NiCam
Shoot today, feel like 1998
NiCam turns your iPhone into a vintage film camera without the slider hell. Pick a film stock (Portra 400, Kodachrome 64, CineStill 800T...), point, shoot. The look is baked in: real grain, accurate halation, proper color science per stock, optional date stamp. No presets. No 14 sliders. Just shoot like it's 1998. Built with Metal shaders not LUTs. Made by one indie dev.

A few months back my girlfriend kept telling me she wanted one of those old digital cameras. The chunky ones with the small screen on the back. I didn't really get it at the time, kind of brushed it off. Then on her birthday, her best friend showed up with an old iPhone 6 she'd dug out of a drawer. Scratched, slow shutter, terrible sensor. The whole night people kept passing it around taking photos with it. And every single person at that table was losing it over the pictures. The colors were off, the focus was soft, the timing was always a second late. But somehow the photos felt more like the night than anything our new phones captured. I kept thinking about it for weeks. The thing people loved wasn't really nostalgia. It was that nobody had to edit anything. You pressed a button and got something with character to it. No 14 sliders, no filter scrolling, no "let me fix this in Lightroom real quick." So I started building NiCam for her. You open it, pick a film stock (Portra 400, Kodachrome 64, CineStill 800T, a few others), and shoot. The grain, the halation, the color science - all baked into the capture, not slapped on after. No editing screen. No processing wait. Just point and shoot, like a real camera should feel. She uses it pretty much every day now. That was kind of the whole point. 3-day free trial, then it's a paid app - no ads, no free tier with locked stocks teasing you. You either go in or you don't. If you actually shot film back in the day and notice something wrong with a specific stock, please tell me. That's the feedback I want the most. 🎁 For Product Hunters get 1 month free instead of the 3-day trial. There's no code field in the app, just tap this link from your iPhone and it'll apply automatically: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ct... -Boran
