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.

PXLCAM is a camera that pushes back. Every photo you take has a footprint. Higher resolution means bigger files, which take more energy to store and share. Most cameras are in a race to capture more. PXLCAM goes the other way. SHOOT Take photos in a retro, lo-fi aesthetic – grainy, dithered, and intentionally low-resolution. Smaller files by design, lighter on storage and energy. STAMP Every photo is stamped with the date, the time, and the Climate Clock: a live countdown showing how long scientists estimate we have left to meaningfully act on climate change. It makes an abstract deadline personal, embedded into the everyday. The clock ticks in every shot, quietly asking: what are you capturing, and why does it matter? SHARE Browse your shots in the gallery and share them with the people who should see them. A camera is a tool for noticing. PXLCAM is an invitation to pay attention – to a world worth capturing, worth protecting.
