From the bottom of the description on apps.apple.com:
SUBSCRIPTION
• Free tier: 10 images, common ratios, JPEG & PNG export
• Premium: Unlock all 500 images, 9 formats, 15 ratios, and pro tools
• Plans: Weekly ($2.99) · Monthly ($6.99) · Yearly ($39.99)latest version is one time purchase now
trying to keep it simple and local, no uploads and no ongoing fees
I get why the previous subscription option would still appear, but I'm not sure why the one-time option wouldn't be appearing. Maybe not enough transactions on it yet?

Also, oddly, this post highlights “no subscription” about their project but the App Store page shows several subscriptions and that the app actually costs $40 a year?
on pricing, that is fair callout, older versions had subscription and App Store listing might still show that depending on update or region I recently moved it to one time purchase because it makes more sense for this kind of tool
still figuring things out as I go
I am shipping it now, but still treating it like a tool I use myself first and improving it based on real use
not trying to compete with big tools, more like filling that gap when you have a specific workflow that does not fit well anywhere
This is the OG enshittification.
Software quality is declining because people don't have the same problems anymore. They've become so detached from their true desires and learned to cope with their walled garden ecosystems. If their iPhone doesn't do it they just pretend it's not possible.
(and what advantage does it have over using `magick`?)
I think where I struggled was when the set is mostly similar but still needs small per photo tweaks writing new commands or rerunning pipeline for small changes felt a bit heavy
I wanted something more interactive where I can adjust visually, apply to many, then still tweak few without starting over
