iSoftBox
Creative Lighting Made Easy
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
iSoftBox turns your iPhone or iPad into a clean, controllable light source for photography. Use the display you already have to illuminate small subjects, digitize film, create calibration frames, or paint with light.
A Clean, Full-Screen Light
The selected color fills the entire display without permanent controls, toolbars, or status indicators contaminating the light. Choose HSB to shape hue, saturation, and brightness, or switch to CCT to fine-tune white light through temperature, tint, and intensity. A temporary visual readout appears only while you make an adjustment.
Made for Real Photography
• Product and Macro Lighting — Use one device as a key, fill, rim, or accent light for small subjects. Combine multiple devices when your setup needs more coverage or separation.
• Film Digitizing — Place a negative carrier over a neutral white screen to create a practical backlight for camera scanning.
• Astrophotography Flat Frames — Rest the device over an upward-facing telescope aperture and use its uniform screen to capture flat-field calibration frames.
• Light Painting — Move a colored screen through a long exposure to create broad, expressive trails that are difficult to achieve with a point light.
Controls That Stay Out of the Shot
Each color mode has its own gesture assignments. Customize which one- and two-finger swipes adjust each property and choose the drag direction that increases its value. Double-tap to open precise controls for the active mode. When your setup is ready, lock gestures to prevent accidental changes while positioning a subject, film carrier, or other equipment.
Choose a Brightness Curve that suits how you want adjustments to respond. Enable Preserve Settings when you want iSoftBox to restore your Color Mode or Color Adjustments the next time it opens. Built-in Color Accuracy guidance identifies display settings that can affect color consistency.
iSoftBox keeps the display awake while the light is active. When the app leaves the foreground, it restores your original system brightness.
Accessible and Private
All gesture-driven adjustments are also available through standard controls for VoiceOver and Switch Control users. iSoftBox requires no account and includes no analytics or tracking identifiers. Your preferences remain on your device.
Whether you are building a careful tabletop setup or experimenting outdoors after dark, iSoftBox gives you a simple photographic light that is always close at hand.
