Please note that Halide is a premium app and is not offered for free. However, a 7-day free trial is available for annual memberships. If subscriptions are not your preference, you also have the option to purchase the app with a single in-app transaction.

Halide, an Apple Design Award-winning camera app, hails from the creators of Spectre, Apple's App of the Year in 2019. It stands out as a powerful camera designed for iPhone users, combining sophistication with a minimalist design that caters to both professionals and enthusiasts alike.

This innovative application is dedicated to intentional and creative photography. Featuring high-end tools and a visually pleasing interface tailored specifically for the latest iPhones, Halide draws inspiration from the functionality found in professional cameras. It aims to be your primary choice when you want to capture an image thoughtfully rather than hurriedly.

By utilizing intuitive gestures, users can alter exposure and manual focus effortlessly with a simple swipe or switch seamlessly between automatic and manual shooting modes. Halide provides a range of professional tools that are unparalleled in the App Store, including XDR 14-bit RAW streaming waveform views, color zebras, focus assists such as focus peaking and loupe, histograms, adaptive level grids, and manual depth capture features. The app allows for customization of controls to suit individual preferences.

Halide's ProRAW support is unrivaled, offering users the flexibility to choose between 12-bit and 10-bit ProRAW formats with or without JPEG sidecars, as well as the option to switch to native RAW for enhanced detail and processing speed.
