Halide is an Apple Design Award winning, acclaimed camera from the team behind Spectre, Apple's App of the Year of 2019.
Halide is the most powerful camera for iPhone with the most elegant, simple design — A pro camera for everyone.
This is a groundbreaking app for deliberate and thoughtful photography. With high-end tools, and a beautiful interface designed from scratch for the latest iPhones and inspired by the controls of professional cameras, Halide is your go-to camera when you want to really take a photo rather than a quick snapshot.
Use gestures in Halide to change exposure and manual focus with a swipe, or switch from its powerful automatic mode to manual shooting. Halide’s professional tools are the most powerful in the App Store, with XDR (Extended Dynamic Range) 14-bit RAW streaming waveform views, color zebras, focus assists like focus peaking and loupe, histograms, an adaptive level grid, and manual depth capture. Customize controls to adapt the app to your needs.
Halide’s ProRAW support* is unmatched. Strike the right balance between file size and editing latitude by choosing between 12-bit and 10-bit ProRAW, with or without JPEG sidecars. Effortlessly switch to native RAW, for greater detail and speed.

Terrible app
Can’t even open the app without paying a subscription. Who on earth is stupid enough to pay 69€ for a camera app are you insane?! I remember when these used to be 99c absolutely disgusting profiteering. No thanks, deleted right away. Subscription models have killed most apps on arrival.
Ai tech for photos
You can make some crazy images with this app.
Really buggy
App constantly freezes and closes, photos are lost almost every time I want to use the app. To make it worse, I get an annoyingly ambiguous pop-up every time “Some photos could not be saved, but we securely saved them”… what on Earth does that mean?
This stuff would almost be forgivable if it wasn’t so expensive
Rainbow
Love the rainbow cover as it reminds us of God’s love for his people and how he promised never to flood the earth again! Thank you for doing this for God
Must buy!
Simply the best around with zero competition in sight. Not only does it maximise the best software to perfect your photos, they’ve also launched an almost Halide University to help you become the best photographer you can be. So your not just paying for software, your also paying for best in class lessons with real professionals.
Issues with lens warping
When using in portrait mode it tends to either squash subjects or warp them. I have uninstalled and installed and same issue. Device up to date and still issues.
I didn’t enjoy using this app
I found this app has no advantage over other free apps available including iphone camera.
👎 for me.
Great app!
Why can't I use my Apple headphones to take a picture when camera is on a tripod (using this app)?
Seriously good
This is a really well thought out app, packed with excellent and useful features. However, the inclusion of Focus Peaking (usually only found on very high-end pro equipment) makes this app an absolute no-brainer for people who are serious about photography. Just get it.
