Too many photos, too little time? Orriva finds the keepers from a burst, plans the light before you shoot, and develops your RAWs — completely offline, right on your device. THE KEEPER FINDER — FREE Import a burst of similar shots and Orriva suggests the sharpest one in each series. Double-tap to zoom to 100% and check the eyes yourself — the app only suggests, you decide. It never deletes anything on its own. PLAN THE LIGHT — FREE Blue hour and golden hour countdown, sunrise and sunset with compass bearings so you know where to stand, moon phase and local weather. The Horizont home-screen widget keeps it one glance away. CALCULATORS — FREE ND filter exposure times, hyperfocal distance, and the 500/NPF rule for night skies. PHOTO EDITOR (Pro) Looks with an adjustable strength slider, crop to popular ratios (1:1, 3:2, 4:5, 16:9), straighten the horizon, one-tap Auto, plus brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpening. Watermark, EXIF viewer, before/after compare and on-device face tools included. RAW DEVELOPING (Pro — first 5 free) Open RAW files from Sony, Canon, Nikon and more (ARW, CR3, NEF, DNG). Dial in exposure, white balance, noise reduction and sharpening by hand, guided by a live histogram. Your first five developments are free, so you can check your files come out right before you pay. MANUAL CAMERA & BATCH RESIZE (Pro) Full control over shutter speed, ISO and focus. Resize and watermark a whole shoot in one go. DESIGNED FOR IPHONE AND IPAD On iPad the editor, the keeper finder and RAW developing use the whole screen — library on the left, photo in the middle, controls on the right. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Orriva works fully offline. Your photos never leave your device — no accounts, no ads, no tracking, nothing uploaded. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

Other apps tell you when the sun rises. This one tells you whether you'll see it. Astrian Light knows the real terrain where you're going to shoot —the ridge, the building, the hill in front of you— and tells you when the sun actually clears it. Not when it rises on a flat horizon that doesn't exist. WHAT IT ANSWERS · When the good light starts at your spot, and when the terrain takes it away. · Where the sun rises and sets, right on the map. · How many hours of dark sky the Moon leaves you tonight, measured against your horizon. · When the Milky Way core rises, and which is the next moonless night. · What the eclipse will look like from where you'll be, when, and how long totality lasts. ECLIPSES, ALWAYS FREE On August 2, 2027, a total solar eclipse crosses Spain. The map of every eclipse, how much of the sun is covered from any point, the timeline to the second, and whether your horizon lets you see it. No subscription, now or ever. YOUR GEAR, BUILT IN Over 600 lenses and 230 cameras in the catalog; if yours isn't there, type it in. From then on, the ten calculators speak your gear: exposure without star trails, hyperfocal, depth of field, field of view, filters, timelapse. And "Your frame" shows how the shot will look in your camera before you go. THE SKY, RIGHT NOW Point your iPhone at the sky and augmented reality tells you what you're looking at: planets, constellations, the space station, deep sky. PLAN BEFORE YOU LEAVE Compare several destinations and several nights at once. Save plans with their place, their date and the gear you're taking. And bring the verdict with you: the calculations work without signal. YOUR WAY Buttons with symbol and name, or name only. Light and dark themes. Times in your iPhone's format. In English, Spanish and Portuguese, on iPhone and iPad. WHAT IT WON'T DO It doesn't make data up. When it doesn't know, it says so: if there's no measured terrain for your point, it tells you the figure is for a flat horizon. If the forecast doesn't reach, it won't invent one. SUBSCRIPTION Astrian Light is free for eclipses and for today's sky where you are. Everything else —any date, any place, the whole sky, all your gear— needs the yearly subscription. It renews until you cancel, and you cancel from your Apple account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
