Horika brings the joy of advancing film with your finger to your phone. We intentionally make every shutter press uncertain. Each photo may produce unique traces like light leaks, grain, color shifts, or blur — not mistakes, but character. Horika is here to help you capture emotions and moments, right when they happen. Core experiences: - Thumb advance (manual film winding): advance the film with your thumb — a tiny ritual that recreates the tactile feel of physically moving the roll forward - Randomness: every shutter press is a small random experiment, waiting for careful eyes to discover - Toy camera film texture: layered light leaks, vignetting, grain, scratches, color shifts, and film borders - Multiple frame formats: simulate common 120-format frame sizes (such as 6×6 and 6×4.5), plus wide format - Holka mode: built-in "Holka" mode for a capture experience closer to a real toy camera - Film Lab: create, import, and manage your own custom films - Multi-exposure support to expand creative possibilities - New lens filter simulations so you can combine even more unusual final looks Try Horika. Capture freely and discover surprises worth keeping. Privacy: https://horika.omitlens.com/privacy.html Terms of Service: https://horika.omitlens.com/tos.html

DIGILOG CAMERA is a camera app built around image development rather than effects. Instead of applying filters, each frame is processed through a custom pipeline starting from the sensor’s linear signal: color space handling, gamma shaping, color balance, and a final look designed to behave predictably. The app is informed by years of color grading work in DaVinci Resolve, with the goal of bringing a disciplined, film-oriented approach to image creation on the iPhone. DIGILOG supports open-gate recording and professional codecs such as ProRes 422 and H.264, allowing more control over framing and post-production than the standard camera app, even on older devices. DIGILOG is not about style presets. It’s a practical exploration of how light, color, and code interact.
