Foreframe
Frame shots, save your spots
Only for iPhone

iPhone
Preview your camera's framing with just your iPhone — then save the spot, tag it, and come back when the light is right.
Foreframe turns your iPhone into a pocket viewfinder for your real camera.
You see a scene, but your camera is in the bag — or at home. Instead of guessing, open Foreframe, pick your sensor format and focal length, and see exactly what your camera would frame. In seconds you know whether the shot is worth setting up for, or worth coming back for.
And when a place deserves a second visit, don't let it slip away. Save the frame as a spot: it keeps the preview photo, the location, your framing settings, and your notes — so the idea survives until you return with the right gear and the right light.
A VIEWFINDER THAT SPEAKS YOUR CAMERA'S LANGUAGE
- Simulate framing for Full Frame, APS-C 1.5x, APS-C 1.6x, and Micro 4/3
- Dial in focal length and aspect ratio right on the viewfinder
- Jump between six customizable quick focal presets while scouting
- Automatically uses the best-matching physical iPhone lens for a believable preview
- Tap to focus and AE/AF Lock for stable framing at longer focal lengths
- Composition guides for thirds, center, diagonals, golden ratio, and golden spiral
- Optional 4:5 and square safe areas, plus a live level for precise alignment
- Live technical readout: field of view, matched lens, digital zoom
SPOTS: A MEMORY FOR PLACES WORTH RETURNING TO
- Save any preview as a spot, or add new captures to a spot you already know
- Each spot holds its photos, location, tags, a note, and a status — "want to return" or "completed"
- Browse your spots in a photo-first gallery with search, filters, and sorting
- Sort by nearest to see which saved compositions are within reach right now
- See all your spots on a map when you're planning a route
- Share a complete spot — including every capture, note, tag, location, and framing setting — as a portable .ffspot file
- Open shared .ffspot files in Foreframe, preview their contents, and save an independent copy to your own library
- Share or save any capture to Photos whenever you want — nothing leaves the app on its own
BUILT FOR THE FIELD
- Works fully offline — no account, no sign-in, no subscription
- All spots stay on your device; Photos access is add-only, your library is never read
- Your framing settings and presets are remembered between launches
- Fast, native, and designed to stay out of your way
FREE TO USE, ONE-TIME UPGRADE
Foreframe is free to download, and the viewfinder is free without limits. The free tier includes up to 5 spots with 5 captures each. Foreframe Prime — a single one-time purchase, no subscription — removes the spot limits and includes every future Prime feature. Family Sharing is supported.
New in Foreframe 1.4:
• Compose in black and white and save captures with the selected look.
• Foreframe is now fully localized in Italian.
• Photos exports more reliably preserve the rendered image and camera metadata.
• Improved data deletion confirmation and additional UI fixes.
