Open Camera

If you want a camera app that gives you more control, more features, and better image quality without paying for premium tools, Open Camera is one of the best open-source options available. Designed for both casual users and photography enthusiasts, it offers a rich set of manual controls, advanced shooting modes, and customization options — all inside a clean, lightweight interface.

Open Camera supports manual focus, ISO, exposure, white balance, HDR, grid overlays, external microphones, and even remote controls. Whether you're capturing quick moments or shooting professional content, it delivers sharp results and smooth performance with no ads or unnecessary permissions.

This app is a perfect replacement for stock camera apps, especially on devices where manual photography features are limited or unavailable. And because it’s open-source, users get full transparency and continuous community-driven improvements.
