FILCA is not a filter app โ€” it's a whole 2000s digital camera in your pocket. Silver body, black-bezel LCD, engraved buttons, a D-pad, and that motor sound when the lens barrel slides out. Press the on-screen shutter and it fires like the real thing. โ–  20 FILM LOOKS From the core four โ€” DAY OUT, DAY IN, NIGHT OUT, NIGHT IN โ€” measured from real film photos, to MONO, an old-TV broadcast look, a faded travel negative, and a 13-film collection of pastels, golden hour, cafรฉ tones, blue hour, wine-bar evenings and Y2K digicam. Pick your film for the light you're in. โ–  EVERY FILM IS A DIFFERENT CAMERA Each film has its own lens and darkroom character โ€” not just color. Corners that sink into black, dreamy pro-mist glow, purple fringing and a flash hotspot, CRT scanlines, toy-lens edge blur, coarse silver grain. Two films never feel like the same machine. โ–  EVERY SHOT IS DEVELOPED, NOT FILTERED Each photo goes through a full darkroom pipeline: lens distortion, halation glow around lights, film grain, vignette, dust, and the occasional light leak. Exposure and color drift a little on every frame โ€” no two photos ever come out the same. โ–  A REAL CAMERA, NOT A CAMERA UI - Shooting modes: Auto, Program, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, High Sensitivity - Self-timer, burst shooting, zoom rocker - Brightness dial, hand-shake simulation for that honest 2000s blur - Date stamp โ€” or engrave your own message - On-screen OSD menu straight out of a 2005 compact camera โ–  10 FREE SHOTS Your first roll is on us. Shoot 10 photos free, then subscribe for unlimited developing. No account. No ads. Your photos never leave your phone. โ–  SUBSCRIPTION FILCA Monthly โ€” $0.49 per month, auto-renewable. It lifts the 10-shot limit so you can shoot and develop without a count, on all 20 film stocks and in every shooting mode. There is no free trial. The subscription renews at the same price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account, and you can manage or cancel it anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.

About

Snapper

Read full description

Your best shot. On repeat. Snapper is a simple interval camera that gives you time to get into the picture. Set your phone down, choose a countdown, and take a series of photos without returning to the shutter after every shot. MAKE ROOM FOR THE MOMENT Choose a 5-, 10-, or 15-second countdown between captures. Take 5, 10, or 20 photos, or keep going until you tap Stop. A CLEAR VIEW Use the front or rear camera. Expand the preview when you want more room to frame your photo, then return to the compact view to adjust your settings. YOUR PHOTOS, YOUR CHOICE Save each picture directly to Photos, or turn saving off. Optional screen flashes and haptics help you follow the session. SIMPLE BY DESIGN No account, ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases in version 1.0. Snapper does not upload your photos. Capture sessions work without an internet connection. Keep Snapper open during a session. Switching apps or locking your phone pauses automatic captures. Each countdown begins after the previous capture finishes; timing and image quality depend on your phone and conditions.
