Purchase options Monthly and yearly Pro auto-renew. A non-renewing 7-Day Pass, Lifetime Pro and a 100-image credit pack are also available. Pro provides unlimited local image compression while access is valid. Existing paid-download customers retain permanent, unlimited Pro access. Eligible customers may receive a 3-day free trial on monthly or yearly Pro, once per subscription group. The subscription then renews at the price shown by Apple unless canceled. Manage or cancel in Apple subscription settings. Lifetime Pro does not automatically cancel an existing subscription. Prices and purchase terms are displayed by Apple before payment. Credits are used only without active Pro: 1 credit per image when a usable compressed result is first generated. Failure or cancellation uses no credits; retrying the same successful result or exporting it again, including from history, does not charge again. Credits do not expire. Refunded credit grants are removed; any resulting shortfall is covered by later top-ups first. Credits require iOS 16 or later, a verifiable original App Store purchase identity and iCloud. Restore with the original pair of App Store purchase and iCloud accounts. Credit purchase and usage records sync to your private iCloud database; photos stay on your device. Pro and existing paid-download access do not require iCloud.

HALOVIA brings the ritual of a disposable film camera to your iPhone. Unwrap a camera, advance the film, and capture everyday moments one frame at a time. Finish the roll to discover your photos. ONE ROLL, 27 FRAMES Each camera holds up to 27 photos. Advance before each shot, watch the counter, and use the flash when the moment calls for it. You can finish a roll early whenever you are ready to see your photos. FILM-INSPIRED COLOR AND GRAIN Give everyday scenes a film-inspired look with textured grain, distinctive color, and lens character. From a sunny walk to an evening with friends, keep a roll of moments in your own way. FROM CAMERA TO FILM CASE Wind the film, open the camera, and take out the roll. Your finished rolls wait on a shelf in Film Case. Tap a canister, pull out the film leader, and lay the whole roll on a darkroom light table. Name each roll on its tape label, and unwrap a new camera when you are ready to shoot again. ON THE LIGHT TABLE Move, rotate, and stack your frames, or arrange them in a grid or contact sheet. View any frame as a negative, a slide, or a print, keep the perforated film edge or a thin rebate, and try push or pull development. Adjust the lamp, then export the whole table, a contact sheet, or a single frame. Light table looks are created as separate copies, leaving your original photos unchanged. YOUR ORIGINALS, ALWAYS Double-tap a frame to see the original photo, or browse a whole roll and save one photo or all of them to Photos. YOUR PHOTOS STAY WITH YOU No account is required. Shooting and film development work offline, and your rolls and photos are stored on your device.
