I've been testing Halide for a few weeks now and I love it! It provides super fast access to more powerful features without adding complexity. Highly recommended 🙌

Great attention to detail throughout this app, even with a custom font ('Halide Router'). Two features stand out to me over Manual camera: photo triage (swipe to fave or delete photos) and focus peaking (peeking?). The introductory Medium post is worth a read.

Very, very well made. Now if there was an app that made me understand how all the features work I'd be set

this is awesome!

Is HDR supported in Halide?

@sdw Does Halide take shots after the finger is released from the button or when the button is touched, like the regular Camera app from Apple? What additional features are planned? Slow shutter and burst mode? Aspect ratio selection? A seperate leveler without the grid?

Well, App is great but, Halide is really lame Turkish woman name. :D

Been beta testing Halide for a few weeks here; The attention to detail for things that unexpectedly yet significantly enhance my shooting experience is amazing, i.e. grid tiles that softly light up when your camera is level. As a novice photographer who wants something more than the system camera app, but feels overwhelmed w/ advanced camera apps, Halide hits the sweet spot 👌

One question: I've been using Manual as a replacement for the stock camera app. Any reason I should upgrade? Design wise this is really good-looking.

hey folks, Sebastiaan here. I did the design of Halide, with Ben doing the incredibly great engineering of the app. Halide is an opinionated, different take on a camera app. We found smartphone cameras have improved massively over the years, but the shooting experience hasn’t. The built-in camera app is a little too simple, while advanced apps feel like an airplane cockpit. We needed an elegant app for deliberate and thoughtful photography, so we built Halide. I hope you enjoy all the little touches in it, and let us know what you think! Sadly we can't offer a discount for PH users on the App Store, but I will send extra good vibes to anyone here :)

Instabuy. I'm really excited to try this out.

Bought it, fun times ahead, I predict.

Nice. We'll try it out. Quite similar to our infltr 👉🏻 www.apple.co/infltr

Currently using Filmborn which has been my camera of choice, but this looks like something I should consider switching to.

Ah I was so close! Looks great though!

It's very quick to launch, and the UI is a joy to use.

Just installed and tested. Wow... This is great. Wish I had it for the long weekend that just passed!!

Would be nice if somebody shares a link to their #halide gallery. Thanks

Being able to fully address things like RAW file format, auto/manual settings, and manual focus quickly and easily before you take a photo might mean little or no editing afterwards. The interface is really elegant, so much so that I'm not sure if I'm missing some functionality because I haven't discovered it yet. As I am using it, it's for having lots of control in capture.

Pros:

Great camera app to control everything up front

Cons:

Can't shoot in square format? I'm not sure…
