Cutvey Meter turns an iPhone or iPad into a color meter, exposure and ND calculator, and sun tracker for film work.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

Cutvey Meter combines camera-based color and exposure readings with a film-oriented workflow: a reference light can be compared against a second source, while the calculator solves for ND, ISO, stop, or shutter. Its sun view overlays the path, horizon, compass, and hour markers on the live image. The page also describes an on-device library that retains the frame, lens, device, exposure, and time for each logged reading, with support for iOS 17 or later.
