Stills vs CCD

Stills is a disposable camera for your phone, and now it has friends. You can't see the photo. Sorry. That's the camera. Then you send one to a friend that vanishes after one look. Load a roll, shoot your frames, and get nothing back until it's full. No preview. No retakes. No quietly deleting the bad one before anyone sees it. Just you, a shutter, and the terrible confidence that you probably got it. Then the roll develops, and you find out. PRESENCE: FRIENDS, MADE IN PERSON Add a friend by scanning their code. No usernames to guess, no requests from strangers, no algorithm deciding you two should know each other. You have to actually meet. The moment you're friends, you each take a first photo. Two prints, one from each phone, kept on your friendship forever. FLICKS Flick a photo up and it's theirs. It develops on the spot, they see it once, and it's gone. Flicks are end-to-end encrypted, so not even we can see them. Cover one in emoji and stickers, write on it, react to one, take one more look, or save the ones you love to your chat or your Photos. Send each other a flick every day to keep a streak going. Chats are here too: swipe to reply, double-tap to love, press and hold to react, edit or unsend, and see when your message is read (you can turn that off). IT LOOKS LIKE FILM, BECAUSE WE MADE IT LOOK LIKE FILM Every frame runs through Stills 400: warm highlights, real grain, that glow around streetlights at 1am. Bright by day, and it holds up after dark: flash looks like flash, neon keeps its colour, and faces in dim rooms come through. It all happens on your phone in about a second. No uploading, no waiting on a server. YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR PHONE All of them. We can't see them, which is genuinely the point. Search runs on the device too. Ask for "that night we walked home in the rain" and it just finds it, without a single pixel going anywhere. Shoot a roll. Forget about it. Develop it later.

Your phone takes photos that are too clean. CCD is not an app that decorates your pictures. It rebuilds an early-2000s compact digital camera inside your phone. You don't pick a filter. You turn on a camera. ■ Not a filter. A sensor. Most retro apps paint an effect on after the shot is taken. CCD doesn't. The moment you look at the viewfinder, it is already 2005. Oversaturated skies, skin that runs warm, greens that push too hard. Blown highlights, coarse sensor noise, sharpening turned up too far. Lenses that go soft toward the corners, color that drifts at the edges. All of it is what those cameras actually produced. Instead of making a good image, we rebuilt exactly the image of that era. ■ An object you operate Power it on and the boot screen runs. Half-press to focus. Press all the way and it clicks twice. Then "Saving..." holds for a moment. Nothing is instant here. The power-on chime, the focus beep, the shutter, the flash charging — the sounds those cameras made are all here. A battery meter, the date burned into the corner. The small things are what make the era. ■ What's inside · 12M / 8M / 5M / 3M / 2M resolutions Lowering the megapixels is a feature, not a compromise · 4:3 · 16:9 · 1:1 aspect ratios · Pinch to zoom, up to 3× — digital zoom, so the image softens as you go in · Swipe the viewfinder left or right to switch cameras · Flash — subject blown white, background dropped to black. That party-photo look · Date imprint — orange or yellow, two formats · Watermark — on or off, your call · Scene modes — AUTO / PORTRAIT / LANDSCAPE / NIGHT / INDOOR The mode dial those cameras had, doing what it actually did · White balance — daylight, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent · Exposure compensation — ±2.0 EV in 1/3 steps When the highlights blow out more than you wanted, pull it down · Self timer (10s) and continuous shooting (3 frames) · A built-in gallery and sharing · PRINT — any photo on 4×6 paper or a 9:16 story layout · Three free cameras — CCD-01 (2005, vivid) · CCD-02 (2007, calm) · CCD-03 (2006, portrait). Swipe the viewfinder to switch · IMPORT — run up to 5 photos you already took through the same sensor pipeline, then save ■ Not a phone. A camera. The whole time you hold it, it shouldn't feel like a phone. So we didn't use the usual app interface. There is no filter list anywhere. No intensity slider. What you adjust are camera settings. ■ Free to shoot, for good Everything above is free and open from the very first launch. No limit on how many photos you can take, and no trial period. The app is free and supported by ads. They appear only in the gallery and settings screens, plus one short ad when you save imported photos — never while you are shooting. ■ More cameras, if you want them CCD-04 PORCELAIN, CCD-05 CINE GOLD, CCD-06 COOL BLUE and CCD-07 ROSE are optional in-app purchases. Try any of them live in the viewfinder before you buy. · One camera: a one-time purchase, yours to keep · CCD PRO: every paid camera, future cameras too, and no ads · Remove Ads: no ads, and nothing else changes One-time purchases. No subscription. Turn on a camera from 2005. --- Contact: ckdgus1120@gmail.com
