Getting the picture is the play

These are not 15 filters. They are 15 cameras. The controls you touch first change with every one.

Wind on

After every shot, you wind it yourself. Until you do, there is no next frame. Lever, crank, dial: the motion changes with the era.

Set the distance

Align the double image. Join the split vertical line. Hold to lock focus. If you do not finish the adjustment, the picture stays out of focus.

Choose the light

Turn the shutter-speed dial and match the needle. A setting you miss stays missed in the photograph.

Wait for development

Nothing appears the moment you press the shutter. Pour the solution. Wait for the card to emerge. Keep your hands off until the image comes up.

15 cameras

They are named for their eras. None recreates a particular product.

Only the 2026 camera lets you choose its base era, grain, vignette, and photo shape.

How it works

PhotosProcessed only on your device. They are added to your photo library only when you choose to save.

A fair warning

There is waiting. You cannot take every photo right away. Focus can miss, and the camera can shake. The 1827 camera needs to sit by a window while you hold it steady with two fingers.
Even unsuccessful photos remain. That is part of why we made it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use it for free?

You can try every one of the 15 cameras for one photo per camera per day, free of charge. They reset when the date changes. For unrestricted use, buy an individual camera you like as a one-time purchase, or buy all 15 together as a one-time purchase.

How much does it cost?

There are two one-time purchase options: buy the 14 cameras through 2008 individually, or buy all 15 together. Buying all 15 together is a much better value than buying the 14 cameras individually. Only the all-15 purchase gives you unrestricted use of the 2026 Custom camera. Please see the App Store for the current price. There is no subscription.

Can I use it offline?

Yes. The app contains no code that communicates over a network, and no account registration is required.

Where do my photos go?

They stay on your device. A photo is added to your photo library only when you choose to save it. Nothing is sent anywhere, and there is no automatic upload.

How is this different from a filter app?

The difference is in the operation, not just the image. Each of the 15 cameras has its own sequence for winding, focusing, and development, so the motions that make a picture are different.

Does it use real cameras?

No. It does not recreate particular products or models. These are 15 original cameras for this app, rebuilt around the ways photographs were taken in different eras.
