mono+ is a camera app built around analog film simulation. Every photo and video passes through a real-time render pipeline — grain, halation, tonal warmth, shadow lift — baked permanently into every capture. Not a filter applied after the fact. A look built into the image itself. 27 FILM SIMULATIONS Ten B&W modes, ten film stock emulations from Kodak Tri-X to CineStill 800T, and seven vintage processes including Super 8, VHS, and Daguerreotype. Each one built from the real characteristics of the film it references. THE PRO PANEL A floating glass overlay with six categories of precision controls. Tone, color grading, decay effects, borders, overlays, and settings — all accessible without leaving the viewfinder. Drag it anywhere on screen. Every slider updates the render pipeline in real time. SAVED LOOKS Build your signature look across filter, grain, tone, color, decay, and border. Save it with a name. Recall everything with a single tap. Your visual library, always at hand. DECAY AND DEGRADATION Light leaks, halation bloom, film burn, dust, scratches, gate weave, color bleed, and fade — each independently controllable. Zero by default. As much or as little as the image needs. VIDEO All film simulation renders in real time during video recording. Every frame processed at full resolution. What you see in the viewfinder is what gets saved. TELEPROMPTER Built-in scrolling script overlay for video recording. Your audience sees you. You see your words. Paste any script, set your speed, hit record. HUD A recording heads-up display with timecode, battery level, date, GPS coordinates, and your film ID — baked into video captures. SYSTEM PRESETS Four complete looks to start from — STREET, PAPARAZZI, POP, and FADE. Tap to apply, modify anything, save as your own. DESKTOP COMPANION Manage your preset library from your Mac or iPad. Build looks with the full lab editor, send custom borders, compose teleprompter scripts. Tap SHARE LOOKS on iPhone — your presets arrive in the Companion automatically via iCloud. Edit and send back with one click. Free with mono+.

mono+ 1.5 is the largest update since launch. Manual Exposure Direct control over shutter speed, ISO, and focus — independently, in any combination. S locks the shutter (1/500 to 1/15), Fixed ISO locks sensitivity (400 to 3200), F locks focus at the current lens position. Any combination is valid. Activating S or ISO switches to the physical wide-angle sensor; the full multi-lens system restores when both return to AUTO. The PRO Panel Six tiles: LOOK (Tone, Texture, Tilt-Shift), COLOR (Shadow and Highlight Tone, Print Tone presets), DECAY (Light, Texture, Color Effects), FRAME (Ratio, Border), OVERLAYS (Grid, Level, Histogram, Focus Peak, Zebra — viewfinder only), SETTINGS (your look library and the gear icon for System Settings). System Settings covers Text on Frame (Watermark with favorites strip, Text Overlay with color picker, Date Stamp), Film Data on Frame (Exposure ID, Film Stock), Location, Photo Booth, and Output. Borders Instant (forces square), Instant Black (forces square), Aged (forces square), Black, White, None. Custom PNG borders from the Companion with transparency preserved. System Presets Four factory looks: STREET, PAPARAZZI, POP, FADE. Long-press to remove; restores on Reset All Settings. ProRAW 48MP DNG capture on iPhone 12 Pro or later. One capture in flight at a time — the shutter badge shows processing state. The DNG carries the complete look as embedded LookDNA for finishing in the Companion. Mac Companion Four launch entry points. Look library with status dots, Expand/Collapse All, batch delete. Import look from any JPEG, HEIC, or DNG shot with mono+. DNG finishing with Temperature, Tint, and Exposure working on raw sensor data before the look applies. TIFF and JPEG export with configurable border inclusion. LookDNA Every capture embeds the complete look recipe in EXIF metadata. Travels through AirDrop and iCloud Photos. The Companion reads it directly from a dropped file.
