## What is SAGIKA?

Point, shoot, and it already looks like film.

SAGIKA opens right into a live filtered viewfinder, so the retro look is baked in the moment you tap the shutter. No editing homework, no filter guessing. Just that grainy old-phone, disposable-cam, CCD-flash feeling you've been chasing.

The name comes from Korean slang: 사기 (sagi) is what people say when something is unfairly good. That's the target.

69 LOOKS, 11 MOODS (OLD PHONE, Y2K & CINEMA PACKS FREE)
Swipe through curated packs and find your whole vibe in seconds:
- Old Phone, that soft, low-fi grainy cellphone-cam look
- Y2K, punchy 2000s digicam flash
- Diary, warm daily-journal and city-walk tones
- Gyaru, glowy Heisei/Reiwa look with a gentle light touch (color and light only)
- Hakanai, dreamy soft white haze
- Toumei, clear translucent blue for summer portraits
- Youth, after-school emo film
- Liminal, quiet empty-space dreamcore
- Konbini Night, convenience-store neon glow
- Poetcore, aged paper, books and letters

CAMERA THAT FEELS LIKE FILM
- Live filtered viewfinder, what you see is what you save
- Burst shooting, tap the shutter again and again and it keeps up
- Front camera selfie mode, mirrored so it looks right
- Self-timer, grid, silent shutter and flash
- Aspect ratios and film frames
- Retro date stamp for that timestamped-photo era
- Lens chips, pinch zoom and tap to focus

REAL ANALOG TEXTURE
Add just enough imperfection to feel real:
- Film grain
- Halation and soft glow
- Light leaks
- Dust and scratches
- Vignette
Every shot is seeded on its own, so no two exports come out identical.

FINE-TUNE WHEN YOU WANT
Dial filter strength, or open the full editor for manual control over exposure, contrast, saturation, temperature, tint, highlights, shadows, sharpness, fade and vignette. Press and hold anytime to compare before and after.

SAVE YOUR OWN RECIPES
Found a combo you love? Save it to MY and reuse it in one tap. Build a signature look that's yours.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
