Coincidence is a camera that meets you where you are: automatic when you want to take a photo, fully manual when you want to make a photo. Point and shoot with real-time auto exposure and focus, or take over completely. Use Exposure Comp for quick brightness changes, or switch to Full Manual for shutter speed, ISO and color temperature dials. Tap to focus with single-shot precision. Exposure Comp is built to behave like the native Camera app, so moving between auto and manual never feels like two different cameras. BUILD YOUR OWN LOOK Most camera apps let you apply someone else's LUT. Coincidence lets you build your own: highlights, shadows, fade, saturation, curves, selective hue and saturation, split toning and color temperature. Then save it as a real .cube file you can rename, share, or drop straight back into your next shot. Add grain, bloom and sharpening on top for texture, and see the whole look live before you press the shutter. Double-tap the viewfinder to flip between two LUTs of your choice. SISTER APP: COLOR PAL Want a look fast? Color Pal turns any photo into a LUT based on its colors. Open that LUT in Coincidence straight from Color Pal and start shooting with it right away. SHOOT WITH INTENT Switch between your iPhone's lenses at their native focal lengths Full-screen false color to judge exposure at a glance Focus peaking that highlights in-focus edges after you tap to focus A Macro button that snaps focus close, and puts it back with a second tap Multiple aspect ratios A built-in level, so horizons stay horizons Volume-button shutter Left, center or right shutter placement, with buttons you can reorder Every capture carries accurate EXIF, with no silent rewrites AN INSTRUMENT, NOT AN APP Cream panels, dial-red accents, monospaced readouts. Coincidence is styled after analogue camera instruments, not modern touchscreen chrome. Controls are built to be read at a glance and adjusted by feel. One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no data collected.

Kachik is a camera for people who would rather set a look than borrow one. Build your own recipe. Choose a colour, explore a year, add texture, and if you feel like it, let one thing go pleasantly wrong. Name your combination and make it yours to shoot with again. YOUR COLOUR. YOUR RULES. • Colour: 30 palettes combining places across India with clean everyday looks. • Year: 12 era-inspired styles spanning 1996 to 2026, from film-diary warmth to crisp digital. • Camera character: 26 original camera and film-inspired interpretations across Rangefinder, Film, Cinema and Digital, including Pocket Flash and CCD 2006. • Your mix: adjust warmth, colour depth, contrast and strength. • Grain + noise: choose a texture preset, then shape grain size, softness, colour noise, shadow bias and noise reduction. • Misclicks: 16 optional visual accidents, including Cracked lens, Light slip, Thumb Slip, Monsoon Droplets and VHS Tracking. Adjust their strength and explore three variations. • Signatures: name, save and reuse your recipe. Share it through a recipe file or QR code, or import someone’s combination and make it your own. MAKE EVERY EDIT YOURS Explore with undo and redo. Reset one slider, one editing panel or everything back to the original photo. Double-tap a slider for a quick reset. Your selected option stays centred as you browse. Small dots mark your changes, and editing panels remember the tool you last used. Compare with Original while your photo stays visible. Import photos or revisit your private roll. MORE CAMERA. FEWER INTERRUPTIONS. Open straight to a large live preview, with Photo, Burst, Video and Edit within reach. Pinch to zoom, adjust exposure and choose your photo aspect ratio on the preview. Browse colour, year and effect previews, then apply your recipe when it feels right. TWO SIDES OF THE MOMENT Double Take puts the scene above and you below in one photo, using your current style. On compatible iPhones, it combines front and rear camera previews into a 720 × 1280 split image. YOUR LOOK, IN MOTION Record vertical 720p clips up to 15 seconds with your chosen recipe and optional sound. Review, trim or mute your clip, then choose whether to keep, save or share. A LITTLE SPARK Open Sparks from the top bar for six swipeable shooting prompts exploring reflections, colour, motion, texture, contrast and night. Optional photo references from Wikimedia Commons include creator credits and source links. Try a suggested colour and year on your camera, then keep it or undo it. Original prompts work offline. FROM INDIA Find colour in Jaipur’s pink stone, Mumbai’s kaali peeli, Kolkata’s marigold and Srinagar’s lake hush. Request nearby palette suggestions or explore the atlas. Your location is never attached to a photo. SHARE IT YOUR WAY Share a photo, build a card or add an Instant paper frame. Choose your format, add your own words and control the Kachik watermark. Share an ordered set of up to ten photos, or combine up to four into Grid, Stack and Swatch layouts. Apply a signature to selected photos as new copies, preserving the originals. Choose Full size, Share ready or Small file. Copy images and captions separately, and save favourite sharing layouts. MADE FOR YOUR OWN EYE No account, follower count or popularity score. Suggestions never change your photo on their own. Editing works on device. Your private roll keeps clean masters and untouched originals. Keep in roll, Save to Photos and Share are separate choices. Apple ProRAW is available on supported cameras, with the original DNG kept untouched. Burst chooses the sharpest recent preview frame; hardware flash uses a fresh still. Shortcuts, the Action button, Control Centre and Lock Screen controls offer quicker ways in. Adaptive previews support compatible ProMotion displays. Online Sparks references are optional. Your camera images and location are not sent to Wikimedia Commons. Point. Shoot. Make it yours. Made by CRIT Studio.
