SuperSimpleMirror is a private offline front-camera mirror and lightweight selfie filter app designed for fast, everyday checks. Open the app, allow camera access, and use your iPhone as a clean full-screen mirror. There is no account creation, login flow, social feed, or cloud upload. SuperSimpleMirror focuses on the tools you actually need when checking your appearance, previewing a selfie, or making a quick local photo. KEY FEATURES • Fast front-camera mirror Launch the app and view the front camera as a full-screen mirror. The interface is intentionally simple, so you can check your appearance without navigating through unnecessary menus. • Natural real-time filters Choose from the original view and a range of film, monochrome, vivid, instant, and vintage-inspired looks. Filters adjust color and atmosphere in real time without turning the app into a social network or complicated photo editor. • Adjustable filter intensity Reduce a filter for a subtle result or increase it for a stronger visual style. You stay in control of how much of the effect is applied. • Brightness control Increase the visible brightness when the room or your face appears too dark. On devices without a usable front torch, the app can provide a screen-light effect. • Zoom control Zoom in when you need to inspect small details such as makeup, hair, glasses, contact lenses, accessories, or your selfie framing. • Freeze the mirror view Pause the current mirror image when you want to inspect a detail without keeping the camera view in motion. • Horizontal and vertical flipping Switch between a familiar mirror-style view and alternative orientations when you need to compare how the camera image will appear. • Save photos locally Photo-library permission is requested only when you choose to save. The current filtered and flipped photo can be saved directly to the photo library on your device. BUILT FOR PRIVACY SuperSimpleMirror does not require an account or login. It does not include an advertising SDK, analytics SDK, social feed, or developer-operated cloud photo storage. Live camera processing and filter effects are performed on the device. Photos are not uploaded to an external server or cloud service. For convenience, the app may store settings such as the selected filter, filter intensity, brightness, zoom level, and mirror orientation locally on the device. These local preferences are not sent to a server. PERMISSIONS • Camera: Used to provide the live front-camera mirror and real-time filters. • Add to Photos: Used only when you choose to save a captured mirror photo to your device. You can change these permissions at any time in iOS Settings. USE SUPERSIMPLEMIRROR FOR • A quick appearance check before work, school, meetings, or going out • Makeup, hair, shaving, glasses, and accessory checks • Previewing selfie filters, lighting, and framing • Inspecting small details with zoom and freeze view • Using a mirror without an internet connection • Avoiding accounts, feeds, ads, and cloud photo uploads SuperSimpleMirror is intentionally focused.
