## What is Patchd?

Patchd turns your camera, photos, and video clips into experimental visual media. Explore a growing collection of real-time mini-apps for live camera FX, depth, segmentation, object detection, masks, trails, glitches, pixels, and generative graphics.

LIVE CAMERA MINI-APPS
Transform camera input as it happens. Explore Blob Cam, Face Depth, Object Find, Pixx, ASCII Edge, Color Lift, DST Curl, Body Trail, Puzzle, Ink, Grid Delay, Pixelate, Motion Trail, Shadertation, and more.

RE-PATCH ANY CLIP
Import or record a short clip, choose an effect, preview the result, and render a new output. Use export presets for popular formats or keep the original frame size.

PHOTO & COMPOSE
Apply shader-style effects, masks, and overlays to still images. Build short visual sequences from multiple mini-apps with streamlined creative presets.

MADE FOR FAST EXPLORATION
Browse by category, search effects, watch preview videos, save favorites, and quickly return to recently used mini-apps.

Camera frames, imported photos and videos, and rendered outputs are processed on your device and are not uploaded by Patchd.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.6 — 2026-08-07

This update brings a smoother after-recording experience, sharper Object Blob labels, and more reliable screen recording on iPad. Visual controls are now clearer, with Speed and Tempo shown only when they affect the result. We’ve also improved the interface and overall stability.

### 1.3.5 — 2026-08-03

Version 1.3.5 introduces two new visual mini-apps:
• Face Caster transforms your eyes, nose, and mouth into moving Terminal, classic Mac, and Windows-style frames, each with its own randomized visual effect.
• Object Blob detects foreground objects and turns their black silhouettes into animated Blob networks while keeping the original camera view around them.
• In RePatch, Object Blob adds an optional timed Pink Green flash. Adjust the interval to shape the rhythm.
• Improved Blob Body rendering and smoother Flow modulation.
• Better iPad interactions and additional stability fixes.
