Roadmap

Aphera is in active development, with a new release every two weeks. We don’t commit to release dates for new features — good things take time — but we recognize that each photographer has a few tools they just can’t live without. This roadmap covers some of the bigger things we have planned, so you can judge whether Aphera fits how you work. Along the way you’ll see bug fixes, polish, and changes that come straight from community feedback.

Buying Aphera gives you one year of updates — that’s everything on this list.

Working on it

Estimated Q4 2026

Improved Denoise

Better results in low light and at high ISO. We’re building a next-generation denoise engine that preserves real detail while clearing away noise, replacing what’s in the app today.

Looks Management

Save, organize, and apply your own edit presets across shoots. We’re building a proper home for your looks so your style travels with you from one project to the next.

Next up

Estimated Q1 2027

Apple Photos Support

Many of you keep your library in Apple Photos. We’re building direct support so you can bring those photos into Aphera without duplicating files or breaking the organization you already have.

Dust Removal

Sensor dust catches up with every photographer eventually. We’re building automatic dust and spot detection with one-click removal. Cleaning up a whole shoot should take seconds instead of hours spotting every frame by hand.

Planned

Timing TBD

Masking / Local Edits

We’re still figuring out how these tools will fit into Aphera but we’re eager to find out.

iOS App

Trust us, we want to use Aphera on the phone as much as anyone.

Catalog

A unified view across all of your Aphera projects, but without the lock-in? Yes.
