ZPTH

Your iPhone's depth camera as a living visual instrument — now 30 real-time depth modes, an audio-reactive Pulsar synth, and NDI streaming to your desktop. iPhone only.

Turn your iPhone's depth camera into a living visual instrument. 30 different depth based effects.

ZPTH reads the depth in front of you — with the front TrueDepth camera or, on Pro models, the rear LiDAR scanner — and paints it in real time. Point it at a face, a room, or your hand and watch the depth become light, contour lines, plasma, chrome, a field of living cells, or pixel-art dither. Capture a photo or record a video, straight to your Photos library. No network, no account, no setup. Everything runs on the device.

CREATOR MODE (Pro) Make your own depth mode. Begin with an empty depth field and stack effect layers grouped by function — texture, lighting, lines, edge, colour and bloom. Each layer has its own controls, multiplier, opacity and blend mode, so you can mix any effects together. Shape how they fall through near/far depth, import a photo as a depth-projected tileset, then save your creation as a named custom mode and reuse it whenever you like.

NDI STREAMING (Pro) Turn on NDI in Settings to broadcast your live preview to NDI receivers — OBS, TouchDesigner, vMix and more — on your local network, turning your iPhone into a depth-camera source for your desktop. Off by default; a Wired mode over USB-C lowers latency.

CAPTURE • Tap the shutter for a photo. • Switch between normal and effect cameras instantly • Hold and swipe up to record video. • Everything saves to your Photos library. • Double-tap the camera to switch between 3:4 and full-screen 9:16. • Browse and jump between modes with the on-camera mode switcher.

PRO ZPTH Pro is a one-time $2 purchase — no subscription. It unlocks every visual mode's settings, the colour maps, all presets, and Creator Mode. The app is free to explore: every mode is preview-able with its first preset, and the universal LiDAR presets are free to use.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no servers, no analytics, no tracking. Your camera frames are processed on the device and never leave it unless you choose to save a photo or video to your own library.

REQUIREMENTS An iPhone with a front TrueDepth camera or a rear LiDAR scanner (iPhone X and later with Face ID; rear LiDAR on Pro models). iPhone only.
