schmamera
a free camera for iphone. no ads, no accounts, no tracking. it just takes pictures.
it's an early beta, for iphone on ios 26 or later. some things will be rough. tell me when they are.
drag the photo or the ruler. same frame, seven looks.
looks you blend with a drag
natural, warm, soft, vivid, dusk, mono and plain. drag across the photo and it blends from one look into the next, as far as you drag.
what you see in the viewfinder is the photo you get. no surprises in the camera roll later.
plain, and raw if you want it
plain is developed from the sensor's raw data, so it skips the heavy processing phones usually pile on. it looks like what was actually there.
flip one switch and a dng file comes along with every shot.
plain works from raw on the lenses that give it. the rest get as little processing as i can manage.
manual when you want it
focus, shutter, iso and white balance. focus peaking, a loupe, a histogram and stripes on clipped highlights.
when you don't want any of that, auto is one tap away.
help that never touches the picture
the dot in the shutter shows when your hands are steady. hold the shutter down and it waits for the stillest moment, then takes it.
if a shot comes out soft, or someone blinked, you get a quiet heads-up. none of it changes your photo.
the small stuff
pinch to zoom across every lens. the selfie camera's there too. camera control and the volume buttons take the picture.
and it opens from the lock screen, because the good moments don't wait for face id.
it's free. that's it.
no ads, no account, no analytics. the app doesn't make a single network request, so there's nowhere for your photos or anything else to go.
i built the camera i wanted to use. that's the whole business plan.
