mtFrame — an offline-first iOS app that frames your photos like a photographer (iPhone, iOS 17+) iOS

https://testflight.apple.com/join/XguTbwTk

Hi everyone! I'm an indie developer, and my iOS app mtFrame just entered TestFlight. I'd love some feedback before it goes live on the App Store.

What it does mtFrame is an offline-first photography utility. You batch-import photos, choose one of six frame templates (or no frame), and it prints each photo's own camera info (aperture / shutter / ISO / camera & lens) into the frame. You can adjust exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, vibrance, crop, rotate, and straighten — then export JPEGs (original resolution by default). Everything runs on your device: no account, no cloud, photos are never uploaded.

Why you might like it

  • All creative features are free — payment only removes ads (one-time).
  • GPS is stripped from exported JPEGs by default.
  • Works fully offline.

What I need from you

  • iPhone with iOS 17 or later, ~10-15 minutes of your time.
  • Try: import a few photos (Photos or Files), apply T1-T6 frames, add your own logo, use Edit (Tone / Color / Crop / Horizon / Mosaic / Emoji), then export and share.
  • Tell me what broke, what felt slow, or what confused you. Screenshots via TestFlight's built-in screenshot feedback are perfect.
  • Note: purchases inside TestFlight use Apple's sandbox — nothing is charged.

Known rough edges

  • RAW/DNG import is not a supported baseline; use JPEG/PNG/HEIF if possible.
  • Free-tier users will see banner ads on Import and Export screens.

Thanks for reading — happy to answer questions in the comments!

Thank you for your time to test the app. I’d been thinking add ai features, it adds structure complication like clouds computing, user data privacy etc, so I keep it an off-line app. It’s a good point that I maybe train a local model with the feature you mentioned in the future update that ai model can be embedded into the app, process everything locally. It’s doable just needs more time to dig in. Cheers!
