For iPhone, iPad and Mac

Step inside the 360° photos you already have.

Panosphera finds the 360° photos, videos and panoramas already in your Photos library and puts you inside them — drag, or move your phone, to look around. It replays them as a feed of your own moments, and turns the best into clips you can share anywhere.

Coming soon to the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Everything runs on your device — no account, no upload, no tracking.

  1. 1

    Finds them

    Opens on the 360° photos, videos and panoramas already in your library. No import, no setup.

  2. 2

    Puts you inside

    Drag or move your phone to look around. Flick through them as a feed of your own moments.

  3. 3

    Shares the view

    A flat photo, a clip that moves between the subjects, or a little planet — in the shape you need.

Try it here

A 360° video is a place, not a picture.

Drag to look around. Pinch or scroll to zoom. This is the same sphere the app puts you in — a photo to start, and two videos a tap away.

Orbit

Your own moments, as a feed.

Orbit is a short-form feed built from your library, not a social network. It surfaces the moments you forgot you had — 360° or not — new and old, one at a time, and every 360° among them is a place you can turn around in.

  • Flick up for the next moment. Drag or tilt to look around the one in front of you.
  • Fresh every time: a weighted shuffle that favors what you haven't seen in a while, and what you marked as a favorite.
  • Nothing here is anyone else's. It's your photos and your videos, on your device, and they stay there.
  • A home-screen widget shows one moment from Orbit and opens the feed on it.

Library

It finds what is already there.

Open Panosphera and your 360° photos, 360° videos and iPhone panoramas are already sorted out from the rest of your library, badged by kind, searchable by date, place and what is in them. No setup.

  • Reads the spherical metadata cameras write, and recognizes 360° footage without it.
  • A Featured moment each day, and a row of top picks chosen on the device.
  • Search runs entirely on the device.
  • Import files straight from a 360° camera — or drop them onto the window on the Mac.

Share as Video

Clips that know where to look.

Share as Video looks for the people and landmarks in a 360° photo or video and, when it finds them, cuts a clip that moves from one to the next, pausing on each. Otherwise it turns the scene for you. Here the 360° photo of a square in Ulm becomes a ten-second clip that settles on the Minster. Pick the shape, the length and the direction, watch the preview, share. Or record the path yourself by looking around while it plays.

  • 9:16 for stories, 1:1 for feeds, 16:9 for everything else.
  • Color managed, so the clip matches what you saw.
  • Stitched panoramas sweep edge to edge, never through the seam.

Little Planet

The whole place in one round picture.

Little Planet folds a 360° photo or video into a disc: the ground in the middle, the horizon a circle, the sky all around. Turn it, tilt it toward the horizon, pinch in on the detail. Share it as a still in any shape, or as a spinning clip, six to twenty seconds long.

  • Every pixel is projected on the fly, so it stays sharp as you zoom and there is no seam.
  • Works on 360° videos too: the planet plays while you turn it.
  • The same sunset as the demo above, seen from directly overhead.
Explore

A library to fill, and places to fill it from.

No 360° camera yet? Explore is a catalog of free 360° scenes you can add in one tap. Poly Haven's CC0 panoramas and the European Southern Observatory's night skies over Chile are browsable in the app itself, sorted into collections — and you can look around any scene full screen before you keep it.

  • Tap Add and the scene lands in your library and your Panosphera album, with where and when it was taken.
  • Each site's license is stated up front. Where one asks for credit, it is written into the picture.
  • Places is a row of live spots to drop into: a picture of each place, with the weather and daylight there.
  • Links to other sites open inside the app, and whatever you save there joins your album when you come back.
  • Added scenes are marked as samples, so they never crowd out your own moments in your picks or Memories.

Share This View

Send the view, not the sphere.

Frame the part of a 360° photo you want, share it as a flat photo at the shape you need. Preview first; retake if you want a different angle.

Memories

Named by the place they happened.

Memories group your 360° moments into events and name them by place and date, using the location your photos already carry. No invented captions.

Captions

Words, on the device.

When a video has speech — 360° or not — Panosphera transcribes it on the device and shows captions as it plays. Nothing is sent anywhere to do it.

iPad and Mac

The same sphere, bigger.

On iPad the library is a sidebar, and a keyboard and trackpad drive the viewer: arrow keys turn, space plays, a two-finger scroll looks around. On the Mac the viewer opens in its own window, the space bar previews a 360° with Quick Look, and a picture drags straight out to the Finder.

TestFlight

Panosphera is in testing now.

If you own a 360° camera, or a library full of panoramas you never look at, we'd like to know what you make of it. Write to support@panosphera.app and tell us the one thing you'd change.

Privacy

Your photos never leave your device.

Panosphera asks for one thing: access to your photos. Everything it does with them happens on the device.
