HRZN
iOS Universel / Photo et vidéo
◎ Life in Ultrawide 21:9
Make cinematic photos set in the ultra-wide 21:9 format, directly from your iPhone. Complete the look with handpicked film effects that were HRZN originals:
- Metropolitan — a modern film that produces subtly vivid colours
- Cosmos — a dramatic film for high-contrast black-and-white shots
- Violla — an artistic choice for colours that resemble those on an instant photo from the ’80s
… and 40+ more.
◎ Make Your Cameras
Life is more than cinema. You can build your own custom cameras that launch with one tap, ready for your day’s mood. Customize your camera with:
- Aspect Ratios — the classic 1:1 square, a portrait-worthy large frame emulating 6:7, or DSLR 2:3.
- Film Effects — customize the film effect that fits your mood, with customizable intensity to apply.
- Preferred Lens — designate a selfie camera, or shoot landscape always with 20mm. The choice is yours!
- Fine-tune details — further customize your look with highlight/shadow adjustments, colour fade, vignette, and exposure.
- Timestamps! Ring in the nostalgia with handcrafted timestamp overlays that represent key eras of photography history
◎ Import Photos
Once you build a camera, you can import photos from Photo Library. Edit your photos for a consistent look, suitable for posting online in a batch.
HRZN is closely integrated with your iOS and iPadOS Photo Library. Your edits are always non-destructive and allow do-overs. Edit away!
◎ Find Inspirations
Discover editor-curated film effects in the app. The “Discovery” tab is the best place for experiments and trials alike.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
Happy 2026! HRZN is updated for the new year with improvements on UI and the photography experience.
◎ Camera improvements
You can now use hardware buttons to take a photo, including the volume up/down buttons and the dedicated camera button on certain devices.
We also improved the zooming experience — you can easily swap to another focal length by tapping the buttons, instead of fiddling with a slider.
◎ iCloud sync for presets
Your preset collection is saved and synced to iCloud, so that you can have the same set of presets on all your devices. When you migrate to a new iPhone, your presets should download automatically, too.
◎ iCloud Family Sharing
We are making HRZN Pro membership eligible for iCloud Family Sharing. You can now share your purchase with up to 5 other people in the same family.
◎ Liquid Glass on OS 26
We adopted the Liquid Glass design for iOS and iPadOS 26, but kept the app compatible to iOS 18.2+. Widgets on Lock Screen and Home Screen are also updated to look modern and consistent regardless of the Home Screen appearance you choose.
◎ Improved iPad support
HRZN now supports the camera in all 4 orientations, and you can use the app in a window. This works for both iOS/iPadOS 18 and 26.
◎ Invisible housekeeping
We gutted the app’s code base to prepare it for more timely and regular updates in the future. This is where we hope you notice nothing ;)
If you happen to be interested in the technical details:
- We adopted App Intents framework, the modern architecture that contributes to Siri/Apple Intelligence, and powers Home Screen and Lock Screen Widgets
- We switched to full SwiftUI–managed app lifecycle — now it’s a lot easier to manage UI code that scales from iPhone to iPad
- We flattened the project structure and did a lot of refactoring
