About

Your videos, back on tape. Retro Tape turns the videos already in your Photo Library into home movies. It sorts them into tapes by year, lines them up on a shelf, and plays them on a 90s TV/VCR with a real VHS look: tracking wobble, color bleed, tape noise and the date burned into the corner. Pick a year, slide the tape into the VCR and press play. Clips from that year play one after another, oldest first, the way they would on a tape you recorded yourself. PLAY IT LIKE A TAPE • A tape for every year, plus one for videos without a date • Rewind and fast-forward through a clip at 2×, 4×, 8× and 16×, with the picture scrubbing like a real deck • Shuffle, pause and eject from a remote that keeps the TV in view • Watch fullscreen, or flip to Original to compare with the clean video at the same moment • VCR sounds and haptics on every key, with switches to turn them off CHOOSE YOUR LOOK • Light: a gentle, clean tape • Classic: the tape you remember • Worn: more grain, color bleed and tracking glitches • Show or hide the date stamp while you watch MAKE YOUR OWN TAPES • Build custom tapes from any videos you choose, in any order: a trip, a birthday, a year of firsts • Each custom tape gets a cover made from one of its videos • Light and Dark rooms that follow your iPhone, or pick one yourself RETRO TAPE PRO Keep the look. Make it yours. • Export clips with the VHS look and date stamp, saved to Photos or shared anywhere • Seven nostalgic objects to decorate your shelf • Your own photo in a frame on the shelf • Your photos on custom tape covers YOUR VIDEOS STAY YOURS Retro Tape applies the effect on your iPhone.
