Night Keeps

Read full description

Night Keeps is a focused low-light camera for moments that should still feel like night. Capture dinners, small concerts, dates, rainy streets, and ambient light without turning every shadow into daylight. FIVE LOOKS, READY TO SHOOT Start with five restrained photo looks at no cost: • True Night keeps darkness natural and highlights controlled. • Ember protects warm restaurant and dinner light. • Velvet adds a softer, intimate portrait mood. • Neon Rain brings out neon glow and wet street color. • Silver creates a crisp monochrome noir finish. THE COMPLETE NIGHT COLLECTION Full Access is one optional, one-time in-app purchase. It unlocks 15 additional looks—including Midnight, Blue Hour, Streetlight, Aurora, Cinema, Analog, Noir, and Sepia—and removes ads permanently. There is no subscription. SHOOT OR BRING YOUR OWN PHOTO Take a new photo, switch cameras, or choose one image through Apple's system picker. Every look is rendered on your iPhone. Save a finished copy or use the system share sheet. PHOTOS STAY PRIVATE No account is required. Your photos are processed on your iPhone and are never sent to us or to the advertising service. The free version may show a banner and occasional full-screen ads according to your ad privacy choices. Core capture and editing remain available without an account. Night Keeps combines a film-inspired, analog sensibility with fast modern capture for dark scenes, concert color, vintage warmth, and rain-lit streets.

Paper Press

Put anything on the front page. PAPER PRESS is a camera that prints. Point it at your dog, your lunch or your roommate, and the viewfinder already shows a newspaper front page or a wanted poster: halftone dots, real ink colors, warm paper. FRONT PAGE A masthead, today's date, a headline and your photo. Write your own headline ("LOCAL DOG WINS EVERYTHING") or keep the one that's there. You can rename the newspaper, too. WANTED A classic wanted poster: a big title, a framed photo, a name and a reward. Made for pets, siblings and snack thieves. THREE PRESSES NEWSPRINT — charcoal ink on warm off-white paper, with bold dots like a local paper. MONO — a finer, cleaner black-and-white press for portraits and buildings. COLOR — two inks, blue and red, printed on top of each other. Where they overlap, you get the shadows. Every press works with every page. Or pick PLAIN and print the photo edge to edge. SEE IT BEFORE YOU SHOOT The viewfinder shows the finished page, and that's exactly what gets saved. No sliders, no surprises. GOT A PHOTO ALREADY? Pick one from your library and run it through the press. FULL RESOLUTION, NO WATERMARK Save or share at the original size. Zoom in and the dots are still there. The newspaper's name at the top is yours to change. PRIVATE Everything happens on your device. Your photos never leave your phone. No account, no cloud, no uploads. WHY IT LOOKS PRINTED Most print effects lay a dot pattern over the image. PAPER PRESS works in the order a real press does: tone first, then screen, then ink, then paper. PAPER PRESS is free and supported by ads. Everything is included, with no in-app purchases and no limits. A short full-screen ad plays after you shoot, before your print appears. There are no ads over the camera, the printing screen, or your finished photo.
