You've got the camera. Become the cameraman.

ShotSense stands behind you while you shoot. It reads the light, finds your subject, and tells you what to change, in plain words, before you tap the button. No camera to buy. No manual to read.

You don't need this.

A real camera is a box of dials and nobody to explain them. Your phone already has the lens and the sensor. ShotSense adds the dials, the meter, and the one part no camera ever shipped with.

Four mistakes you'll stop making.

There's no course. You shoot what you were going to shoot anyway, and the coach corrects one thing at a time. A month in, you'll fix it before it asks.

You're exactly who it's for. Every setting arrives with a one-line reason, so you pick up aperture, shutter and ISO by watching the coach react to things you were already shooting.
No. The phone in your pocket is the camera. ShotSense adds the meter, the dials, and the person who explains them.
It's its own camera. That's how it can read every frame, draw the overlays, and polish the shot the moment you take it. Photos still save to your normal library.
They stay yours, on your device. With an account you can sync them to your own private library. Only a small, downscaled preview is ever sent for a scene reading.
It's in active development for iPhone and Android. Join the waitlist and you'll get one email, when the build is ready for your hands.

There's still a dark photo up there.

Scroll back up and fix it, or don't. Either way, the app will stand behind you and do this with every photo you take.
