The Immersive apps are my collection of focused iOS projects: Immersive Album for revisiting a photo library, Immersive Border for framing one image, Immersive Collage for arranging several photos, and Immersive Words for Chinese-speaking learners of English. Immersive Card is a separate text-card project currently presented here as a development preview.
I am JustSong, the developer behind these projects. This guide explains what each one does so you can start with the task you actually want to complete.
Which Immersive app should you choose?
| Your task | Project | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Rediscover photographs you have not viewed in a while | Immersive Album | Photo browsing guide |
| Give one photograph a border or decorative frame | Immersive Border | Photo framing guide |
| Put several photographs on one canvas | Immersive Collage | Collage workflow |
| Study English vocabulary with Chinese explanations | Immersive Words / 沉浸单词 | Learner guide |
| Turn short writing into a visual card | Immersive Card | Development preview |
A photo workflow from discovery to a finished image
Start with Immersive Album when you do not yet know which picture you want. Its random browsing sequence can bring an old moment back into view; capture-time browsing lets you explore the photographs around it.
Once you find an image, decide what you want to make. If one photograph tells the story, Immersive Border provides white borders and decorative styles around it. If the story needs several images, Immersive Collage gives you a canvas for arranging them together.
This is a suggested workflow using your photo library and normal saving or sharing actions. It does not imply an automatic project handoff between the apps.
Different purchasing models for different tools
Immersive Border offers free standard export and an optional one-time Pro purchase for higher-quality export. Immersive Album offers a one-time purchase for all advanced filters. Immersive Collage offers monthly and annual Pro subscriptions as well as a lifetime option.
Check each app's store page and purchase screen for the current price and exact entitlement. A purchase for one project should not be assumed to unlock the others.
A note for English-speaking readers
The photo apps have English descriptions in the US App Store. Immersive Words is more specific: its current interface and explanations are in Simplified Chinese, with English vocabulary and bilingual example sentences. It suits people who use Chinese while studying English, including Chinese-speaking learners overseas. It is not currently an English-only vocabulary experience.
Immersive Card is described separately as a preview because I could not verify its US public listing at the time of writing. Keeping that distinction visible makes this overview useful even while individual projects are at different release stages.

Common questions
Are these one app or separate apps? They are separate projects, each centered on a particular task.
Does the photo workflow require uploading my pictures to you? The current photo-app listings describe on-device processing and no media uploads to a developer server. Album and Border may use Apple's system geocoder to display a place name from existing photo coordinates.
Where can I learn the actual steps? Follow the individual guides in the table. Each separates the main workflow, relevant purchase details, and practical limitations.
