What's New in Tember
1.0.3
September 12, 2026
A short intro plays the first time you open Tember on an iPhone: the shutter, a swipe to a different film, Compare, and the drawer — ten seconds, skip any time. Watch it again from Help. Eight short guide videos, built into the app. Open Help, or Settings → Guides, to see how the darkroom, the film looks, the adjustments, the camera and Temper work — about a minute each, and they play on your phone without going online. Also on the web at tember.app/guides.

FAQ
What is Tember?
Tember is a photo app that emulates the process of film development in a darkroom. Instead of applying filters, it allows you to capture a neutral image and then develop it using one of thirty emulated film stocks. Your original capture is stored as a negative, so you can re-develop it with different looks at any time.
How does Tember's film emulation work?
Tember captures a deliberately neutral photograph with minimal processing. You then develop this 'negative' under one of thirty emulated film stocks, each representing a different color transform built from measurement. This process provides a print from a negative, rather than a filter applied to a JPEG.
Can I change the film look after taking a photo?
Yes, the negative is kept. Your capture is stored as a negative and can be re-developed every time you change a film stock or adjust settings. You can even come back a year later and develop it differently, as the original sensor frame is always preserved.
Does Tember have ads?
No, Tember does not have advertisements. The app is free to use with a selection of looks, and an optional subscription unlocks the full catalog. The developer prioritizes a clean and uninterrupted user experience.
What are the subscription options for Tember Pro?
Tember Pro offers two subscription plans: a monthly subscription for $1.99 and a yearly subscription for $9.99. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial, allowing you to explore the full catalog of thirty looks before committing.
Is Tember available on Android devices?
Based on the provided data, Tember is built for iPhone and iPad. It features a swipe deck on the phone and a full editing grid with drag-and-drop functionality on iPad, indicating platform-specific optimization for Apple devices.

The latest version of Tember was released on September 12, 2026, with the initial release date being September 2, 2026. This suggests a recent update, and the app is likely to receive further updates for improvements and new features.
What kind of controls does Tember offer?
