How can we help?

iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 and later, and Macs with Apple silicon running macOS 26 or later. It’s one app with the same tools everywhere.

Tap the import button in the library. It offers your Photos library, files on the device or in iCloud Drive, and whatever image is on the clipboard. You can also drop files onto the library window, or send them to masoc from another app’s share sheet. RAW files and videos are welcome.

No. masoc keeps its own copy of everything you import, so editing never touches your originals. Your edited version goes back to Photos only when you export it.

Yes. Pick a look from the Look entry in the import menu first, then the source. Every photo of that batch lands with the look applied.

Open Settings › Help & Tips in the app. It explains the library, the editor, masks, looks and export, and on Mac and iPad also the keyboard shortcuts.

Press and hold anywhere on the photo to see the untouched original. Let go and your edit returns. On Mac, hold the space bar.

Double-tap the slider, or tap the small reset arrow beside its name. Press and hold the number to type an exact value.

While dragging, move your finger up or down away from the track. The steps get finer the further out you go, a little like a Digital Crown.

A mask limits an edit to part of the photo. masoc finds the subject or the sky for you, or you draw one with a brush, a linear or a radial gradient. Add regions to extend a mask or subtract them to cut a hole.

Yes. Undo and redo cover every change in the editing session, masks and tools included.

Yes. Import .xmp presets from the Looks manager, drop them onto the library, or send them to masoc from another app. Settings without a counterpart in masoc are skipped rather than approximated.

Yes. masoc reads .cube LUT files. They sit beside the built-in looks and work on photos and videos alike.

Save the current edit as a preset from the editor. You choose which parts it carries, so a preset can hold only the color work and leave exposure alone.

Yes. Presets export as .masoc files for other masoc users, or as .xmp to open them in Lightroom. Imported profiles export again as .cube.

Describe a change in your own words, like “warmer and a little brighter”, and Smart Edit turns it into real slider settings you can still adjust yourself. You can type or speak.

Smart Edit needs a device that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings. Right after turning it on, the model may still be downloading. Once it’s ready, Smart Edit appears under Tools in the editor.

Dictation needs access to the microphone and to speech recognition. Allow both for masoc in Settings › Apps › masoc on iPhone and iPad, or in System Settings › Privacy & Security on Mac. Typing always works.

No. Speech is transcribed on the device and Apple Intelligence works on the device. Your words and recordings are not stored.

Turn on iCloud Sync in Settings › iCloud on each device signed in to the same Apple Account. Choose whether presets and profiles, photos and videos sync.

Yes. Synced photos and videos count against your iCloud storage, videos can take a lot of it. Built-in profiles are part of the app and are never uploaded.

Choose Download When Needed in Settings › iCloud. Previews stay on the device, and an original comes down when you open, export or merge it.

With Download When Needed, some originals live only in iCloud. Connect to the internet and open the photo again, or choose Keep All to keep every original on the device.

In Settings › iCloud, delete a category from iCloud. This turns syncing off for it on all your devices, and everything on each device stays there.

HEIC, JPEG or PNG, or the original format. For HEIC and JPEG you set the quality yourself.

To your Photos library, to Files, or straight into a share sheet. Filenames keep the original or follow a name you choose.

Yes. Location, camera details and the date can each be left out of the exported file.

masoc needs permission to add photos to your library. Allow it in Settings › Apps › masoc › Photos on iPhone and iPad, or in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Photos on Mac.

Yes. Exports run in the background. A small pill shows the progress and the time left, and you can cancel from there.

masoc is free to download, and every tool works without paying. Your first three exports are free as well. After that, Unlock masoc lets you export as much as you like, monthly, yearly or once for good.

Every photo or video that leaves masoc, whether to Photos, to Files or through the share sheet. It counts only once it has arrived, so a cancelled export costs nothing. A photo exported as Original is your untouched camera file and never counts.

Yes. Purchases belong to your Apple Account and unlock masoc on every iPhone, iPad and Mac signed in to it. All three plans work with Family Sharing.

Open Settings › Unlock masoc and tap Restore Purchases. Make sure you’re signed in with the Apple Account you bought masoc with. If a purchase waits for approval through Ask to Buy, masoc unlocks as soon as it’s approved.

Open Settings › Unlock masoc and tap Manage Subscription, or manage it in your Apple Account settings. Cancel at least 24 hours before it renews. masoc stays unlocked until the end of the period you paid for.

Every tool keeps working, and your photos and edits stay right where they are. Exporting then needs an unlock again, apart from any free exports you haven’t used yet.

Purchases are made through the App Store, so refunds are handled by Apple. You can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.

masoc keeps a short report on the device. Open Settings › Feedback & Diagnostics, tap Report a Problem and leave Attach Problem Reports on. Reports hold no photos, no file names and no places.

Write in with Report a Problem from Settings › Feedback & Diagnostics, and describe the photo: camera, file type and what you changed. The attached report shows which step failed.

Turn on Share With App Developers in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements. iOS then sends crash reports to the developer without anything identifying you.
