Night Keeps

Features
Read full description

Night Keeps is a focused low-light camera for moments that should still feel like night. Capture dinners, small concerts, dates, rainy streets, and ambient light without turning every shadow into daylight. FIVE LOOKS, READY TO SHOOT Start with five restrained photo looks at no cost: • True Night keeps darkness natural and highlights controlled. • Ember protects warm restaurant and dinner light. • Velvet adds a softer, intimate portrait mood. • Neon Rain brings out neon glow and wet street color. • Silver creates a crisp monochrome noir finish. THE COMPLETE NIGHT COLLECTION Full Access is one optional, one-time in-app purchase. It unlocks 15 additional looks—including Midnight, Blue Hour, Streetlight, Aurora, Cinema, Analog, Noir, and Sepia—and removes ads permanently. There is no subscription. SHOOT OR BRING YOUR OWN PHOTO Take a new photo, switch cameras, or choose one image through Apple's system picker. Every look is rendered on your iPhone. Save a finished copy or use the system share sheet. PHOTOS STAY PRIVATE No account is required. Your photos are processed on your iPhone and are never sent to us or to the advertising service. The free version may show a banner and occasional full-screen ads according to your ad privacy choices. Core capture and editing remain available without an account. Night Keeps combines a film-inspired, analog sensibility with fast modern capture for dark scenes, concert color, vintage warmth, and rain-lit streets.
