Show HN: Night Vision App for iPhone Now Offers Free Basic Features

Big news! The basic features of Night Vision App are now completely free — only the advanced tools require a one-time purchase.

It used to be a paid app, but now the basic night vision preview is free for everyone. Pro features still require a one-time purchase. Thanks for your support!

Recent Updates:

1⃣ Fully optimized for iOS 26 with the new Liquid Glass design

2⃣ Enhanced night vision performance

The idea for Night Vision App actually came from a moment of curiosity. When I first got my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I noticed a mysterious little dot beneath the rear camera — the LiDAR sensor. I suddenly wondered: could it be used to see in the dark? If LiDAR could be used to map out a scene, maybe real night vision could become possible.

That’s how Night Vision App was born. It combines the iPhone’s LiDAR scanner and TrueDepth camera to create detailed low-light imaging — turning your phone into a professional-grade night vision device.

If you have an iPhone Pro model, I highly recommend giving it a try.
