ButterLens vs Glitchforge

ButterLens is a tiny camera with a single idea. A soft, buttery lens that turns everyday moments into gentle memories. No filters. No complicated settings. Just open the camera and shoot. Inspired by the feeling of old film cameras, ButterLens keeps things simple. Every photo carries the same warm, dreamy look — like a memory that has softened over time. Perfect for capturing: • quiet walks • everyday moments • soft memories • imperfect beauty Sometimes the best photos are the ones that feel a little blurry, a little warm, and a little nostalgic. Just point. Just shoot. Let the world melt a little. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Glitchforge is a video glitch studio that runs on your iPhone. Load a clip, stack effects, and watch your videos get messed up. Most glitch apps just paint effects on top of the picture. We edit the compressed video itself, in its own domain: the motion vectors, coefficients, and quantizers inside the H.264, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 streams. Datamosh: motion comes unstuck from the picture, so one shot melts into the next and frames bleed together. Scrambled coefficients: blocks tear and smear. Warped blocks + posterization: the compression math is the effect. VHS + analog: tracking noise, color bleed, worn tape Pixel sort: pixels dragged into long streaks of color. Load a clip. Build a chain and reorder it if you need to. Tune each effect's settings and watch the picture change in unexpected ways. Scrub to any frame and save it, or export the whole clip. There is no account and no server. Your footage is processed on the phone and stays there. It works with no connection, anywhere you are ready to make art.
