Halide
A professional third-party camera application for iOS that supports RAW image capture, manual parameter control, and deep access to Apple's AVFoundation low-level camera interfaces.

LTT's wife, using an older 17 Pro with Halide's Process Zero mode, captured sharper footage of moving vehicles than LTT did with the 18 Pro.
Projects such as Halide (an image-processing DSL) and TVM's TE/TIR have validated the feasibility of the design philosophy of separating computation from scheduling.
Halide is developed by Lux Optics and is known for its 'anti-algorithm' philosophy.
Halide supports Apple ProRAW and standard RAW formats, and can output less-processed raw data by directly calling the underlying camera API.
Halide's differentiating point lies in its claim to provide more complete control granularity, rather than merely a few preset switching options.
The native iOS camera tends toward automated decision-making, while Halide prioritizes professional-level manual controls.
The Halide camera app released a new update adding two shooting styles and full support for the variable aperture of the iPhone 18 Pro's main camera.
Third-party apps such as Halide, Kino, and ProCamera use underlying interfaces to bypass the UI-level restrictions of the native camera application and send more granular aperture commands to the hardware.
The community is exploring directions such as Halide and MLIR Linalg, attempting to extend the write-once, generate-everywhere capability to AMD, Intel, and AI-specific chips such as TPUs and Gaudi.
