No one around to take your picture? Want a group photo with nobody left out? Solo traveller, content creator, building your Instagram feed? Tired of handing your phone to strangers? Gobo turns your iPhone into a hands-free photo shoot. Prop the phone up, choose how long to wait and how often to shoot, tap start and walk into frame. Gobo takes photo after photo on its own while you pose, move and try things. No button to press, no phone to hold, no Bluetooth clicker to remember. Frame it before you step in. Place a life-size stand-in in your room โ€” a mannequin, or a cutout of anyone made from a photo โ€” and see exactly where you'll stand before you set the timer. Handing the phone to a friend instead? Snap a guide photo of the framed shot so they can match it. Then pick the best. Every shot lands in Gobo's private gallery. Swipe through, thumbs up the keepers, thumbs down the misses. Only the photos you choose go to your photo library. The rest never clutter it. Real photos, not video frames. Gobo shoots full-quality stills with your iPhone's camera, so every keeper is sharp enough to post. How it works: Set the start delay, the time between photos and how many to take. Or shoot until you stop. Tap start. A big countdown and a shutter flash tell you when each photo fires, readable from across the room. Review, rate, and export only the ones you love. Just need one picture? Photo mode is a plain camera: one tap, one photo. 100 free photos every month. Gobo Pro, a one-time purchase, unlocks unlimited exports without a watermark, forever.
