// ABOUT
Open. Point. Shoot. Share. RetroCam puts five authentic analog filters right in your camera viewfinder — live, in real time, before you even tap the shutter. No editing app, no timeline, no AI smoothing. Just the filter, baked into your photo or video the moment it's captured. — VHS: chroma bleed, tracking-noise bands, warm shift and soft vertical jitter. The real tape look. — CRT: additive scanlines, barrel-warp vignette, phosphor tint and a hint of bloom. — 8-Bit: pixelation, posterized colour palette and Bayer dithering. Proper chunky pixels. — B&W Film: luminance desaturation, animated grain and a classic film tone curve. — Lo-Fi Digicam: the early-2000s pocket camera — over-sharpened, slightly bloomed, punchy colours. Swipe left or right to switch filters on the live viewfinder. Tap the shutter for a photo. Hold for up to 15 seconds of filtered video. On the result screen, tap to toggle between filtered and original — see exactly what the filter did. Save to your camera roll or share straight to TikTok, Instagram, BeReal, or anywhere on the iOS share sheet. NO ACCOUNT. NO INTERNET. NO ANALYTICS. Everything happens on your device. RetroCam has no backend, no tracking, and no third-party SDKs. Camera, microphone (video), and Photos add-only permission are the only things it touches.
