KaleidoDark vs Hypnogram

KaleidoDark is a video app for creative videophiles.  You can select your own video and manipulate it live with kaleidoscope and mirror effects. With segments, axes, rotation, zoom, and a freely movable center, dynamic and symmetrical visual worlds emerge in real time.  Styles can be applied and stored.  The result can be exported as a video. Live video manipulation – precise, visual, experimental.

Hypnogram turns your track and cover art into a beat-reactive music video: gig loops, templates, spinning vinyl, live visuals and seamless loops, made on your iPhone. NEW IN 1.5: 26 MORE GIG LOOPS 34 psychedelic visuals made for looping at gigs. 1.5 adds 26: Whiplash Halo, a 60s concert poster in vibrating inks; Solid Light, projector beams that hang in the smoke; Girih Quasicrystal, a gilt rosette in an endless interlace; a pastel toy-machine world (Machine Dream, Mirror Machine, Cable Curtain, Clone Parade, Specimen Vats); and Flux Stepper, Linocut Stack, Peacock Wheel, Vega Swell, Infinity Room, Pulsar Relief, Chladni Sand, Etched Tesseract, Skeleton Calibre, Siphonophore Drift, Kumiko Lantern, Phosphor Scope, Tide Walker, Beam Comb, Bead Rain, Glitter Planet, Kirigami Lung and Gold Bus. They join the original eight: Aperture Stack, Rorschach Bloom, Ebru Engine, Moire Engine, Doyle Bloom, Circle Limit, Cryptex Shaft and Skyline Hourglass. • Built from your cover: it becomes the lens, the ink, the print, the screen or the specimen inside the visual • Hits on every kick: each kick moves the whole structure exactly one step • Loops seamlessly on 8 or 16 bars with no crossfade: the last frame flows straight into the first • Made for the booth, projectors and LED walls: the Live console's pads start as gig loops, and every roll of the dice onto a gig loop is a new variation • With Dim Flashing Lights or Reduce Motion on, the gig loops calm their flashes TEMPLATES, SPIN STUDIO AND LIVE • Templates: 25 one-tap edits made for your track, in Out Now, Spotify Canvas, Vinyl, Gig Flyer, DJ/VJ loop and Teaser styles. Each one starts on your song's drop, lands on whole bars at the real tempo and fills in your title, artist, date and venue. • Spin Studio: the spin video everyone posts. Press your cover as a full-print record, pinch to size it and drag it anywhere, spin it over your own photo or video, add your title in the font you like and export 1:1, 9:16 or 16:9. Turntable, sleeve-reveal and needle-drop shots too, with picture disc, splatter, marble, gold and glow pressings. • Live mode: a gig console with scene pads that switch on the bar, auto mode, blackout, flash, strobe, freeze, tap tempo and Line In from your mixer or mic. On iOS 27, send a clean picture to a projector or LED wall while your phone stays the controller. • Immersive Worlds: Chrome Relic, Laser Cathedral and Prism Bloom, real-time 3D built around your art. EVERYTHING ELSE • 150+ beat-reactive visuals built from your art: 34 gig loops, abstract tunnels, photoreal scenes with your cover on real objects, toon worlds, demoscene classics and Logo FX • Stem FX: the kick punches the camera, the snare pops the light, the hats sparkle and the vocal blooms • AI Director: describe the vibe and it builds the whole edit (it works offline too) • Film-grade looks with halation, bloom and grain • Kinetic text that moves on your song's timeline • Seamless, bar-locked loops for DJ/VJ sets and Spotify Canvas • Export 9:16, 16:9 and 1:1 in one go, at 60 fps, as ProRes for Resolume and VDMX, or at custom sizes for LED walls • Projects remember your look, record, template, gig loop and track Rendering happens on your device. No timeline, no keyframes: drop a track, pick a vibe, export. Made for artists, DJs, producers and labels: release reels, Canvas loops, gig flyers and visuals for the booth.
