NeoFilm brings the authentic 35mm analog film photography experience natively to Android. Built with Jetpack Compose, it features true Kodak and Fujifilm color science, tactile mechanical shutter haptics, shareable Film Recipe QR codes, and a darkroom contact sheet studio. Say goodbye to over-sharpened AI photos. Capture timeless grain, authentic film tones, and the lost craft of analog shooting right from your phone.
Hey Product Hunt! ๐
I'm Ahmad, an Android engineer and analog photography enthusiast. I built NeoFilm out of personal frustration with the mobile photography landscape today.
While iOS has long enjoyed a rich ecosystem of dedicated analog film simulation apps, Android users have largely been left behind with default stock cameras that push aggressive AI smoothing, synthetic HDR, and hyper-saturated colors that strip the soul out of photography.
I wanted the nostalgic, tactile feeling of walking around with a classic 35mm point-and-shoot camera. So I locked in and built NeoFilm natively from scratch using Jetpack Compose and CameraX.
โจ Here is what makes NeoFilm special:
- Authentic Film Color Science: Custom tone curves and grain matrices inspired by legendary 35mm color negative and timeless black-and-white stocks.
- Tactile Skeuomorphism: Custom mechanical shutter sounds, physical haptic clicks, and a retro LCD frame counter.
- Recipe QR Codes: Just like vintage rangefinders and modern film-sim cameras, create your own custom recipes and share or import them instantly via QR code.
- Darkroom Studio: Render authentic 35mm film strips, contact sheets, and retro frame borders ready for print or social sharing.
No mandatory upfront paywalls to test itโthereโs a free tier and trial so you can take it for a spin.
I would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and critiques! What film looks or camera features should I build next?
Thank you so much for the support! ๐๏ธ๐
