A film camera for your iPhone · Coming soon

LATENT.

A film camera, not a camera app.

Thirty-six frames per roll. No preview, no retakes, no delete. Your photos develop for 48 hours — and you'll see them when they're ready.

Go on — press the shutter. Real recorded shutter. 700 ms film advance. No burst. Load another roll
COMING SOON — JOIN THE FIRST ROLL

The rules · 01–36

No preview. No delete.

Every phone camera says yes to everything. Latent says no three times — and that's the whole point.

Per roll

36 frames

A counter tells you what's left and nothing brings a frame back. When the roll runs out, it runs out. Make the frames count.

In the finder

The scene, never the shot

No live filter, no retake, no gallery to second-guess. The film's character is applied when the roll develops — not before.

To develop

48 hours

Finish a roll and it goes dark for two days. Load another and keep shooting. The wait is the feature.

Developing

The photos exist.
You just can't see them yet.

47:59:12

Developing · Roll 07

Two days later your roll comes back as a contact sheet — thirty-six numbered frames, the film's look baked in for good.

No progress bar to game, no peeking. While one roll develops you can load another and keep shooting. Keepers save at full resolution to a Latent album in your Photos.

YOUR FILM IS READY.

The film

Five stocks. Five characters.

Each stock is a real emulation recipe — tone curve, channel mix, grain, vignette, halation — not a filter you drag over a photo. Tap a stock to preview it on a sample scan, the way you'd judge the photos on the side of a film box.

Sample portrait scan — a woman in front of the Eiffel Tower — rendered in the selected film stock
Sample scan 01 NOVA 200 · ISO 200 · F 2.2

Web preview, approximated. In the app, previews run through the real emulation pipeline — always on sample scans, never on your own shots. The mystery is your roll.

The details

Quiet by design.

Dark shutter

Press the shutter and the screen goes dark, not bright. Film doesn't flash you.

Film advance

700 milliseconds between frames while the film advances. There is no burst mode.

Real emulation

Every stock compiles to 3D LUTs and renders on the GPU at develop time. Grain is deterministic per frame — your photo always looks like your photo.

Sound & touch

A recorded mechanical shutter and a film-advance tick in your palm. Both optional.

Contact sheets

Rolls come back as numbered contact sheets — the way film comes back from the lab.

Your photos

Developed frames save straight to a Latent album in your Photos. Full resolution, look baked in.

Film costs money · That's the point

Never run out of film.
