capture photos with any effect. Your clips live in the in-app Library — save to Photos or share only when you want to. NTRX PRO All effects can be previewed live for free. NTRX Pro unlocks recording and photo export for the full set. Subscriptions: monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Restore Purchases available. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.

About

strix!

Features
Read full description

strix turns a photo into a stream of colour. Drag across the image and the pixels behind your subject stretch out and melt away, while the subject itself stays sharp. It finds the subject on its own. No masking, no lasso, no cutting it out by hand. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a photo — recent shots appear right inside the app, or take a new one 2. Drag across it. The direction you drag is the direction the pixels flow 3. Share it, or save it to your photos Drag in a straight line, or switch to curve and draw the path yourself. Pull the effect out from both sides at once. Press and hold the eye to check the original at any time. TUNE IT Seven sliders, if you want them: strength, wave, wave cycles, jitter, fade, chromatic aberration, and start offset. Or ignore all of it and just drag. YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS strix has no account, no server, and no analytics. Every pixel is processed on your iPhone's GPU, and subject detection runs on device too. Your photos are never uploaded anywhere. We could not look at them if we wanted to. STRIX PRO strix is free, and shows a full-screen ad when you export your image. strix Pro removes those ads for a single payment. It is not a subscription — buy it once and restore it any time with the same Apple Account.

Verdict
