FOVI is the camera that helps you get the shot. Point your iPhone at a scene and tap Assist. FOVI looks at what the camera sees, tells you what it thinks you’re shooting, and suggests only the settings that matter - focus, shutter, exposure, white balance. You review every change first. Nothing changes on your camera until you say so. ONE TAP TO GET THE SHOT * Tap Assist and FOVI reads the scene. No typing, no digging through menus. * It tells you what it’s assuming — Talking to camera, Product, Landscape, Action — and you can correct it with one tap. * Want something specific? Describe the shot in your own words. * If your setup already suits the scene, FOVI says so and leaves it alone. SEE WHAT CHANGED, AND WHY * Every suggestion comes with a plain-language reason. * Review the changes before you apply them. * After you apply, FOVI confirms the settings the camera actually applied. SHOT CARDS Share how you got the shot. A Shot Card is a record of the decision: what FOVI noticed, what it changed, and what the camera confirmed. Share it with a friend or save it to Photos. Cards are made on your device and never include your location. SAVE YOUR SETUP Found a setup you love? Save it and bring it back the next time you’re in a similar scene. A REAL CAMERA, EVEN WITHOUT ASSIST FOVI is a full-featured camera for photo and video, with exposure compensation, focus and white balance control, and Standard or ProRAW capture on supported iPhones. Assist is there when you want a second opinion, not in the way when you don’t. BUILT FOR * Creators filming themselves talking to camera * Product and food shots for your shop or feed * Travel, landscapes and everyday moments * Anyone who wants better photos and video without learning every setting first PRIVACY FOVI doesn’t require an account. When you use Assist, a still frame from your camera and your current camera settings are sent to a third-party AI provider to generate suggestions. Nothing is sent unless you tap Assist.

Y2K Digicam

The 2000s digital camera, rebuilt for your phone. Blown flash, CCD color, a date stamp burned into the corner — 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 • Y2K digicam — CCD sensors, hard flash, early-2000s compact color • 35mm film — grain, halation, gold and slide stocks, half-frame doubles • Toy — disposable, fisheye, cross-process, instant square prints • Tape & movie — 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 — 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 — 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 • Import from your photo library and develop old shots on any camera • Pinch to zoom, tap to focus, flash and torch, front camera • Half frame shoots two exposures to one frame, like the real thing • Save to Photos at full resolution • Works entirely offline. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no data collected PRICE Seven days of everything, free — 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Y2K Digicam at none against FOVI Camera's 2. Y2K Digicam also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
