## What is AfterTape?

Everyone else made a filter. We made a memory camera.

AfterTape isn't an effect you add later — it's a camcorder that records the look and sound of a real vintage tape, live, as you shoot. What you see in the viewfinder is exactly what gets saved. No editing, no exporting, no guesswork.

Point it at today's moments and they come out already feeling remembered.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• Baked in live — the grain, the color, the soft blur, the tape hiss: all recorded into the video AND the audio at capture. Not a preview you apply later. The real thing.
• The look is in the sound, too. Every camera has its own audio character — muffled home tape, tinny security cam, clean digital.
• Your own Memories library — every tape you shoot is kept, not thrown away after one share. Come back and relive them anytime.
• Feels like a real device — a tactile camcorder you actually operate, down to the record light and the zoom rocker.
• Buy once. No subscription, ever. No ads. Nothing leaves your phone.

14 CAMERAS, ONE FOR EVERY MEMORY
From the family VHS-C camcorder and the Hi8 holiday tape to a MiniDV baby video, a lobby security feed, faded home tapes, black-and-white, selective-color looks, and rich film-style color grades — there's a camera for every mood.

CRASH-SAFE BY DESIGN
Your recording is protected every half-second, so a crash, a dead battery, or an incoming call can never cost you the shot.

FREE TO START
Shoot with two full cameras for free. A single one-time purchase unlocks every camera, every effect, video import, and removes the corner mark — no subscription, ever.
Capture now. Relive later.
