• Halide — This is the camera app I use the most often nowadays with my iPhone XS.
• Obscura 2 — This is a great app created by Ben Rice McCarthy, a wonderful photographer and indie developer.
• Darkroom — This is a very easy to use RAW editing app for iOS! I use it all the time when I'm not using Lightroom.

My continuity plan is still a work in progress, but I discuss some thoughts I have about the tools that can help you implement one, especially as a small business or solo business owner. Bonus! Using these tools will make your day-to-day life easier.
