CamBe
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every photo you take is rendered with an 80s film look ā warm tones, lifted blacks, soft grain, gentle vignette. But the moment you press the shutter, it starts fading. Slowly. Irreversibly. HOW IT WORKS Photos live only inside CamBe. Each time you open your album, the app calculates exactly how much time has passed since each shot was taken and renders the current fade state in real time. 0ā3 months ā Film original. Warm, grainy, alive. 3ā8 months ā Blues pull back. A pink-red drift sets in. Contrast softens. 8ā12 months ā Detail blurs. The image starts dissolving. After 1 year ā Terminal state. Almost white. A faint ghost of what was there. WHAT YOU CAN DO Ā· Shoot with a built-in film look Ā· Watch your photos age over real calendar time Ā· Import photos from your camera roll ā if timestamp data exists, they get sorted by when they were actually taken and rendered with the fade they've already earned Ā· Export the current faded state to your camera roll at any point Ā· Delete a photo permanently WHAT YOU CAN'T DO Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ You can't slow it down. You can't speed it up. You can't restore the original. That's the point. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Beyond the Frame is a simple photo journal for saving a picture together with the story behind it. Choose a photo or take one on the spot, add a short title, date, and a few words about what happened beyond the frame. Tap or swipe the photo like a card to reveal the memory on the back. Features: ⢠Choose photos from your library or take a new one ⢠Polaroid-inspired photo cards ⢠Color and gently styled monochrome finishes ⢠Add a title, date, and short back story ⢠Flip cards to revisit the memory behind each photo ⢠Change background colors and handwriting styles ⢠Export your photo cards as images ⢠Automatically sync your memories across devices with iCloud Beyond the Frame is not about managing thousands of photos. It is about keeping the part of a memory that a photo alone cannot capture.
