OneClickCamera vs ModCam

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 • AF-L holds focus right where it is with one tap, also mid-take; press and hold to focus on a spot and keep it there • 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; on the iPhone 18 Pro also the iris, stepless from f/1.5 to f/4 • 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 and ProRes RAW HQ on the iPhone 17 Pro and newer: into Apple's Pro Video Storage (iOS 27) or onto a connected USB-C SSD • Record HEVC straight to SSD, or mirror every clip to SSD automatically • HDMI and SDI monitoring: the live picture goes out over USB-C to an HDMI screen, clean or with the viewfinder tools, and through an HDMI to SDI converter into any SDI monitor or switcher • 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 Filming is free and stays free: film as much as you like, keep every original on your iPhone or on an SSD, grade it, and export the finished clip with OneClickLUT burned in, or take the original into Final Cut or Resolve. Right now every feature is free, export included, and there is no subscription. No account. No tracking. Your clips stay on your device. Made in Vienna by videowien, the makers of OneClickLUT.

ModCam writes one file: a pure Bayer RAW DNG, straight from the sensor, with none of Apple's computational photography layered on top. In the default mode the app asks the camera for the sensor's own Bayer mosaic. Smart HDR tone fusion, Deep Fusion, the Photonic Engine, Night mode multi-frame stacking and Apple's color and tone rendering are all skipped. What lands in your photo library is a single-frame DNG that reflects what the sensor read, ready for whatever develop you choose. Here is the honest trade-off, because most apps do not say it out loud. The 48MP camera sensor is quad-Bayer. The un-remosaiced mosaic is about 12MP (4032 x 3024). A 48MP frame only exists after Apple's remosaic, which means it is ProRAW and it carries a computational baseline inside the DNG. ModCam does not pretend otherwise. It gives you both, as a visible mode switch: Bayer RAW, about 12MP, no Apple processing. ProRAW, 48MP, remosaiced, Apple's baseline included. The button at the top of the screen always shows which mode you are in. If the phone ever saves a 48MP shot at a lower resolution, a message pops up right away to tell you, and the gallery lists the real size of every photo. You find out on the spot, not a week later in your editor. MANUAL CONTROL ISO, shutter, white balance in Kelvin and focus are all yours. Each one is a ruler you scrub with your thumb: a fast swipe crosses the whole range, a slow one lands on a single step. What you set stays set, with no background auto correction quietly walking your exposure back while you compose. ISO and shutter speed each have an A/M button. A lets the camera set it, M keeps your value. ISO on M with shutter on A is ISO priority. Shutter on M with ISO on A is shutter priority. Both on M is full manual. A main A/M button switches both, and one tap on it takes you back to full auto. A live histogram and false color read the scene for you. A viewfinder can only approximate a RAW develop, so ModCam points you at the instruments for exposure rather than claiming the preview is the file. APERTURE The aperture (f-number) of the lens in use sits next to the lens buttons and updates when you switch lenses. On iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, the 1x camera's aperture is adjustable. Yellow means automatic. Tap or swipe right to open the stops, f/1.48 to f/4, and tap or slide to pick one. Tap M or swipe left for automatic. Elsewhere it is shown for reference. THE REST OF IT Every rear lens plus the front camera, selected directly. Self-timer with a countdown that blinks a warning before the shutter fires. Grid and level guides you can hide for a clean frame. Hardware shutter: the volume buttons and Camera Control both fire. An in-app session gallery: each shot's real mode, size, exposure and time, without leaving for Photos. Optional location tagging, written into the DNG's own metadata on the device. A three-page first-run intro that shows you where everything lives. WHO IT IS FOR People who develop their own files. If you shoot for Lightroom, Capture One or another RAW editor and you would rather start from what the sensor read than from a rendered result, this is aimed at you. If you want a finished JPEG straight out of the phone, the built-in Camera app does that better. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking. There is no networking code in the app at all; it behaves identically in Airplane Mode. The only outward links are the Privacy Policy and Support rows in Settings, which open in Safari, and the Maps button in the gallery, which hands a coordinate to the maps app you choose. DEVICE SUPPORT ModCam is built around the Pro camera systems: the 48MP main sensor, the full rear lens set, and the manual ranges those cameras expose. On other iPhones it still runs, reading the modes, lenses and ranges from whatever camera is there, and showing a one-time notice that says so. Nothing is blocked. Version 1.0 is completely free.
