About
Luxmo turns your iPhone into a fast, precise reflected-light meter. Point it at your scene and read a correct exposure straight off one calm screen — aperture, shutter and ISO, with no menus to dig through.
Built for film and analog shooters who want a dependable meter in their pocket. Luxmo runs entirely on your device: no account, no ads, no tracking, and nothing you measure ever leaves your iPhone.
WHAT MAKES LUXMO DIFFERENT
- Real photographic units
Aperture, shutter speed and ISO for the shot, plus EV, lux and foot-candle readouts for the same scene. - Values that snap like a real meter
Choose full, ½ or ⅓ stop increments and every number lands on a standard mark instead of an arbitrary decimal. - You set one value, Luxmo solves the rest
Tell it what is already dialled in on your camera, pick your film speed, and it works out the remaining settings live. - One screen, no menus
The live meter, the mode pills and the steppers all sit on a single view — nothing is buried two taps deep. - Hold a reading
Freeze the current measurement so you can step out of the light and still read the numbers. - Fully offline
No account, no network calls, no analytics. Camera frames are metered on-device and never stored.
WHO IS LUXMO FOR?
- Film photographers whose camera has no built-in meter, or one that no longer works
- Large-format and medium-format shooters who meter before every frame
- Anyone learning the exposure triangle who wants to watch the three values move together
- Photographers who would rather not carry a second piece of hardware
PRICING
Included: live reflected metering, aperture priority, EV, lux and foot-candle readouts, full / ½ / ⅓ stop increments, and hold-a-reading. Luxmo Pro is a one-time in-app purchase — not a subscription — and adds spot metering (tap to meter one part of the scene), shutter and ISO priority modes, exposure compensation, and a saved readings log with notes and CSV export.
