Eluvo
Shoot analog film on iPhone, view only after development
A native SwiftUI app that brings the deliberate, mindful experience of film photography to your iPhone. Choose a roll, shoot with fixed constraints, and wait for your photos to "develop" before you can see them. No instant previews, just pure nostalgia.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I recently built Eluvo to bring the mindful, delayed-gratification experience of film photography to iPhone. Honestly? Building it was way more of a chaotic deep-end than I ever expected.
The concept sounds simple: pick a roll, shoot with fixed capacity, lock the photos, and wait for them to "develop." But the magic is in the details, and getting those right nearly broke me:
🎨 The Color Nightmare: I tried using AI to generate the film LUTs at first—they looked awful. I had to ditch the AI, manually learn how LUT color-grading chemistry works, and tune the filters by hand.
📐 Design Fatigue: The UI went through two complete ground-up redesigns because the first version worked technically, but lacked that tactile, nostalgic soul.
🛒 IAP Bugs: I tried coding the StoreKit system from scratch, hit a wall of bugs, and eventually surrendered to RevenueCat to keep my sanity.
It was a messy process, but Eluvo is finally live. The app and our signature urban film roll (Eluvo) is 100% free, with the Premium color filters required payment.
Since we just launched, I would love your brutal feedback on our App Store Optimization (ASO), the onboarding flow, and the color filters.
Excited to hear what you think! 👇
