CCD vs Make It 2004

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 cameras — CCD-01 (2005, vivid) · CCD-02 (2007, calm) · CCD-03 (2006, portrait). Switch with the button by the shutter · 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, and fully unlocked Everything above is open from the very first launch. No in-app purchases. No subscription. No locked features. 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. Turn on a camera from 2005. --- Contact: ckdgus1120@gmail.com

Turn any photo into a 2004 digicam shot with one tap. And here's the magic: if your photo remembers when it was taken, MAKE IT 2004 stamps the REAL date in glowing orange — your 2019 beach day becomes a found memory. Free. No account. Your photos never leave your phone. Old digital cameras had tiny CCD sensors and aggressive processing: harsh flash, blown highlights, crushed shadows, loud colors, grain, sharpening halos — and that orange date stamp burned into the corner. People pay $150+ for a 20-year-old camera to get this look. Your thumb can do it for free.
