Trippy Kaleidoscope turns anything you point it at into living kaleidoscope art — the camera in front of you, a photo from your library, or a pattern that draws itself on screen. Four modules, four different geometries. A flat kaleidoscope that cuts a slice of the world and multiplies it into a rosette. A 3D kaleidoscope that stacks that rosette into rings flying toward you. A tunnel you fall through, its walls papered with your image. And a spiral that winds the whole thing into itself. Every one of them runs live, at full frame rate, with nothing to render and nothing to wait for. WHAT YOU CAN DO ‣ Point the camera and watch the world fold into symmetry ‣ Drop in your own photo or video and send it through any module ‣ Pick a built-in visual — a texture or an animated pattern ‣ Pinch to zoom, drag to move, double tap to reset ‣ Set rotation and texture spin independently, or stop them dead ‣ Fly through the tunnel forward or backward, at your own speed ‣ Tap once to clear the interface and see only the image ‣ Save a photo or record video, with ambient music or silent ‣ Choose the frame you export in: square, vertical, or full screen ANIMATED PATTERNS YOU CAN TUNE The built-in visuals are not pictures — they are drawn by the graphics chip, frame by frame. Plasma, fluid, lava, mosaics, fractals, weaves. Open the colour panel and the pattern becomes yours: set the colours, change the scale and density, make it slower or wilder. Your settings are remembered per pattern, and a single tap puts the original back. EVERY LENS IN EVERY MODULE Each module carries its own set of lenses, from a few broad petals to densely packed symmetry. The lens, the source and the speeds are remembered separately for each module, so going back to one is going back to exactly what you left. RECORD WHAT YOU SEE What is on screen is what lands in the file — the same frame, pixel for pixel. Record video with one of the ambient tracks that ship with the app, or in silence. No microphone is ever used. MADE TO BE PRIVATE No account. No sign-in. Your photos, videos and camera feed are processed on your device and never leave it. There is no server to upload to. No ads, no trackers. ON IPHONE AND IPAD Full iPad support, including rotation and Split View.

Turn your photos into organic patterns driven by nature's hidden rules. Turing Patterns uses reaction diffusion equations, the same math that shapes animal markings and chemical reactions, to transform portraits into evolving art. • Snap a photo or upload one from your library. • Adjust pattern flow, movement, and color. • Export high resolution stills or looping animations. No two results are ever the same because nature never repeats herself, and neither do you.
