Cat's Eye 2.0 • New screen: the 4:3 viewfinder stays still on the screen with the four dials at its corners, and all the controls sit in two rows above it, each with its name. When you turn the iPhone, the buttons rotate in place, just like in Apple's Camera. • Pick the lens with one tap (Ultra Wide, Main, Tele) and switch to the front camera with SELFIE. Pinch to zoom; the zoom dial shows millimeters and magnification, and marks the digital range in amber, with the megapixels you really have left. • Choose Portrait by swiping under the shutter, and shoot in 4:3, 16:9 or 1:1. • NEW: solar compass. See where the sun rises and sets today, where it is now and which way shadows fall, with golden hour and blue hour alerts. • NEW: depth of field. What stays sharp at each focus distance, and a button to focus at the hyperfocal distance. • Exposure compensation, white balance, flash and torch, drive and format, one tap away in the top row. • Standby: the screen goes black when you're not using it, face down or when you hold the mode button, and comes back with a tap, a volume button or when you lift the iPhone.

Cat's Eye 1.3 • NEW: Portrait. Tap the button next to the shutter and the photo comes out with the background blurred, worked out from the real distance measured by the LiDAR scanner. No generative AI: nothing is made up. On iPhones with LiDAR. • Choose how much to blur afterwards: a slider from ƒ/1.4 to ƒ/16, “Sharp zone” to decide how much stays in focus, and six bokeh styles: creamy, classic, cat's eye, anamorphic, bubble and hexagon. • In backlight, Portrait protects the background so it doesn't blow out, and “Subject light” brightens the person afterwards. • On iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, Portrait takes a second shot with the aperture closed and corrects the depth where the scanner gets it wrong: railings, bars, leaves. • In the editor, pinch to zoom, save the crop as a new photo or share it straight away (WhatsApp, Messages, AirDrop…). • The app's viewer shows all your Cat's Eye photos just as they are in your library, with a filter to see only Portraits.

Cat's Eye 1.2 • Peaking now measures DISTANCE, not contrast. It marks in red what is really at the focus distance, so background leaves no longer light up and a dark subject no longer goes unmarked. On iPhones with a LiDAR scanner; on the others it works as before. • And with it you can see depth of field: close the aperture and the marked zone widens in front of you, until the whole background comes into focus. On iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. • While peaking is on, framing stays at 24 mm: measuring distance and zooming can't happen at the same time. • The mode button always does the same thing: AUTO 1 with a clean screen, AUTO 2 with the four rings in view, and M with the values the camera was using. The setting that changed that cycle is gone. • Press and hold now waits for the lens to focus before locking, and goes straight from one lock to another. • If an aid is on but hidden because the camera is in AUTO 1, the viewfinder tells you how to see it. • "Show the hints again" now answers, and says the first-launch cards come back too. • The cards and the Gestures screen are up to date: they described the old mode-button cycle.

This version doesn't change the app: it only brings its App Store page up to date. 1.1 brought the real iPhone 18 Pro aperture tuned on hardware, P mode, no shutter lag, and the settings of each photo in the viewer.

Cat's Eye 1.1 • iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max: the bladed aperture, now tested and tuned with the iPhone in hand. The ring runs in classic thirds (ƒ/1.48 · 1.8 · 2 … 4), turns smoothly and the photo records the real aperture. • The photo is the instant you tap, and the shutter is free again right away for the next one. • Tap AUTO to switch to manual with the values the camera was using; tap again to go back to AUTO. With only the ISO set by hand, P mode. • Manual focus by sliding sideways, and subject tracking (double tap) now keeps focus on the subject. • MENU quick menu with flash, burst, timer and torch; the shutter shows the drive mode, and flash and torch show beside the data line. • 5- and 10-second timer, with the rear light blinking during the countdown. • White balance slider, from 2500 to 9000 K. • It teaches itself: hints the first time, cards on first launch and the Gestures screen in Settings. • Trash in the viewer, shooting with the volume buttons and a design made for Liquid Glass. • In the photo viewer, a button shows the settings each photo was taken with: shutter, aperture, ISO, focal length and exposure compensation. • Many fixes: no photo is lost when you leave the app, full VoiceOver and a data line that always fits. The exposure series and the aperture series from 1.0 are retired: they didn't deliver the quality this app aims for. They'll be back, rebuilt, in a future version.
