Camerae is a capture tool for documenting change, repeating photographic compositions, and revealing details of the night sky. With two specialized workflows — Repeatable and Astro — the app helps you plan, capture, compare, align, and export images while keeping you in control. REPEATABLE Document the same place over hours, days, months, or years. Use a reference image, composition grids, and device sensors to return to the original framing with greater precision. Create photo sequences, timelapses, or videos to follow construction, landscapes, growth, seasonal changes, and creative projects. ASTRO Plan and capture night-sky sequences with controls designed for astrophotography. Organize frames and process results directly on your device. CAPTURE AND ALIGNMENT • Reference image for repeating a composition • Photography grids and visual alignment tools • Orientation and positioning indicators • Camera and exposure controls • Portrait and landscape capture • Translation, rotation, and scale alignment • On-device processing and timelapse creation • Video playback and sharing PRIVACY BY DEFAULT Your projects, photos, videos, and capture information stay on your device.

Record your scroll. One video — and done. Getting scrolling screenshots right is hard: every shot must overlap the last, and one missed strip ruins the whole stitch. So don't take twenty careful screenshots — take one screen recording. Scroll, add the video, and Seam picks the perfect frames and fuses them into a single tall, seamless image. ONE RECORDING, ONE IMAGE Record your screen while you scroll — fast, slow, with pauses, even a rubber-band bounce. Seam reads the video, finds the frames that matter, and stitches the whole page however long it was. No planning, no overlap-guessing, no retakes. STITCHED FOR YOU Seam finds where your shots overlap and joins them pixel-tight. Repeated navigation bars and toolbars are kept exactly once, where they belong — even translucent ones that trip up other apps. SMART BEYOND STITCHING - Picks the right order even if you selected the shots backwards - Removes duplicated side elements like the A–Z index (others leave two) - Feathers every seam so backgrounds flow smoothly instead of jumping - Flags any seam it is less sure about, so you never ship a bad joint A REAL MANUAL MODE Tap any seam to open the seam editor. The live Difference view turns alignment into something you can see: drag until the ghosting goes black and the joint is pixel-perfect. Result mode shows exactly what you'll export — no surprises. THE IMPOSSIBLE SEAM, SOLVED Some screenshots can never match — a live chart that re-drew between shots, a video mid-play. Choose Cut keeps the full top and the full bottom, and you drag one line to decide exactly where they meet. No other stitcher gives you that. EXPORT AND CLEAN UP Save at full resolution or share anywhere. Once your stitch is safely saved, delete the original screenshots in one tap. SEAM PRO — ONE PURCHASE, FOREVER Screenshot stitching is free — and your first two video imports are on us. Seam Pro unlocks unlimited video imports, removes the small watermark from exports, and includes every future Pro feature. One-time purchase. No subscription. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your iPhone. Your screenshots never leave your device. No account, no ads, no tracking. Screenshots, made whole.
