A film point and shoot that keeps the negative.

Load a film, frame, press the shutter. The look develops onto your shot the moment you take it, and the untouched DNG negative rides along in the same photo. You see the print when it lands in your library, like getting the roll back.

No dials, no filters, no editing homework. Your photos stay on your phone.

Why

One tap, two photos

Every shutter press saves a developed JPEG print and a pristine Bayer RAW negative as one photo in your library. The look is baked into the print. The negative is never touched.

The film is the camera

The loaded film's box speed sets the ISO and white balance is locked to daylight, because film does not adapt. Tungsten goes warm, dusk goes gold, shade goes cool. The cast arrives with the print.

Films, not filters

Every film in the shop has its own chemistry. Grain, halation, and tone come from real film behavior, and each look develops at full quality on the saved print.

Pricing

Free

Free with a film loaded. More films are 99 cents each, yours forever.

Questions

What iPhone do I need?
iOS 17 or later, on an iPhone whose camera supports RAW capture. The shutter only fires when a real RAW is possible.
Do I need an account?
No account, no cloud, no analytics. Photos go straight to your library and films are purchased through the App Store.
Why does the viewfinder look plain?
On purpose. The viewfinder is clean glass for composing. The look exists only in the print, the way film only shows itself after the lab.
