PIXELADO Dither the world, live in the viewfinder. Pixelado is a camera that renders every frame through a real-time dither shader. Pick an effect, pick a palette, and the viewfinder is already the photo. Nothing to apply afterwards. TWELVE LIVE EFFECTS Floyd-Steinberg and Atkinson error diffusion, Bayer 4x4 and 2x2 ordered dither, blue-noise stipple, per-channel RGB dither, ordered halftone, posterize, CRT scanlines, and a Sobel ink edge pass. Plus two retro hardware palettes, CGA and C64, that clamp every frame to a classic 4-color or 16-color set. THIRTY-EIGHT COLOR PALETTES Hand-graded palettes, from clean monochrome and graphite to neon, sunset, and deep contrast. Every one of them is free. DIAL IT IN Pixel scale, contrast, shadows, highlights, and sharpness, all live on the preview. Five effects take a tint color, so you can push a dither into any two-tone you want. Your settings are stored per effect, so switching back never loses your numbers. A CAMERA THAT STAYS OUT OF THE WAY Volume button shutter, rule-of-thirds grid, tap to focus, flash, zoom, front camera, and your last shot one tap from the editor. BRING YOUR OWN PHOTOS Import anything from your library and run it through the same shader, with the same sliders. BUILT FOR IPAD Split View and Slide Over are supported, and the camera preview keeps the right aspect ratio at every window size. COMPLETELY FREE Every effect, every palette, every slider. No subscription, no unlocks, no ads. PROCESSED ON YOUR DEVICE Your photos are processed on your device with Metal and never uploaded. Shoot in pixels.

Roll 24
Read full descriptionHide full description
Roll 24 is a film camera in your phone. It asks you to slow down. You get one roll a day: 24 frames. No preview after the shutter, no retakes. Just the viewfinder, the click and the wait. At midnight your roll develops. You wake up to yesterday and pin the frame that mattered to your board. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a film stock and shoot up to 24 frames. • At 00:00 the roll develops. • Pin the one that mattered. Write down why. • Watch your board grow, one day at a time. WHAT YOU GET • Real film looks, not filters: grain, halation and film colour, live in the viewfinder. • Two film stocks out of the box: Standard Analog and B&W Grain. • Instant-print frames, dated like the old cameras. • A private board of your days. No feed, no likes, no followers. • A note on every memory. • Sign in with Apple. Your rolls stay yours. No ads, no tracking. • Download all your memories, free, any time. ROLL 24 PRO • 36 frames a day instead of 24 • Pin up to 3 frames per roll, kept together as one day • Every film stock (Gold 200, Tokyo Vivid, Ektar 100, Superia 400), plus a new one each month • Save the whole roll to your phone • Your whole board, every roll • One streak freeze a month • Clean shares without the Roll 24 mark Pro is available as a yearly or a monthly subscription, each with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Prefer no subscription? Single film stocks and a Film Pack are sold separately. Free stays free: 24 frames a day, 2 film stocks and your latest 60 rolls. Nothing is ever deleted. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://rajtermaks1.github.io/roll24-legal/privacy-policy.html Twenty-four frames is a small number. That's why every one of them matters.
