ISOCHROME
A FILM-INSPIRED CAMERA FOR IPHONE.
THE PHOTOGRAPH IS FINISHED WHEN YOU TAKE IT.
IN ONE PARAGRAPH
Isochrome is a camera, not an editor. You choose a film simulation, frame the shot and press the shutter — and the photograph is finished. Twenty-one simulations render live in the viewfinder, so the look is part of taking the picture rather than something applied afterwards. It is not real film and does not pretend to be: each simulation is a considered digital interpretation of a classic 35mm stock, its grain, contrast curve and colour temperament. Aperture, shutter and ISO are there when you want them. Three simulations are free permanently, and nothing leaves the device — no account, no analytics, no server.
Shorter still: “An iPhone camera for people tired of editing every photograph.”

THREE ANGLES
Whichever fits your readers. They are the same app seen from different sides.
What if taking the photograph was the final step?
Phone photography has quietly become a post-production habit — take the picture, decide later what it should look like. Most people never get to later. Isochrome puts the decision back at the shutter, which is what made shooting film feel like photography.
A camera app that admits what it is
It does not claim to be film. Each simulation is described as a digital interpretation of a stock — an unusually plain position in a category built on the opposite.
For when the camera stayed home
Built for photographers who own a Fuji, Ricoh or film body and want a photographic experience on the phone they actually carry — and for people whose iPhone was always the camera, who simply want frames with more character and no editing queue.
THE SHELF
Twenty-one simulations across three families — twelve colour negative, four reversal, five black and white. Three are free permanently. Nothing is sold individually; Pro opens all of them at once.
- Focal lengths from 13mm to 85mm, switchable without leaving the viewfinder
- Manual aperture, shutter and ISO — each independently switchable to auto
- Optional date stamp, exposed into the frame at capture rather than layered over it
- Full resolution, full EXIF, no watermark on the free simulations
DATE STAMP
Optional, and exposed into the frame at capture rather than layered over it afterwards — the same way a film camera burnt the date into the negative. It runs down the left edge of the frame and carries the film loaded at the time. Every photograph on this page was shot with it on.
Four formats, or off entirely.
FROM THE DEVELOPER
“Isochrome works the way shooting film works. You choose the film first, then you shoot — and that is the photograph. There is no editing afterwards, because there is nothing left to decide.”
ANDREAS PRATIKTO
“Most photographs taken on a phone are never edited anyway. Isochrome just moves the decision to where film always had it: before the shutter, not after. Choose a look, frame the shot, press the shutter — the photograph is finished when you take it.”
ANDREAS PRATIKTO

DEVICE MOCKUPS
Transparent PNGs at 1000×2167, so they drop onto any background. They show the real interface with real photographs in the viewfinder, with no headline text over them.
APP STORE SCREENSHOTS
Five at 1260×2736. These carry their own device frame and headline text — they are marketing images rather than raw interface.
