Chobial is a film camera and photo editor for iPhone and iPad. It's for people who want a film look on the phone they already carry. You see the film live in the viewfinder, and you swipe across the picture to change it. The film never changes the original photo, so you can develop it again in another film next week. There are 46 films, and each one is a recipe you can open and change. No account, no analytics, no ads.

Hi, I'm Masnun, a software engineer who loves photography. I made Chobial on my own.
I wanted my iPhone to shoot like my Fuji. (Chobial is not connected to Fujifilm.) Apple's Photographic Styles are lovely, but they turn off when you shoot RAW. A RAW file is the full data from the camera sensor, before any colour style is added. Filter apps save a look into a JPEG, so you can't change the look later.
You see the film live in the viewfinder, and swipe to change it.
It shoots RAW by default, with HEIF and JPEG too.
The original stays, so you can pick another film next week.
All 46 films are recipes you can open and change.
Type "warmer, with a darker sky" and Describe Edits moves the sliders.
It's free to shoot, develop and make films, and to save in 22 films. Chobial Pro saves in all 46, plus photos with masks, heal and clone. It's $29.99 once, or $14.99 a year with the first week free (US prices).
It's on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo. Android 12+ is in a closed beta on Google Play.
The team is me, a lot of coffee, and the same hibiscus, photographed far too many times. Tell me which film you'd want next, and what was confusing.
