Exciting! I needed this last week, and now here it is. Thanks.

I share the annoyance about phone detection previees over-promising. But I'm pleased this comes with perspective correction and lighting correction together.

Fixed this on main. The macOS build linked against Homebrew's libwebp by absolute path but never bundled it, so it only ran on machines that happened to have it installed. The build now copies all non-system dylibs into the app and rewrites the install names, and fails if any absolute reference survives.

That seems pretty reasonable! It's also AGPL licensed and the source code is available on GitHub. 20 minutes with an LLM would likely yield you a nagware-free version if you value your time at less than $21/hour. Otherwise it costs just $7 to pay Adrian for their good work!

Why, when I could use an AI to both detect the corners and write+run a completely free ad-hoc script to fix the perspective.
