Your Creative Process
Your Creative Process

You might love your iPhone's super-smart, AI based image processing, or you might not.

That's why Halide lets you pick your processing — even between shots. Choose from iPhone's default image processing, or reduced processing, or choose Process Zero: a single-shot RAW capture mode that gives you beautiful film-like shots with minimal processing and zero AI right out of the camera.

The new Image Lab lets you re-develop the shot later for different exposures, or you can edit your photo in an image editor with huge flexibility — because Halide saves raw sensor data along with your shot.

WHAT MAKES HALIDE SPECIAL
Halide is the award-winning camera app made by three friends. Here’s what makes it unique.
Designed like a real camera

Halide was designed with our favorite object in mind: the delightfully tactile and beautiful film camera, without compromising on the flexibility and power of mobile photography.

Gestures are modeled after the intuitive manipulation of dials: swiping up and down for exposure, and left and right for focus. The interface is simple and free of clutter, letting you focus on your artistic process.

We pay homage to the design heritage of more than a century of camera design with completely custom typefaces and typography throughout based on etched type on camera bodies and lenses.

Amelia Wang Aka Mayli Your Next Door Whore Full -

Amelia Wang (Mayli) is not trying to be your aspirational idol. She’s trying to be your digital roommate. And in an era of curated perfection, that feels revolutionary. She will make you laugh, teach you a cheap pasta recipe, and then immediately show you the sink full of dishes she’s ignoring.

Recommendation: Subscribe for the chaotic energy. Stay for the surprisingly good movie commentary. Just don’t expect her to remember to edit out the part where she trips over her own cat.

Best Starting Point: “A weekend in my life: I burned dinner, found $20 in an old coat, and watched ‘John Tucker Must Die’ for the 40th time.”

Meet Amelia Wang (aka Mayli) – Your Next‑Door Lifestyle & Entertainment Maven

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to blend everyday charm with a dash of star‑power, look no further. Amelia Wang—better known to her followers as Mayli—has turned her cozy “next‑door” vibe into a full‑throttle lifestyle and entertainment hub that feels both relatable and aspirational. amelia wang aka mayli your next door whore full


Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.5/5) Vibe: Cozy chaos, high-energy comfort, unpolished luxury.

If you’ve ever wished your actual next-door neighbor was a mix between a professional chef, a B-list movie enthusiast, a thrift-flipping wizard, and your most honest friend, Amelia Wang (Mayli) is that digital neighbor.

Mayli has carved out a unique niche in the crowded lifestyle space by rejecting the sterile, perfect aesthetics of traditional influencers. Instead, she offers what she calls “full lifestyle entertainment”—which translates to: cooking, cleaning, crying, celebrating, and everything in between, all in real-time.

Amelia Wang, known affectionately to her millions of followers as "Mayli," started her journey like many creators: with a smartphone, a small apartment, and a big idea. Born in Shanghai and later moving to the West Coast, Wang embodies a unique cultural fusion—bringing Eastern discipline and Western expressiveness to every piece of content she produces. Amelia Wang (Mayli) is not trying to be

But what makes her stand out in a saturated market? The answer lies in her tagline: "Your Next Door Full Lifestyle and Entertainment."

Unlike celebrities who live in gated communities, Mayli films in her cozy kitchen, her slightly messy living room, and the local parks we all recognize. She doesn't sell a fantasy of perfection; she sells the art of enjoying real life.

Mayli has created a fictional universe featuring her "neighbors." We never see their faces, but we hear their drama through her wall. Characters like "Stompy Steve" and "Karen with the Leaf Blower" have become recurring jokes. Every Friday, Mayli posts a "Neighbor Update" that blends storytelling, improv, and relatable ranting.

The "full lifestyle" tag includes food, and Amelia’s cooking show, "Mayli’s Midnight Kitchen," is a viral sensation. Unlike professional chefs who demand precise knife cuts, Mayli burns her fingers, over-salts the pasta, and then shows you how to fix it. Her signature segment, "SOS Dinner," creates gourmet meals using only the three wilted vegetables and half a block of cheese found in a broke person’s fridge. Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4

Ask any fan of Amelia Wang aka Mayli why they are loyal, and they will say the same thing: "She responds." Despite having over 2 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, Mayli personally reads her comments for one hour every evening. She has a "Fan Fix Friday" segment where she solves viewer-submitted problems live.

She has rejected multiple brand deals that didn't align with her "next door" ethos. She turned down a $100,000 gambling app sponsorship because, as she put it, "My neighbors don't need a casino; they need a casserole recipe."

Beyond lifestyle content, Mayli is involved in various entertainment projects. She might engage in:

For those interested in following Mayli's journey or engaging with her content, she is active on various social media platforms. Her profiles are a hub for lifestyle tips, entertainment news, and a glimpse into her daily life. Engaging with her content, whether through likes, comments, or shares, allows fans to be a part of her growing community.
