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

About

Latente

Read full description

Latente is a photography app inspired by the experience of shooting on film. Instead of taking unlimited photos and viewing them instantly, Latente invites you to slow down. Each roll has a fixed number of shots, encouraging you to be intentional with every capture. Once a roll is completed, your photos are printed and delivered to your door. Only after receiving them can you unlock and view your digital gallery, bringing back the anticipation and surprise of analog photography. Key features: • Shoot with a limited roll of photos • No instant previews — stay present in the moment • Physical prints delivered to your home • Unlock your digital gallery after receiving your photos • A more intentional and meaningful way to capture memories Latente is designed for those who want to take fewer photos — and make them matter more.
