Darkroom

Apple Design Award winner Darkroom is what Apple's own Photos app should be. It integrates directly with your iCloud library — no importing needed — and offers batch editing, curve adjustments, color grading, and hashtag management for social posting. The app was built by two indie developers in Amsterdam and has become the go-to editor for iPhone photographers who want precision without Adobe's subscription model. One-time purchase option available alongside a $50/year subscription.
