I'm a solo developer based in Japan, and I built Encadra because I kept seeing the same problem: resellers on Depop, Poshmark, eBay, and Etsy photograph dozens of products every day, and after every single shot they crop, save, and upload. The marketplaces all want different ratios — 1:1, 4:5, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16 — and even when your camera has the right ratio, you still crop afterward. It adds up to hours of repetitive work. Encadra removes that step entirely. You choose a ratio, a white frame shows exactly what gets saved, and when you tap the shutter the photo is complete. No cropping, no editing app, no extra steps. I built it with Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform, sharing about 90% of the code between Android and iOS while keeping native camera access (CameraX on Android, AVFoundation on iOS). All processing happens on the device — no account, no ads, no analytics, no photos leaving the phone. The Pro upgrade is $6.99 lifetime, not a subscription. Resellers are running small businesses, and a camera app is a utility — there's no ongoing cost on my side, so a subscription didn't feel right. I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially on the KMP/CMP approach for camera apps. It's not the most common choice, but the code reuse has been worth it.

Launching Monday Sept 28 — Encadra: see the save frame before you shoot

I'm a solo developer from Japan. Encadra shows you exactly what gets saved before you press the shutter, so marketplace resellers on Depop, Poshmark, and eBay can skip the crop-and-save step entirely.

Free on both App Store and Google Play. Launching here Monday would love your thoughts.
