OneClickCamera
Read full descriptionHide full description
OneClickCamera is the camera app for people who want cinematic footage without a cockpit of settings. Press record. The app shoots Apple Log (on supported iPhones) with the 180° shutter rule handled automatically, locks exposure and white balance for the take, and shows you the image through a real monitoring LUT. What you see already looks like the film you're making. Need to say something to camera? Switch on the teleprompter. Your script sits over the selfie camera, transparent enough to see yourself, and scrolls along as you speak. Pause, and it waits. It keeps working while you record. Then grade the clip right in the app: your footage gets the OneClickLUT look, and five simple sliders (warmth, tint, saturation, midtones, highlights) are all you need to make it yours. Want more control? Open Pro mode and grade with full color wheels: Global, Midtones, Shadows, Highlights, each with saturation and brightness wings, applied on the log image under the LUT, exactly like a professional color pipeline. Or tap Auto and let the app measure the clip and move the dials for you. WHY IT LOOKS RIGHT ⢠Apple Log capture in HEVC 10-bit (Rec.709 on other models, and it just works) ⢠Automatic 180° shutter for natural motion blur, with a smart low-light ladder ⢠Exposure and white balance lock on record, with one-tap unlock ⢠A real monitoring LUT in the viewfinder, not a guess ⢠Lens changes handled like the built-in camera, also while recording WHY IT'S FAST ⢠Zebras, grid and level always on, each with its own strength slider, zero setup ⢠Press and hold to lock focus, lock the lens for a take, swipe down for a clean viewfinder ⢠Quality zoom stops (0.5/1/2/4/8 on supported iPhones): tap, don't fiddle ⢠Plug in a microphone and the app switches to it by itself THE TELEPROMPTER ⢠Your script over the selfie camera, with adjustable transparency, text size and speed ⢠Voice-follow scrolls at your reading pace and waits when you pause ⢠Several scripts, kept on your phone THE GRADE ⢠One look, done: OneClickLUT applied at full strength, always last in the chain ⢠Five sliders for taste, color wheels for control, both combine ⢠Auto grade measures the clip and suggests a starting point ⢠Grade footage from other cameras too: DJI, GoPro, Insta360, Sony, Panasonic, Canon, Nikon and Fujifilm log, or import your own .cube LUTs ⢠Fullscreen check: rotate your phone, judge your colors edge to edge PRO WHEN YOU NEED IT ⢠Manual mode: ISO, shutter angle, white balance, tint and focus, Blackmagic-style, each with its own A to hand it back to auto ⢠Multicam over Wi-Fi or wired LAN: every camera with a letter shows up on a monitor with live view and status, and one tap starts them all ⢠Works on iPad: the whole app, and an iPad makes the ideal monitor for the phones ⢠ProRes RAW recording to a connected USB-C SSD (iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26) ⢠Record HEVC straight to SSD, or mirror every clip to SSD automatically ⢠Multicam letters ride in every file name, so the angles sort themselves out on the desk ⢠Front camera landscape capture while holding the phone upright (square sensor) WHAT IT COSTS The app is free, and the camera side stays that way: film as much as you like, keep every original on your iPhone or on an SSD, take it into Final Cut or Resolve whenever you want. Export Unlock is the one paid feature. It renders the graded file with OneClickLUT burned in. One purchase, every clip, every future update, no subscription. No account. No tracking. Your clips stay on your device. Made in Vienna by videowien, the makers of OneClickLUT.
Kiek
Read full descriptionHide full description
Kiek is a point and shoot with one stock. You frame, you press, and you get a developed photograph. Every frame is a single native Bayer RAW exposure. Kiek develops it through one recipe, kiek type 1, and saves the result as a HEIC. Apple's processing is off. No Deep Fusion, no Smart HDR, no multi-frame fusion. The negative is saved next to the photograph, every time. You never have to ask for it. The viewfinder is an eyepiece. It shows the world so you can frame, not the look. It is digital, so it gives you an exposure reference as well. What the stock does to a picture, you see in your camera roll. WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE Kiek meters and focuses on its own. Tap the picture to focus somewhere else. Hold to lock focus and exposure. The exposure dial clicks from one marked stop to the next. THE SHUTTER DOES NOT WAIT It re-arms as soon as the sensor is done. The develop runs behind it. A press that cannot be serviced is refused, not swallowed. If the engine cannot develop a frame, Apple's own graph does, and the file records which one ran. BOTH PICTURES ARE KEPT The developed HEIC and the raw DNG are saved together, on every frame. There is no setting for this. THE DARKROOM Open any frame from the roll and change its exposure, white balance and tint. Kiek develops it again from the negative, through the stock. It is not a filter on a finished print. Your original stays where it was and can be reverted in Photos. WHAT KIEK SENDS Nothing. No photograph and no data about you leaves the phone. There is no account. The only network Kiek uses is the App Store, to check the subscription. iOS 17 and later. Any iPhone that runs it. One week free. It renews monthly until you cancel it in the App Store. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
