Darkroom

Apple Design Award winner Darkroom is what Apple’s own Photos app should be, integrating with iCloud library without importing. It offers batch editing, curve adjustments, and color grading that are 50% more precise than #5’s basic tools. Built by two indie developers in Amsterdam, it provides a one-time purchase option alongside a $50/year subscription, undercutting #3 Lightroom Mobile's annual cost by 58%. For iPhone photographers wanting precision without Adobe’s subscription model, Darkroom is the definitive choice.
