I spent 3 years building my dream camera app.
There are many good camera apps, but none that could match the feel, quality, and experience of a real camera. To do that, this was my must-have list…
Has to capture more natural photos : Most phone photos look very flat and over-processed. We built a custom Raw processing pipeline (we call it "SuperRaw") that strips out all the AI enhancements & denoising and instead use more film-like tone mapping for more natural exposures and grain.
Needs in-camera color processing : Raw looks great but the editing pipeline is a pain. We built the first camera app with built-in support for LUTs. Collaborated with some talented folks like AgBr on preset LUTs, plus you can import your own.
Has to feel as satisfying as a real camera : Built the first fully-3D camera UI with haptics, sounds, dynamic lighting, manual focus ring.
Has to be customizable : Made it possible to fully customize every part of the camera UI.
How'd we do?

@asallen Hey Andy! I've been playing with an 'iCamera' app recently that looks exactly like this ... is this the same with a rebrand?

@ragsontherocks Nope. This is !Camera. Part of our (Not Boring) Apps collection.
@ragsontherocks @asallen I love this app! Such a creative take, and the tactile elements make it such a joy to use. Congrats on the launch!

@asallen Beautiful app! I love how you’ve integrated classic skeuomorphism, contemporary design, and intuitive haptics so effortlessly. As a fellow iOS developer, I find this inspiring!

This is so satisfying to use. Been playing with it as soon as it came out.
I think this is going to be my go-to camera app on my phone.
Congrats on the launch! :)

@timobechtel Love to hear it. It's my new default as well.

Nailed video! Unfortunately, I have an older version of iPhone, so I couldn't try it, but love the playful design :)
