Color & light meter for iPhone and iPad
Kelvin, tint and exposure read live through the camera you already carry, and the sun's path drawn over the same picture. Made for gaffers, cinematographers and anyone who has to match one light to another.
$19.99, once.
Included on Cutvey plans that carry it.
One purchase
Buy it once and it is yours on every iPhone and iPad you sign into, iOS 17 and later.
Nothing leaves the phone
No advertising, no tracking. No reading, frame or location goes anywhere unless you share it yourself.
Works on location
The meter and the sun tracker need no signal. Every reading, calibration and rig stays on the device.
01 Match
Pin a source with REF, point at the second one, and the card shows both readings, the difference in kelvin and in mired, and the gel that closes the gap. Not "these are 1,400 K apart" but "half CTO, plus 18 mired".
02 Expose
The strip under the reading carries a live ND recommendation for your rig: ISO, stop, shutter and frame rate. Tap it to solve for ND, ISO, stop or shutter instead. Save a rig as your default and every job starts from it.
03 Plan
The sun tracker keeps the camera exactly where it is and lays the sun's path over the live view, with hour markers, a compass ribbon and the horizon. Drag the scrubber and the sun walks its path, so you can see the four o'clock light while you are standing on the location.
04 Keep
LOG saves the reading with the frame you were pointing at. They collect as a contact sheet, newest first. Compare any two, share one with its frame, and every reading remembers the device, the lens and the exposure you had on.
It tells you when not to trust it
HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW say how settled the reading is. DIFFICULT SOURCE means the light is spiky, the kind of cheap LED or fluorescent no camera can pin down, and the app says so instead of guessing. This is a camera used as a meter, not a spectrometer: for continuous sources it is close, and for spiky ones it tells you.
On iPad as well
Same meter, same numbers, same library. Bought once, it unlocks on both.
Unlock forever
The whole app, forever. One payment, no subscription, no upgrades to buy later. Restores on any iPhone or iPad running iOS 17 or later and signed into the same Apple Account.
