Now in 50 languages. 82 live lenses - VHS, dither, console shaders, glitch and six real film stocks - rendered inside your viewfinder before you ever press the shutter. Stop filtering your photos after the fact. Point your camera at the world and step into a different era in real time - a late-night VHS tape wobble, a glowing phosphor arcade screen, a nostalgic handheld summer. 1-Bit Wonder is a live retro camera. No waiting, no post-processing, no rendering screen. The effect lives inside your viewfinder at full frame rate. What you see is exactly what you capture. Swipe through 82 hand-tuned lenses across 9 creative families: • PIXEL - Step into 8-bit nostalgia. Dithered textures, retro handheld screens, classic game console colors, and risograph print styles. • VHS - Capture the warmth of analog. Tracking tears, retro tape bleed, and worn-out cassette wobbles. • CRT - Bring back the high-voltage glow of retro TV monitors, scanlines, and arcade screens. • CONSOLE - 1990s console and handheld rendering: low-poly 3D with warping textures, four-color handheld LCD screens, and DOS-era palettes. • GLITCH - Distort reality with pixel sorting, datamosh drift, and time-bending slit-scans. • GLOW - Drown your shots in dreamy light-trails, neon halos, and low-fi waveforms. • B&W - High-contrast halftone grids, newspaper print, engraving lines, and ink textures. • FILM - Six real film stocks: Super 8 grain, halation, expired-emulsion color shifts, and tungsten-balanced night film. • EXPO - The experimental room housing our strangest visual distortions. Shoot live, or open a photo or video you already have and run any lens over it. Snap high-quality HEIC stills or record lo-fi videos with full audio. Since every lens renders instantly, your shots are finished and ready to share the second you press the shutter. Perfect for socials, music videos, or everyday aesthetics. RUNS ENTIRELY ON YOUR DEVICE Every lens is rendered on your iPhone's GPU. No account, no upload, no cloud queue, and nothing to wait for. 1-Bit Wonder works in airplane mode. NOW IN 50 LANGUAGES The app and the App Store listing are fully localized. Step out of the clean, digital present. Grab 1-Bit Wonder and start shooting. --- UNLIMITED ACCESS SUBSCRIPTION • Unlock the complete library of all 82 lenses, every feature, and future updates. • Choose weekly or yearly (the yearly plan includes a 3-day free trial), or buy lifetime access once. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel your subscription any time in Settings inside the app, or in your Apple Account settings.

FIFTY LANGUAGES 1-Bit Wonder now speaks yours. The whole app - every menu, every lens family, every line of the paywall - is translated into 50 languages, from Arabic and Hindi to Vietnamese and Ukrainian. A REAL SUBSCRIPTION SCREEN Settings now has a proper membership section. Change your plan, restore a purchase, ask for a refund or cancel - without leaving the app and without hunting through Apple Account settings. STEADIER PURCHASES Buying, restoring and unlocking were rebuilt from the ground up. Purchases made on one device now show up on your others without a manual restore, and an interrupted purchase finishes itself when it can. As always: 82 lenses, all rendered live on your device, nothing uploaded anywhere.
