Point, shoot, become the character โ€” every effect is rendered live as you shoot, and processed entirely on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded. HERO MODES VINTAGE โ€” Six real film stocks: Kodak Gold, Fuji, disposable, Polaroid, faded black & white, and the early-2000s digicam look. Grain, halation, light leaks, and a glowing date stamp. COLOR SWAP โ€” Recolor yourself in real time while the world stays real โ€” or flip it and recolor the background. Solid tints, rainbow cycles, and hue shifts. LIVE NEWS โ€” Become the reporter. Your name on the chyron, a breaking-news ticker, a full broadcast studio in your pocket. MOTO RIDER โ€” Real GPS speed, live elevation, trip distance, and a recording timer. Every ride documented like a pro motorcycle vlog. No action-cam app needed. SHADOW DANCE โ€” Your glowing silhouette against a cinematic background. Dance, move, perform โ€” every frame is a movie poster. VHS HORROR โ€” Found footage meets horror cinema. Terror text on corrupted tape. Something is wrong with this recording. HORROR POV โ€” You're inside the horror movie. Jitter, grain, atmosphere โ€” every corridor looks like a film scene. GLITCH TV โ€” Distort reality with live RGB splits, scanlines, and digital corruption. CINEMA HALL โ€” Watch yourself on the big screen inside a theatre. Every video looks like a trailer. ART MODES PENCIL SKETCH โ€” Pencil, charcoal, red charcoal, color charcoal, sepia, or ballpoint โ€” drawn on textured paper with grain. PAINTING โ€” Pointillism, poster, hex tiles, and dream glow. PRINTING โ€” Classic, stencil, propaganda, pop art, newspaper, vintage pink, and photocopy โ€” real halftone print looks, live. DIRTY LENS โ€” Shoot through fog, frost, dust, smudges, or raindrops running down the glass. MIRROR FX & SPLIT โ€” Kaleidoscope and mirror reflections, split-screen tiling, and delayed clone panels. CINEMATIC MODES SINGLE COLOR โ€” Keep one color, everything else turns grey. Cinema color grading, live, in-camera. THERMAL โ€” Full thermal-imaging simulation with iron, rainbow, and arctic palettes. X-RAY โ€” Inverted radiograph. Everything reads like film on a lightbox. VHS TAPE โ€” Soft glow, chroma fringe, and tape grain. One slider from fresh tape to worn. SECURITY CAM โ€” Night vision, black & white, color CCTV, or fisheye doorbell.
