Luxmo
About
Luxmo turns your iPhone into a fast, precise reflected-light meter for photographers. Point it at your scene and read a correct exposure instantly — aperture, shutter and ISO — on a calm, single screen with no clutter.
Built for film and analog shooters who want a dependable meter in their pocket, Luxmo is fully offline. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Nothing you measure ever leaves your device.
WHY LUMETRA
- Instant readings — the live meter updates in real time
- One clean screen — no menus to dig through
- Private by design — on-device only, no network, no data collection

HOW IT WORKS Choose what you've set on your camera — aperture or shutter — pick your film speed, and Luxmo solves the rest. Values snap to standard full, ½ or ⅓ stops, just like a real meter.
