Meet ISM, the vintage camera in your pocket. 35 film cameras, a real viewfinder, a darkroom with recipes, and film rolls you develop as contact sheets.
Meet ISM, the vintage camera that lives in your pocket. Modern phone photos all look the same. ISM gives them character again: shoot through classic film cameras and digicams, see the look live in the viewfinder, then finish every frame in a darkroom built for film lovers.
FREE TO START, ISM NOIR FOR EVERYTHING
ISM is free to download and free to use with a curated set of cameras, filters, and basic adjustments. Everything else described below is unlocked with an ISM NOIR subscription purchased separately in the app. Eligible new subscribers may receive a free trial. The app shows the available plan duration, trial length, and localized price before purchase.
SHOOT LIKE IT IS 1998
Choose from 35 cameras inspired by legends like Kodak, Fujifilm, Polaroid, Leica, Hasselblad, Lomo, and Holga, plus VHS and 8mm video looks. Every camera pairs a real color LUT with authentic film grain, so what you see in the viewfinder is exactly what you get. Swipe left or right to change cameras without leaving the shot.
A REAL VIEWFINDER
The full-screen viewfinder has an exposure instrument with ISO, shutter speed, and exposure compensation dials, or leave it on auto. Tap the focal length chip to jump between 13, 26, and 50 mm, turn on the grid and level to keep horizons straight, and add flash, a timer, and the classic digicam date stamp.
THE DARKROOM
Edit with more than 60 film filters and adjustments for exposure, contrast, saturation, highlights, shadows, temperature, and more. Add darkroom effects like halation, bloom, light leaks, chroma, and dust, or lay real paper and matte textures over your photo. Crop, straighten, rotate, and flip. Undo, redo, and press to compare with the original. Editing is non-destructive, so your original is always safe.
RECIPES
Save your favorite edit as a recipe and apply it to any photo in one tap. Six built-in looks get you started, from Golden Hour to Scanned Neg.
FRAMES, TEMPLATES, AND PHOTO BOOTH
Wrap your shots in film, Polaroid, cinema, disposable, and medium format frames. Pick from 20 templates for collages and stories, add text overlays, or shoot a photo booth strip straight from the camera.
YOUR FILM ROLLS
ISM keeps your photos in film rolls inside the app. Review a roll as a contact sheet, pick the keepers, and export them to your Photos library.
SUBSCRIPTION AND FREE TRIAL
ISM NOIR is an auto-renewing subscription purchased separately in the app. Available plans, free-trial eligibility, trial length, and localized prices are displayed before purchase.
If you do not cancel before the free trial ends, the subscription auto-renews at the price of the plan you selected. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

This is the biggest ISM update yet. The camera, the darkroom, and the way you keep your photos have all been rebuilt.
A REAL VIEWFINDER
The camera is now full screen. An exposure instrument gives you ISO, shutter speed, and exposure compensation dials, or stays on auto. Tap the focal length chip for 13, 26, and 50 mm, swipe sideways to change film cameras, and turn on the grid and level to keep horizons straight.
THE DARKROOM
Six new film packs and four darkroom looks. New effects for halation, bloom, light leaks, chroma, and dust, plus split toning. Crop, straighten, rotate, and flip. Undo, redo, and press to compare with the original. Save any edit as a recipe and apply it in one tap.
FILM ROLLS AND DOUBLE EXPOSURE
Your photos now live in film rolls. Review a roll as a contact sheet, pick the keepers, and export them. Shoot a double exposure straight from the camera.
STUDIO AND TEMPLATES
Select several photos at once, paste an edit to all of them, and recover mistakes from a 30-day trash. Templates gain pinch and pan in every slot, drafts, and a 1:1 format.
ALSO
A full settings screen, scalable type and accessibility improvements, and a faster, lighter app. Thanks for shooting with ISM.
