Remember when photos looked like memories, not algorithms? TruePix Camera brings back the simple joy of point-and-shoot photography. No AI processing. No computational tricks. No post-processing mess. Just your camera, as it is. What you get: • Instant shooting – tap once, photo's done • Multiple lenses – ultra-wide, wide, telephoto (if your device supports them) • JPEG or HEIF – pick your format, no fuss • Gallery – swipe through your shots, zoom in, drag to close • Privacy by design – everything stays on your device, always NOTE: all images are saved at maximum available size, which is apparently without fusion-processing is limited to 12mp. Unfortunately. Not through lack of trying on our end. Sorry. What you won't get: No AI enhancement. No scene detection. No HDR stacking. No computational photography. No cloud uploads. No data collection. Why this matters: You've probably seen it—take a photo, it looks fine for a second, then suddenly it darkens, over-sharpens, and turns into a grimy mess. That's AI trying too hard. TruePix Camera changes that. It captures what your camera actually sees. Not what an algorithm thinks you meant. No hidden processing. No surprises. It's built for: People who want their photos to feel like memories, not lab experiments. Folks tired of over-processed Instagram shots. Anyone who misses the simplicity of old point-and-shoot cameras. Technical bits: • Supports all iPhone camera lenses (ultra-wide, wide, telephoto) • Focus lock – tap and hold to lock focus • Export as JPEG or HEIF • Location tagging (optional, helps organize your shots) • Saves straight to your Photos library

See the look before you shoot. Eclat is a cinematic iPhone camera with its own RAW developing engine. Your style is live in the viewfinder while you frame, and every photo is saved with its untouched original inside. No look is ever final. STYLES, NOT FILTERS Seven styles, each a complete photographic development with its own tones, colours and grain: • Cine: night film for tungsten light, teal shadows, glowing reds • Chrome: a faded slide, muted colour, strong primaries • Positive: cool, clean slide film with natural greens • Portra: soft portrait negative, kind to skin • B&W: smooth black and white with wide latitude • Noir: pushed black and white, deep blacks and grit • Neutral: the scene as the sensor saw it What you see in the viewfinder is what you get: the preview and the saved photo use the same colour maths. ITS OWN DARKROOM On a Pro iPhone, shoot RAW and Eclat develops the sensor's data itself, with no smoothing, no oversharpening and no HDR look. Prefer Apple's processing, with night mode and every lens? Switch in one tap, and Eclat styles that image with the same engine. EVERY CONTROL UNDER YOUR THUMB The whole viewfinder is the control panel. Each setting has its own column: slide up or down anywhere in it, like turning a dial. Lens, exposure and style are there from the start; add white balance and manual focus in Settings. Tap to focus, hold to lock exposure and focus. No menus, and your eyes never leave the picture. THE ORIGINAL, ALWAYS Your photos go to the Photos library in your style. Tap Edit, then Revert, and the original is back, today or in ten years. Crops to 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9 can be undone too. READY WHEN YOU ARE Open Eclat from the Lock Screen, Control Center, the Action button or Camera Control, with your settings. Live Photos keep the style in motion. Grid, level and self-timer included. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no tracking, no upload. Eclat works offline. Free, with no ads and no subscription. If Eclat becomes your everyday camera, you can support its development with an optional tip.
