Bugfixes and performance improvements.

Bugfixes and performance improvements in preparation for the next major update.

This update brings back haptic feedback and adds a new capture format setting, letting you choose between 4:3 and 9:16!

This release introduces a new feature allowing you to influence the noise profiles in edit mode. Keep an eye out for the new 'Noise Boost' slider!

Bugfix: Add metadata back to exported images. This update also prepares CoreCam for the next major feature release. Thanks for your support!

Fixed bugs to improve the Lock Screen and iPad version of CoreCam. Thanks for your support!

Presets are here! You can now save your edits as custom looks and reuse them anytime. This update also includes three custom looks to get you started. Previously: Introducing Edit mode! Your #1 requested feature is now live. You can use CoreCam to edit any photo or video on your phone. Edit mode uses the same camera modes and settings you already know. Pick a camera, adjust the bias slider, and dial in your preferred effects. On top of that, edit mode also includes standard adjustments like exposure, temperature, saturation, and more. You can enter edit mode by tapping the SD card icon in the upper left of the viewport, or via the new Share Sheet action in the Photos app. Prefer editing over shooting? You can set CoreCam to launch in edit mode by default. Happy editing!

Bugfixes and performance improvements in preparation for the next major update.

This update fixes the recall of persisted settings for the Lockscreen version of CoreCam (Yes, you can put CoreCam on your Lockscreen too!). Previous major update: NEW: Introducing [seele] camera! [seele] is an homage to the soul of early 2000s digicams and camera phones, the Cyber-shot and RAZR era. It has two different characters you can dial in using the main bias slider. In positive bias, seele produces a strong bloom that drifts into cyan hues. Highlights become overexposed, while shadows stay dark. This mode is ideal for artificial lights and night scenes. In negative bias you'll get strong chroma noise and compression artefacts. As the simulation falls apart and reveals its digital core, you'll see fixed pattern noise and false colour appear. This mode is perfect for busy city scenes, flash portraits, and even nature photography. BAYER (seeles's special effects mode) seele comes with a faithful simulation of a Bayer colour filter array and a fast demosaic reconstruction. When enabled via the star icon, high-detail regions begin to break: moiré, false colour, and zippery edges will appear. TIPS: - Try seele with low exposure: tap a bright area in your viewfinder. The amount of light hitting the sensor changes how strong the bloom becomes - Combine negative bias with the lo-res mode (set low) for a more realistic noise texture - When using seele in negative bias mode, make sure to set video quality to "high", else the encoder will eat up your noise texture!

This update fixes a bug that caused the torch to freeze the camera preview when using different lenses. Thank you for your support!

CoreCam can now remember your exposure settings across startups; which means 2 taps less for low-exposure lovers. PS: Next major update is in progress!

NEW: lo-res mode The new lores mode allows you to virtually downscale CoreCam’s image sensor to any size between 0.3 MP, VGA 640, and 144p webcam levels. It works with all cameras, including video and selfie mode. CoreCam remains a one-time purchase. Thank you for supporting independent iOS development!

NEW: Video Stabilization. Choose from three stabilization modes for steadier shots; or keep it off for full flip phone realism.

CoreCam has been updated for iOS 26. You'll see new Liquid Glass–based interactions where they make sense. Performance on older devices has also been improved.

This update resolves issues relating to the lockscreen mode of CoreCam. Previous version: Introducing CoreCam 2.0 with Video Mode. VIDEO MODE Switch to video mode with a single tap and capture footage with your virtual digicam. CoreCam is the only app that also adapts your recording's audio profile to simulate the authentic microphone quality of the y2k era. Video mode is included as a free update; no In-App Purchase needed. LENS SWITCHING CoreCam 2.0 features a completely rebuilt camera backend that significantly improves performance and reduces battery consumption. If your iPhone has multiple lenses, you can now switch between them. The zoom functionality is also crisper and sharper than before.

Preparations for the next major update and bug fixes.

Bugfixes and performance improvements while I lay the groundwork for the next major update that many of you have been waiting for.

Further performance improvements, and more sensible defaults for the special effects modes.
