CHROMIS
Read full descriptionHide full description
CHROMIS is a retro camera that turns Dynamic Island into a Polaroid. The viewfinder unfolds from beneath Dynamic Island. After the shutter sounds, the photo slowly slides out like a real Polaroid. The image emerges from a pale, light-sensitive state into a frame with film texture, then gently lands on the canvas. Taking a photo is more than pressing a button. Framing, shutter, development, and collecting become one complete photographic ritual in CHROMIS. Every press of the shutter turns a small moment of everyday life into a Polaroid-style instant photo you can return to later. These photos do not have to stay buried in a camera roll. They can scatter across an infinite canvas, grow into a personal photo wall, or become a visual journal arranged freely by mood, place, and memory. When one photo deserves its own moment, open the Polaroid stage and let it stay in front of you for a while. When one part of the canvas is worth revisiting, crop it into a small window and keep it quietly on your Home Screen. โ Capture CHROMIS redesigns shooting around Dynamic Island, letting the camera unfold naturally from it. Built-in film looks cover warm tones, cool tones, low saturation, vivid color, and classic film simulation. Live Photo support also preserves the motion around the moment you press the shutter. โ Organize The infinite canvas lets photos move beyond a timeline. Arrange them by mood, scene, and memory. Pins keep photos and background cards in the right place, while background cards help you build richer collages, journals, and visual collections. โ Display The Polaroid stage is made for appreciating a single photo. Canvas export saves a finished layout as a high-quality image. Home Screen widgets can hold a corner of your canvas so memories stay close in a lighter way. โ Efficiency CHROMIS supports iOS Shortcuts, so you can connect capture actions to automations, Lock Screen entry points, or widgets and start shooting faster. โ Quick Start ยท Take a photo: Pull the camera down from Dynamic Island, release, then press the shutter. ยท Switch film: Swipe left or right in the viewfinder to choose a film look. ยท Move photos: Long-press a photo to pull out its pin, then drag it into place. ยท Pin photos: Long-press a photo or background card again to fix it with a pin. ยท Import background cards: Tap the โ+โ in the lower-right corner and choose an image from Photos. ยท Delete photos: Drag an unwanted photo toward the bottom center, wait for the trash can, then release. ยท Show a photo: Double-tap a photo on the canvas to open the Polaroid stage. ยท Export the canvas: Double-tap an empty area of the canvas to save the current view as an image. ยท Make a widget: Long-press the โ+โ in the lower-right corner, choose a canvas area, and export it as a Home Screen widget. ยท Use Shortcuts: Search for CHROMIS in the iOS Shortcuts app and add capture-related actions. โ Privacy Commitment All photo processing happens locally on your device and is not uploaded to a server. CHROMIS only requests necessary permissions such as camera access and photo library writing to complete capture, saving, and export. May every press of the shutter become a chrome print worth keeping. Standard Agreement (EULA) https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: vLogPro at none against CHROMIS's 3. CHROMIS's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
