What's next

Updated July 24, 2026

One person builds Focal Click, so this page says what is actually being worked on and why, without dates. Shipped work goes to what's new.

Native apps for Mac, iPhone and iPad

The Studio develops your raw files on your own camera, over a USB cable, in the browser. That only works where the browser is allowed to talk to USB, and two large groups are shut out.

No browser on an iPhone or iPad can talk to USB, and Apple does not offer a way around it. Windows is a different wall: it installs its own camera driver and keeps hold of the camera, so a browser never gets to open it. In both cases there is nothing to fix in the site itself.

So a native app is planned, starting with Mac, iPhone and iPad, reusing the same Studio you already use here. On an iPhone it means plugging the camera into the phone and developing raw files with the camera's own processor, in the field, with no computer involved.

I have not started building it, and I would rather say that than show a date I cannot keep. Windows is honestly unsolved: an app could fix it there too, but that is a separate piece of work and I am not promising it yet. Until then, developing in the browser works on a Mac, on Linux and on Android, and Fujifilm's own X RAW STUDIO is the option on a Windows PC.

Hearing when it lands

There is no waiting list for it. If you have an account, turn on product-update email in settings and you will hear when it ships. If a native app is the thing you have been waiting for, or you want it on Windows, tell me. What people ask for moves the order things get built in.
