Just So Camera

Just So is a camera that teaches you composition while you shoot. FOOD • Take one photo of the table. Just So recognizes the main dish, the sides and the drinks. • Dashed outlines show where each item should go for a triangle, diagonal, rule-of-thirds or centered layout. • Move one thing at a time with step-by-step guides, then take the shot. PORTRAITS • Line up the head with the circle and the feet with the line. • Live hints tell you to step back, turn the phone or tilt it up, so feet never get cut off. • When everything lines up, the guide turns green. That's when it's just so. PRIVACY • No account, no ads. • Food photos are sent to Google's Gemini (through Firebase) only to plan the layout. • If you choose to help improve the app, food analyses are shared anonymously. Off by default. • Portrait framing runs entirely on your iPhone. Portraits are never uploaded. Your photos are saved to your photo library, ready to share. Food layouts need an internet connection.
