About
This camera app offers real-time analog film simulations, applying effects like grain and halation directly during capture. It provides extensive control over visual elements and allows users to save and recall custom looks for both photos and videos.
What's New in mono+
1.5
July 7, 2026
mono+ 1.5 is the largest update since launch. Manual Exposure Direct control over shutter speed, ISO, and focus — independently, in any combination. S locks the shutter (1/500 to 1/15), Fixed ISO locks sensitivity (400 to 3200), F locks focus at the current lens position. Any combination is valid. Activating S or ISO switches to the physical wide-angle sensor; the full multi-lens system restores when both return to AUTO. The PRO Panel Six tiles: LOOK (Tone, Texture, Tilt-Shift), COLOR (Shadow and Highlight Tone, Print Tone presets), DECAY (Light, Texture, Color Effects), FRAME (Ratio, Border), OVERLAYS (Grid, Level, Histogram, Focus Peak, Zebra — viewfinder only), SETTINGS (your look library and the gear icon for System Settings). System Settings covers Text on Frame (Watermark with favorites strip, Text Overlay with color picker, Date Stamp), Film Data on Frame (Exposure ID, Film Stock), Location, Photo Booth, and Output. Borders Instant (forces square), Instant Black (forces square), Aged (forces square), Black, White, None. Custom PNG borders from the Companion with transparency preserved. System Presets Four factory looks: STREET, PAPARAZZI, POP, FADE. Long-press to remove; restores on Reset All Settings. ProRAW 48MP DNG capture on iPhone 12 Pro or later. One capture in flight at a time — the shutter badge shows processing state. The DNG carries the complete look as embedded LookDNA for finishing in the Companion. Mac Companion Four launch entry points. Look library with status dots, Expand/Collapse All, batch delete. Import look from any JPEG, HEIC, or DNG shot with mono+. DNG finishing with Temperature, Tint, and Exposure working on raw sensor data before the look applies. TIFF and JPEG export with configurable border inclusion. LookDNA Every capture embeds the complete look recipe in EXIF metadata. Travels through AirDrop and iCloud Photos. The Companion reads it directly from a dropped file.
