Description
Revela is a film camera that lives in your phone. Pick a roll from a fridge of twelve original stocks, shoot it with no preview, then mail it to the lab and wait: an hour, overnight, or days. When the envelope arrives, pull the seal and see your photos for the first time. Prints develop from RAW with per-stock curves, grain and halation, and save to Photos at full resolution. Casual mode skips the wait. One price, no subscription, no account.

Could you build this?
Yes This is an iOS camera app that captures photos, applies post-processing/film filter shaders, and enforces an artificial timed delay before revealing the image. Standard SwiftUI with CoreImage or Metal filters can achieve this easily.
