No cloud uploads. No account. No ads. No subscription. ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY AND STACKING Star trail composites let you stack up to 20 images into a single long-exposure trail. Image stacking for noise reduction combines up to 10 exposures. Batch processing applies identical adjustments to up to 20 photos at once. PRO EDITING Curves editor with draggable control points. Split toning for independent color grading of shadows and highlights. Color splash to isolate one color and desaturate the rest. Gamma correction, color temperature, hue shift, and light pollution removal. Custom watermark with text, size, opacity, and position control. Save, load, import, and export presets as JSON. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS Live RGB histogram, false color exposure map, edge detection with adjustable threshold, focus peaking, FFT frequency analysis, and anomaly detection. CAMERA RAW capture mode delivers unprocessed sensor output with no noise reduction or edge enhancement. Tap-to-focus with focus ring indicator. Rule-of-thirds grid and level indicator. Exposure compensation slider. Self-timer at 3 or 10 seconds. Front and rear camera with flash toggle.

No subscriptions, ever.
What’s new
Version 1.1.0 · Updated September 26, 2026
This release fixes a number of things that were not working properly. EDITING • Hue Shift, Lightness and Split Toning now change the image. Split Toning's highlight hue and balance controls were previously ignored. • Sharpening no longer leaves a thin border along the edge of PNG exports. • Cropping is fixed. The crop box now follows your finger instead of jumping away from it, and the preview afterwards shows the area you actually selected. • Watermarks now appear in exported images. • Preset export and import both work. • Recent Edits now records what you export. • The default export quality you choose in Settings is used by the export dialog. • Dragging a slider quickly to a new position no longer leaves the preview showing an earlier value. CAMERA • Photos taken with the iPad rotated are saved the right way up. The viewfinder corrected itself before, but the saved photo did not. STACKING & STAR TRAILS • Image Stacking and Star Trails handle full-resolution photos without running out of memory. The app now works out what it needs before it starts, reduces the working size if it has to, and tells you when it does. • Median stacking processes the image in bands, so it completes at full resolution where it previously had to shrink your photograph. OTHER • Failed saves are reported instead of appearing to succeed. • Clearer messages when a file cannot be opened. • Purchases are now handled through RevenueCat. Your Pro unlock carries over; nothing to do.
