Features

• Material Design 3 & Material You — fluid UI with 10 dynamic accent colors and Light/Dark modes
• Matugen System Sync — synchronizes the app theme directly with system wallpaper colors from the local qt6ct Matugen setup
• Dynamic Capture Theming — extracts dominant colors from captured photos in real-time to dynamically theme the camera interface
• Camera Controls — aspect ratio locking (4:3, 16:9, 1:1), toggleable composition grid, manual exposure compensation (EV)
• Timer & Flash — self-timer (3s and 10s countdown) and a full-screen high-brightness white overlay software flash
• Digital Zoom — smooth digital zoom (1.0x to 8.0x) mapped to automatic C++ image cropping and upscaling (QImage)
• In-App Media Gallery — bottom sheet media carousel with a metadata inspector, asset deletion, and external viewer fallback
• Deep-Link Integration — integrations via milfs-connect to announce captured media and deep-link preview thumbnails directly into Kader
