YOUR MOMENTS, READY TO REVISIT Capture photos and videos without leaving the camera. Muse keeps originals, reference examples and editing drafts in your Works gallery. Organize photos into themes, return to your edits, and create cards with adjustable photo corners. **She asks for one photo. Muse makes sure it's a good one.** Muse draws elegant dashed guidelines right on your camera — where she should stand, where the horizon belongs, where her face fits. Move until the lines rest on her, wait for the dashes to turn green, and shoot. **HOW IT WORKS** • Pick a composition — portraits, travel in Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Europe, shots of him, home, night and outfit looks, couples, fur babies, and family • Align the dashes — they turn green as your subject locks in • All green? Shoot. One tap, done. **WHAT'S INSIDE** • 24 free, scene-independent guides for portraits, close-ups, back views, food, scenery and architecture • Guided 9:16 video with sound; trim the ends, apply a film tone or mute before saving • Live guides that recognize people, cats and dogs — fully on-device • Hand-curated composition templates, each paired with an exemplar photo • An exemplar photo behind every template — tap Compare to overlay it on your viewfinder • Three short tips per template: where to stand, how high to hold, when to zoom • Film-tone filters (Dawn, Fog, Cine, Butter, Noir) — muted, warm, never loud • Rule-of-thirds grid, level indicator with a soft haptic, 4:3 / 1:1 / 16:9 • Import any reference photo — Muse reads its composition and turns it into guides you can save as your own template • Photo cards — frames, background colors, a line of your words and the date, right after the shot **QUIET BY DESIGN** • No account. No subscription. No data collected. • One-time purchase unlocks every curated scene example and Pro filter — future scene packs included. Made for anyone who's ever heard "you press it, I'll pose" — and panicked.
