Framelight
Framelight is a mobile camera app that provides real-time, on-device composition guidance to help casual photographers capture better photos. Using Google ML Kit for face detection, it overlays a single arrow on the viewfinder with simple directions like "tilt up" or "move left," and confirms when the composition is balanced. All processing happens locally with sub-50ms latency, ensuring privacy and speed.

Problem
Most photos suffer from imperfect composition—subjects too centered, horizons slightly tilted, or people clipped at the frame's edge. By the time users notice these flaws, the moment has passed and cannot be recaptured.
Solution
Framelight provides real-time, on-device composition guidance to help users take better photos. When the camera is open, a grid appears instantly and simple arrows guide the user with clear directions like "tilt up" or "move left," eliminating confusing jargon. The app teaches professional techniques including the rule of thirds, leading lines, golden ratio, and edge balance, and confirms when the composition is balanced so the user can capture with confidence. All processing happens 100% on-device with under 50ms latency, ensuring privacy and speed.
Target Audience
Primary users are casual smartphone photographers—from family gathering attendees to travelers—who want to capture well-composed photos without learning photography theory.
