Behym
Read full descriptionHide full description
Behym turns your own photographs into a printed retro newspaper edition you can keep for good. Key Features: - Compose: open the house catalog and start an edition. Each house carries its own era, its own page count and its own Ink cost. - Edition Editor: every page of an edition keeps its own picture, its own copy and its own house style. Change one page without touching the rest. - Photo & Text: pick a page first, then set its picture from the built-in plate collection, your camera or your photo library. - Rewrite: choose a page and let the desk set the voice for that page alone. - Sticker Wall: lay vintage stamps over the edition before it goes to press. - Preview & Save: read the finished edition page by page, then save it as a landscape PDF. - Archive: every edition you press stays on this handset. Open, edit or share it again whenever you like. - Gallery: post a plate to your own wall on this handset, applaud the plates you like and leave a note on them. - Press Ink: buy a themed cartridge offering to add Ink on this device and bind a new edition. Catalog prices start at $0.99 and stay fixed in the app. - Settings: change your display name, set the type size, review blocked desks, read the terms and clear local data. Privacy First: - Behym keeps everything on your handset. Editions, gallery posts, local desks and Ink are stored on the device and are never uploaded. - There is no analytics, no advertising and no third-party tracking of any kind. - The camera, photo library and microphone are used only at the moment you take a picture, choose one or dictate copy. - Ink is consumable and cannot be recovered once the app is removed or its data is cleared. Behym — set the page, pull the proof.
