Just shoot photos with Phlow and edit them as you normally would. All changes sync back to that file in Photos App. * PRO (RAW) CAMERA: No Fusion. No Jpgs (unless you want them)… The heart of Phlow is our raw camera.

Whether you're looking for a vintage effect, polaroid style vibe, or subtle film effect, we have you covered. * INTERVAL CAMERA (SELF TIMER): Solo content creators rejoice! Our beautiful interval camera allows you to take up to 30 photos in your desired interval timing (a photo every 2, 3, 5, 10 seconds etc). * UNRIVALED PRO PHOTO & VIDEO FILTERS AND PRESETS (SETS): Quality over everything. We've perfected the art of color grading to make your life easier. Simple, stunning, and mistakable for film.
