Spiralens: Golden Ratio Camera

Most camera grids draw a few lines and leave the rest to you. Spiralens is a golden ratio camera that tells you where to move your phone, so your photos come out balanced without learning the rules first. How it works 1. Tap what you want to photograph. Not sure? Dashed circles point out a few likely targets. 2. Follow the arrow on the screen. The app keeps track of what you tapped while you move. 3. When the ring turns green, take the photo. Green means your target sits on the golden ratio point of the frame and the camera angle suits it. You can take the photo at any moment; green is a guide, not a rule. Composition guides • Golden spiral overlay (the Fibonacci spiral) • Golden ratio grid, also called the phi grid • Rule of thirds grid • Symmetry and level horizon • Presets for portraits, faces, groups, pets, food, products, landscapes, architecture and close-ups. Pick one and the camera opens the right guide and shows where to tap. While you shoot • In portraits it finds the eye nearest the camera and leaves space on the side the person is looking. • Small models running on your phone suggest up to three targets. They never choose for you. • A level indicator keeps horizons straight. • Short tips on light and angle: backlight, low light, leaning buildings, food from the side or from above. • Auto capture once everything lines up, right away or after 1 or 3 seconds. • Manual ISO and shutter speed on phones that support it, plus a full resolution mode. After the shot • Portrait-style background blur: the target stays sharp and the background goes soft. You decide how much. • Golden ratio crop puts the target on the guide and shows how much of the photo you keep. Drag the photo to fine-tune. • Straighten, or crop to 4:5, square, 16:9 or cinema. • Looks: Cinematic, Film, Black & white, Vivid and Matte, each with its own strength slider. • Automatic light and color in five styles (Natural, Rich, Soft, Dramatic, Warm), or edit by hand. • Works on photos already in your gallery, too. Learn as you go The Guide tab explains each composition guide with before and after examples. You can start knowing nothing about photography, and over time you start to notice space, balance and lines on your own. Private by design Face detection, target suggestions, background blur and every edit happen on your phone. There is no account and no photo upload. Saving to the gallery makes a copy and keeps the original. To find and fix problems, Spiralens sends anonymous usage statistics and crash reports. They never include photos, location or identity, and you can turn them off in About. Free version and Pro The free version keeps the coach, every composition guide, auto capture and the Person and Landscape scenes. It shows ads from Google, never on the camera screen. Photos you save or share from it carry a Spiralens watermark across the image, and a short video plays before each save to the gallery. Background blur, long exposure and editing styles can each be tried 3 times for free. Spiralens Pro comes as a yearly or monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. It removes the ads, the watermark and the video, and opens all 9 scenes, background blur, long exposure, editing styles and looks, the golden crop suggestion, framing photos from your gallery, manual ISO and full resolution. Subscriptions renew automatically and you can cancel any time in Google Play. Available in English, Türkçe, Español, Português, Bahasa Indonesia, Русский, Deutsch, Français, 日本語 and العربية. One honest note: the golden ratio helps you frame a photo, but it does not make a photo beautiful on its own. Spiralens doesn't claim otherwise.
