About

Easy Analog

Read full description

Easy Analog turns the iPhone into a single-lens reflex camera of the 1970s and 1980s. Learning film usually comes with a delay. A roll holds 36 frames, days pass before development, and when a picture has failed the reason is rarely still clear. Here the result is there at once. The course covers the controls in eight steps. Each step adds one more control. The viewfinder holds a shutter dial, an aperture bar, a microprism ring and a light meter. The image brightens and darkens according to how the controls are set, and shows the depth of field and the grain of the film loaded. Lens and light meter can be matched to the camera at hand, for a realistic experience. Every frame is judged on exposure, risk of camera shake and focus.

The 2000s digital camera, rebuilt for your phone. Blown flash, CCD color, a date stamp burned into the corner โ€” the look of a point-and-shoot from 2003, live in the viewfinder before you press the shutter. No editing step. No filter picker afterwards. You pick a camera and you shoot. 27 CAMERAS, ONE TAP โ€ข Y2K digicam โ€” CCD sensors, hard flash, early-2000s compact color โ€ข 35mm film โ€” grain, halation, gold and slide stocks, half-frame doubles โ€ข Toy โ€” disposable, fisheye, cross-process, instant square prints โ€ข Tape & movie โ€” VHS warp, Super 8 flicker, 16mm, camcorder timestamps WHY IT LOOKS REAL Each camera is a whole pipeline, not one filter dropped on top. Color response is sampled per stock. Grain sits under the image the way emulsion does, not over it like a texture. Highlights bloom into halation, the lens vignettes and bends, chromatic aberration creeps in at the edges, and light leaks land differently on every frame โ€” so no two shots wear the same one. A DARKROOM, NOT A FILTER HISTORY Your untouched negative is stored next to the developed frame. Change your mind next week and re-develop the same shot on a different camera โ€” full quality, nothing overwritten, as many times as you like. The roll is yours and it stays reachable. PHOTO AND VIDEO Video is filtered while it records, audio and all, not processed afterwards. Tape distortion, dropped frames and camcorder date stamps are baked into the take. ALSO IN THE BOX โ€ข Import from your photo library and develop old shots on any camera โ€ข Pinch to zoom, tap to focus, flash and torch, front camera โ€ข Half frame shoots two exposures to one frame, like the real thing โ€ข Save to Photos at full resolution โ€ข Works entirely offline. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no data collected PRICE Seven days of everything, free โ€” every camera, photo and video, no card up front. After the trial one payment of $9.99 unlocks the whole library forever. No subscription, no per-camera purchases, no ads, ever. There is no free tier: when the trial ends the camera stops until you unlock it. Photos you already took stay in your roll either way.
