Permissions

Camera

Stenope asks for camera access so it can show a live pinhole-style preview and capture long-exposure-style photos.

Photo library save access

Stenope asks for permission to save edited photos to your photo library. It saves only when you choose to save.

Photo import

When you import a photo, iOS presents the system photo picker. Stenope receives access only to the photo you choose through that picker.

Sharing

When you share a saved photo, Stenope uses the iOS share sheet. The photo is sent only to the destination you choose.

Third parties

Stenope does not send photos, camera frames, or usage data to third-party services. The support form on the support page is powered by Formspree. If you submit the form, the information you enter is sent to Formspree so we can receive and respond to your message.
