Kino was released earlier this year by Lux, the makers of the popular iPhone camera app Halide.
Other notable finalists include NYT Games for the iPhone, Procreate Dreams for the iPad, Zoom for the Apple TV, NBA for the Apple Vision Pro, and more.
Apple said the winner of each category will be announced in the coming weeks. More details about each app can be found in Apple's announcement.
