Description

A real light meter when you carry film, and a film camera when you don't. Film looks built on true RAW capture - grain, halation and color that behave like film, not a filter on a flat photo. No AI, no account, nothing leaves your phone.

Could you build this?

Partial The app relies on custom raw camera sensor pipeline processing, light metering calibration, and custom shaders (Metal) for authentic analog film emulation rather than standard CSS/image filters.

What it would actually take: Built on Swift using AVFoundation and Metal for GPU shaders, the app intercepts Bayer RAW or uncompressed framebuffers to compute precise scene illuminance (lux/EV). It applies custom color grading LUTs, mathematical grain synthesis, halation spread models, and tone curves in real-time. Developing this requires specialized knowledge of computational photography, sensor calibration, and GPU shader programming.
