## What is Grain?

Grain is a camera for people who miss photos that look like photos.

Most phone pictures are built from many frames, smoothed, sharpened and tone-mapped until every scene looks the same. Grain skips all of that. It takes the camera sensor's unprocessed RAW and develops it itself, the way a film lab develops a negative: real texture, natural contrast, no painted-on detail.

PURE PHOTOS
• Unprocessed sensor RAW, developed by Grain: no noise smoothing, no over-sharpening, no "HDR look".
• Brightness matched to what you saw, and purple fringes around bright highlights cleaned up automatically.
• Save the RAW (DNG) next to every photo if you edit later.
• Prefer Apple's processing for a shot? Switch to NORMAL in one tap.
• HEIC or JPEG, with aspect ratios 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 1:1, 21:9 and 65:24.

NIGHT MODE
• In the dark, PURE photos take a burst of RAW frames and merge them into one: far less noise, real detail, no AI.
• Choose Auto, or hold still for 3, 5 or 10 seconds for very dark scenes, or 30 seconds on a tripod.
• Frames shaken by your hand are left out, so night shots stay sharp.
• PURE video at night stays true to colour, without purple casts or the smeared phone look.

FILM LOOKS
• 14 built-in films with their own character: warm golds, soft portrait stocks, punchy chrome, vivid slide, cool tungsten, black and white.
• Swipe across the viewfinder to change film.
• Import your own .cube LUTs, reorder films, and tune every one: strength, grain, halation, bloom, black lift, fade, colour, vignette, light leaks and more.
• What you see in the viewfinder is what you get in the photo.

PURE VIDEO
• Video built from the camera's RAW frames, developed by Grain with your film look, at 24 or 30 fps.
• NORMAL video when you want Apple's processing, with stabilization, up to 4K at 60 fps.
• 16:9, 21:9, 65:24 and 4:3 open gate.

MANUAL CONTROL
• Shutter, ISO, exposure, white balance and focus, each with its own dial.
• Focus peaking shows what is sharp while you focus by hand.
• Tap to focus, then slide to brighten or darken, like the built-in camera.
• Histogram, zebras, rule-of-thirds grid and a self-timer.
• Every lens on your iPhone, plus extra focal lengths like 28, 35 or 50 mm, labelled with their real 35 mm equivalents. Pick the one Grain opens with.
• Review your latest shots in Grain's own viewer, with pinch to zoom.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. Grain never connects to the internet. Your photos, videos, films and settings stay on your iPhone.

Free, with no in-app purchases.
