Caleta is a camera with its own colors, made to keep light the way you remember it. Shoot with Sol, Cruz, and Luna; adjust intensity without changing the original; and turn every photo into a card or collage ready to save and share. Zoom, focus, the editor, Bone paper, and the Brisa theme are free. Caleta+ unlocks every color in the catalog, grouped into five palettes by medium (Digital, Negative, Slide, Monochrome, and Instant); it also includes five card papers (Cobalt, Palma, Cal, Coral, and Black), three pastel themes with their alternate icons, photo import, full-resolution processed exports without a card, and removing the signature from the card. Choose an annual plan or a lifetime purchase. Your photos stay yours. There are no accounts, analytics, or ads. Capture and editing happen on your iPhone. Location is optional and only adds a place name; you decide what to save or share. Caleta+ yearly: a 1-year auto-renewing subscription, USD 12.99 per year (reference price; the final price is the one shown for your territory on the App Store). Caleta+ lifetime: a one-time purchase of USD 29.99.
