Even Longer Remote turns an iPhone, iPad or Mac into the viewfinder and control surface of an Even Longer long-exposure camera running on another device. It needs an Even Longer camera to connect to: Even Longer with remote control switched on (a PRO feature there). WHAT YOU GET ⢠The camera's live viewfinder, with its grid, histogram and celestial overlay ⢠Full manual control ā ISO, shutter, EV, focus, white balance, lens, and aperture on the iPhone 18 Pro ⢠Accumulation mode, sequence target, file format and every camera setting, exactly as the camera offers them ⢠Live capture progress, pause, resume, stop and save ⢠Finished files delivered to the controller as they are saved ā RAW, ProRAW, TIFF, HEIC or JPEG, whatever the camera wrote PAIRING Local network only. The camera announces itself, both screens show a short code, you confirm it by eye ā and that camera is remembered. TLS-secured, no cloud, no account, no sign-in. In the field, the camera phone's personal hotspot is all the network you need. ONE CONTROLLER FOR ANY EVEN LONGER CAMERA The controller offers exactly what the camera it is driving can honour, and nothing it cannot. That camera can be any iPhone or iPad running Even Longer. THE TWO APPS ⢠Even Longer Remote ā this app: the controller. It does not capture on its own. ⢠Even Longer ā the paid camera app for iPhone and iPad. Remote control is part of its optional PRO in-app upgrade, alongside RAW, Apple ProRAW and TIFF output, ShadowIQ, the celestial overlay, scheduled capture, the intervalometer, interim saves and anamorphic desqueeze. No account, no ads, no data collection. English and German. Built in SwiftUI for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

The clearest difference is chart position: Even Longer Remote at #188 against Light Cine's unranked. Even Longer Remote also leads on price ($4.99 vs $6.99). Light Cine's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
