Direct control
Shutter, ISO, focus, white balance, and exposure—without leaving the frame.
Open source camera app
An open-source iPhone camera app with direct manual control and live looks you can see before the shot.

Designed around the photograph—not the interface.
Made for photographers who want more from the camera they always carry.
01 / Approach
A phone can be a real camera.
Iris stays fast when the moment is brief, then reveals direct photographic controls when you reach for them. No feed. No account. Nothing between you and the frame.
02 / Features
Shutter, ISO, focus, white balance, and exposure—without leaving the frame.
See the final character of your photograph before you press the shutter.
Keep a finished HEIC for now or a flexible RAW file for what comes next.
03 / Looks
A small set of considered renderings, shown live in the viewfinder and applied with care to the final image.
