Make ordinary photos feel like they came from a favorite old camera. Flashback is a retro camera and photo editor for digicam flash, film grain, instant color, and imperfect little memories. SHOOT OR IMPORT Capture with your phone or bring in a photo from your library. Choose a look before you shoot, then keep the moment moving. DIAL IN THE MEMORY Tune flash intensity, grain, softness, vignette, date stamps, and crop. Compare before and after until the frame feels right. BUILD YOUR CAMERA SHELF Explore illustrated digicam, instant, film, and video cameras. Load a film roll, expose 24 frames, then wash the roll when you are ready. KEEP IT LOCAL Edit offline with local-first processing. Save finished frames to Photos and share them with friends. Flashback is for people who miss the happy accidents: soft flash, creamy tones, grain, glow, and a little less perfection.

Read full description

One memory a day, hanging by a thread. A photo, a short video, or a thought: Appesi is a journal for the moments you want to keep. Your morning coffee, a walk, a shared laugh. Even the simplest days have something worth remembering. YOUR JOURNAL, DAY BY DAY Take a photo, choose one from your library, add a video up to four seconds long, or write a thought on paper. Add a caption and a place, then watch your memory find its spot on the line. MAKE IT YOURS Choose backgrounds, frames, and clothespin colors. Move your Polaroids, change their size, and watch them gently sway as you tilt your phone. All customizations are included for free. REVISIT YOUR MOMENTS Browse your memories and explore monthly and yearly calendars. You can manually add memories to past days and set a reminder for your daily moment of reflection. FILL THE EMPTY DAYS Rediscover memories in your photo library, with photo and video suggestions for days you haven’t filled yet. Choose what to include and fill your month while keeping existing memories in place. TURN YOUR MONTH INTO A MOVIE Transform photos, videos, and thoughts into a movie of animated Polaroids. Choose a background and music, include the original sound from your videos, and save or share the result. TRY IT WITH YOUR OWN MEMORIES You get: • One month of your journal to fill for free. • One month’s movie to create for free. These choices are independent: you can choose different months for filling days and creating a movie. For each feature, your chosen month stays unlocked with no expiry. Keep filling its empty days, or remake, save, and share its movie as often as you like. No subscription is required to use these free features, and they never trigger an automatic charge. APPESI PREMIUM Want to fill more months or create more monthly movies? An annual Appesi Premium subscription unlocks both features for every month while your subscription is active. Your daily journal, manually adding memories, calendars, all customizations, reminders, backup, and restore remain free. If your subscription ends, your imported memories and previously created movies remain available. Your free chosen months also stay unlocked for their respective features. MEMORIES TO KEEP Photos, videos, and thoughts are stored on your device. Export a backup file and restore it whenever you need to. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Appesi Premium is an annual, auto-renewable subscription. The price is shown in the app before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account upon confirmation. Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
