Point. Shoot. Magic. Rewind is a chaos film camera. You pick the kind of roll and take the photo — the rest is out of your hands. Rewind chooses the film stock, the camera, and how every frame develops, all hidden until your roll comes back. No filters. No preview. No retakes. You shoot a roll, you wait for it to come back, and then you meet every frame for the first time. Some are beautiful. Some are strange. None of them are quite what you expected — the soul of a moment already gone. THE RULES • You take the photo. Rewind decides the look. • No filters, no presets — the look is never yours to pick. • No cherry-picking — a roll is all or nothing, the good and the strange. • You never see a frame until it develops. THE FILM — every roll is a different world: • CLASSIC — clean, timeless color and black & white. • HALF-FRAME — two moments paired into one frame. • DOUBLE EXPOSURE — one frame, two lives. • PLASTIC — toy-camera softness, light leaks, happy accidents. • CHAOS — one of a kind, never the same twice. • FILM OF THE MONTH — a fresh curated stock, every month. THE WAIT Rolls don't develop on the spot. You shoot, you set it down, and it comes back when it's ready — the way film always did. The anticipation is the whole point. WHY REWIND • A real, seeded film look — not a filter dropped on a JPEG. • Real film fingerprints: grain, halation, the odd light leak. • Finish the print by hand — push/pull, print balance, density. You shape the print, never the look. • A Gallery for the frames you love, built to be looked at. • Point and shoot — the look is the only thing out of your hands. REWIND+ Free to shoot — a roll every month. Go unlimited with Rewind+ ($5.99/month or $49.99/year): every camera and film, double exposures and CHAOS whenever you want, faster developing, member-only stocks, and the Film of the Month. Rewind is quiet on purpose. It's for the photo you forgot you took — the one that comes back better than you remember. SUBSCRIPTION Rewind+ is an auto-renewable subscription: $5.99/month or $49.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
