## What is Arshes?

Arshes is a camera app — and a platform where users create and publish effects and filters.

Effects are shader programs written in Slang, transforming your camera feed in real time with total freedom. 
Filters are presets of familiar color grading parameters: exposure, white balance, contrast, and more.

Combine effects and filters published by other users, and capture photos and videos of every kind.

FEATURES

• Community Effects & Filters — Browse and use effects and filters published by other users, and favorite the ones you love.
• Live Effect Camera — Apply effects and filters to your camera feed in real time, and capture photos and videos with the look baked in.
• Create Effects — Write your own effects in the Slang shader language right on your device, with live camera preview.
• Create Filters — Build your own color grades: exposure, white balance, contrast, HSL color mixer, and more.
• Publish — Put your effects and filters out there for everyone to shoot with.
• Gallery — Browse and manage captured photos and videos, with effect parameters saved and restorable.
• Remote Editor — Edit effect code from your computer using "arshes-cli".
• Widgets — Quick access from your home screen.
• Camera tools — Tap to focus, manual white balance, grid, level, and histogram. Display P3 and HEIF support.

### 1.20.0 — 2026-10-07

Improvements

- Refined spacing and colors across the app

Bug Fixes
- Fixed AR effects drifting from the camera image when digital zoom is not 1x

Breaking Changes
- invViewMatrix and invProjectionMatrix are now passed in row order. Transform vectors with mul(matrix, vector); shaders that used mul(vector, matrix) need to be updated.
