Features
Read full description

WaybackCam is a camera that takes you back to the early-2000s digital era. Pick a device. Frame your shot through its tiny pixelated LCD. Watch the world get filtered through 18-bit color, posterized, and squished onto an old phone or digicam screen. Six classic devices, each with its own look: • M*torola *azr V3 (2004) — the flip phone everyone had • i*od Nano 5G (2009) — three colors, clickwheel chrome • Ga*e B*y Camera (1998) — 4-shade green, swappable palette • Casi* QV-10 (1995) — the first consumer digital camera • S*ny DSC-T1 (2003) — slim ultra-portable • L* Ch*colate VX8500 (2006) — the slider you'd flip out Two export modes: keep the device frame and blurred backdrop, or just the viewfinder content. Pinch to zoom, hardware volume button to capture, swipe through your gallery, share straight from the app. WaybackCam is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the brands depicted. Devices are stylized references for nostalgia.
