About
Islet turns your iPhone into a retro instant camera — and your Dynamic Island into the slot the photo prints from.
Frame your shot, press the big red shutter, and watch a polaroid slide out of the top of your screen, develop, and drop into your gallery. It's the unmistakable ritual of instant film, rebuilt natively for iPhone.
FILM LOOKS, DONE RIGHT
• Ten hand-tuned looks inspired by real stocks — Kodak Gold, Portra, Fuji, Velvia, Polaroid 600, mono, sepia and more.
• A GPU film engine (Metal) adds true split-toning, tone curves and grain — not a flat overlay.
• Dial any look up or down with an intensity slider, and your favourites so they're always first.
• VSCO-grade grain, light leaks and a warm vignette — toggle them per shot.
A REAL CAMERA UNDERNEATH
• Tap to focus, drag for exposure, pinch through every lens your iPhone has (0.5× / 1× / tele).
• Front and back cameras, true flash, and a self-timer.
• Long-exposure mode for silky motion and light trails.
• 4-up photobooth mode for a classic strip.
• Aspect ratios and frame styles: classic white, cream, black border, Instax.
KEEPSAKES, NOT JUST FILES
• Every print lands in a tactile gallery you can flip through.
• Attach a voice memo to a photo — the sound of the moment.
• "On this day" memories resurface old shots.
• A home-screen widget shows your latest print.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account. No ads. No tracking. No network.
• Your photos stay on your device unless you choose to Save or Share them.
Islet is GEN 1. Load some film and start shooting.
