Two independent photography apps

Ruta Meter.
Ruta Foto.
Use either. Connect both.

Ruta Meter measures light. Ruta Foto organises places and photographic ideas. Each app is useful by itself; together they preserve the complete story of a photograph, from exposure to location.

Optional connection

Two complete apps.
One stronger workflow.

You never need both apps. But when both are installed, Ruta Meter can pass a saved exposure report to Ruta Foto so the technical reading stays beside the location and the photographic idea.

Measure

Use Ruta Meter to read the scene and save film, EI, aperture, shutter, annotations and optional GPS.

Connect

Send one report, or link a film roll so Shots wait locally without taking you away from the meter.

Remember

Ruta Foto keeps the report beside your map location, field notes and plan for a future visit.
