About

Lightning Catcher

Read full description

A lightning flash lasts milliseconds — far too fast for the shutter button. Lightning Catcher turns the problem around: the camera runs continuously, keeps the last frames in memory, and when the sky lights up, it reaches back in time and saves the moment that already happened. HOW IT WORKS • Put your phone on a tripod and point it at the storm • Arm the trigger; it adapts automatically, or optionally set a fixed sensitivity on the live energy column • The app measures the brightness of every frame — a sudden jump means lightning • Frames from before, during and after the flash are saved, and the highest-contrast frame is marked as your Best Shot FEATURES • Auto calibration: the trigger threshold adapts to your sky and locks in after the first hits • Robust trigger mode for city light and busy scenes • Exposure control with true hardware EV where available • 5–15 frames per strike, saved in order • Gallery with best-shot filter, full-screen viewer, save & share • No account required FREE TO USE Every capture is available in full quality, with no in-app purchases, subscriptions, paywall, or feature lock. Storms don't wait. Be ready before the next one.

See any outfit on your own body before you buy it. Give Vestly two photos of yourself, once. After that, photograph any garment — in a shop, in a catalogue, on a friend — and get back a studio picture of you wearing it, in about half a minute. HOW IT WORKS • Two photos of you, given once: one full body, one of your face • Photograph any garment, or pick a look from the app • Get a photorealistic picture of yourself in it • Keep it, save it to your camera roll, or share it WHAT YOU CAN DO • Try a garment from a shop window before you go in • See a piece you already own put together a different way • Pick a look for an occasion — work, a wedding, a night out • Build a wall of the looks you have made WHAT IT IS, HONESTLY Vestly makes generated pictures, not photographs. A look is a machine's idea of how a garment might sit on you. Fabric, fit, length and colour can differ from reality, and the same request twice will not give the same picture. Treat it as a sketch that helps you decide, never as a fitting or a promise about a product. YOUR PHOTOS Your two photos are stored on our server so your looks can be made, and you can delete them from inside the app at any time, without asking us. The pictures you make are kept on your phone only — the app holds the most recent 100. Upload photos of yourself only.
