XP4N vs taeppl

Based on the legendary XPAN with its unique cinematic panoramic 65x24 images, XP4N turns any scene into a movie set; every shot into a movie still. - Shoot in the amazing 65:24 cinematic aspect ratio - Simulate 8 distinct film types (some inspired by popular film types, such as Cinestill 800T) - NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS, NO IN-APP-PURCHASES! - Use all available lenses - Haptic and visual feedback when taking pictures - Use volume up key as shutter button - EV compensation by swiping - Access to the high-resolution sensor (if available and enabled in settings) - Option to save as lossless HEIF files - Saves EXIF and GPS data in photos This app is designed to simulate the cinematic qualities of the XPAN, including emulation of 8 distinct film stocks that are often paired with this camera: NIGHT MODE Based on the Cinestill 800T film character with its moody teal cast and signature "halation" (red halos) around bright spots in the image. BALANCED MODE Inspired by Vision3 250D film stock, with its versatile personality and typical Hollywood-style color and contrast curves. DAYLIGHT MODE Based on the popular Portra 400 film; soft and warm hues and moderate contrast profile. Great for skin tones and dreamy landscapes. GRITTY MODE Inspired by the Lomography Metropolis film, which adds a "bleached" look that is reminiscent of gritty 90s movies. BLACK & WHITE MODES Following the characteristics black & white films, one mode offers a punchy and contrasty B&W style, while the other is soft and dreamy. NEON NIGHT (NEW) Enhances bright spots in night photos and adds vibrant, saturated glows for a "cyberpunk" vibe ETHEREAL (NEW) Classic soft focus mode, without the need to put grease on your lens! XP4N is consciously made to be the ultimate one-trick-pony. A point and shoot camera with only a single button: the shutter button. The internal image processing engine does the rest, based on your preferred film mode setting. (so don't expect deep camera controls... ;-). The resulting images are carefully tuned to have the pleasant silky quality of film and to get away from the oversharpened, hyper-punchy look typical of today's digital cameras.

Before photographs. Before film. There was voice. Taeppl is a cassette recorder for real moments — the ones you don't stage, don't edit, don't perfect. Choose how much room your tape holds, then record in bursts across a trip, a day, an occasion. Stop and resume whenever something's happening. When the tape's full, it's full. Keep the dog barks, awkward pauses, and everything in between. Each tape becomes a memory you can return to. Every tape ages. Wow, flutter, and hiss deepen as a tape gets older. Each tape has its own character, with a sound that gradually warms and wears while the original recording is preserved. Touch the reels. Drag to scratch playback in real time. Press and hold to freeze the tape mid-motion. Play with the sound as you listen. Link Tapes. Send a tape back and forth with someone you care about. Add your voice to the same growing recording, one turn at a time. Group Tapes. Build a shared memory with friends. Claim a turn, listen, add your part, and pass it on. A finished tape holds everyone's voices together. Birthday Tapes. Collect spoken messages from the people who matter and bring them together in a birthday gift. Arc Tapes. Set a future reveal date — a birthday, a milestone, a someday. Record over time and create something to return to when that day arrives. A map of memories. With location permission, see where your recordings happened. Choose whether shared tapes include precise locations, approximate locations, or no location at all. Handwritten labels. Write your tape's name by hand, the way you'd scrawl on a real cassette. Keep it personal. Share when you choose. Record and keep tapes on your device without creating an account. Sharing uses an online delivery service. Link Tape transfers and newly created Group Tapes use encryption to protect their audio in transit through that service. Everyone in a new encrypted Group Tape needs a compatible version of Taeppl. Make a tape. Pass it on. Come back to it years later.
