About

Hay Cam is a retro film camera built for iPhone. Every frame you see in the viewfinder is the frame you keep — colors, grain, halation, light leaks, and timestamp burn-in are rendered live with Metal, never tacked on as a filter. WHY HAY CAM Most "vintage" camera apps stack filters on top of a normal photo. Hay Cam doesn't. The film look is part of the capture pipeline, so what you frame is what you get. Tap the shutter and you hear a real leaf-shutter click, feel a haptic pulse, and get a full-resolution photo saved straight to your library. LIVE FILM LOOKS • Authentic 3D LUT color grading from classic film stocks • Halation — that warm red glow on highlights, just like real film • Optional date burn-in (90s camcorder style) SHOOT LIKE A REAL CAMERA • Camera personas: Film 35mm, VHS, CCD, Polaroid-style chrome • Lens focal lengths: 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm equivalents • Manual ISO and shutter speed with live readout • Exposure compensation strip (EV bias) • Tap to focus and lock exposure • Front and back cameras, hardware flash plus screen flash for selfies • Portrait orientation, optimized for one-hand shooting SENSORY DETAILS • Real leaf-shutter sound effect • Haptic pulse on capture • Mechanical viewfinder UI with retro fonts • Splash and shutter animations tuned for that "real camera" feel HAY CAM PRO Hay Cam offers an optional auto-renewable subscription.
