mood.camera is a point-and-shoot camera that captures natural photos full of character, straight out of your iPhone, without any editing. Instead of chasing ever-sharper and perfectly exposed images, mood.camera focuses on making photography fun and giving your photographs soul.
The custom image processing pipeline gives you photos with realistic film grain, cinematic halation and a rich colour palette. mood.camera also has no live "filter" preview or editing tools within the app, encouraging you to enjoy taking photos without worrying about flipping between effects or making the perfect edit.
mood.camera wasn't built to evoke nostalgia, it was built to bring character and serendipity back to the mobile photography experience.

TRY FOR 7 DAYS FREE
Please note, mood.camera is not free. We offer a 7-day unrestricted free trial for new users, no subscription required. After your trial you can continue to use the app for free but you will be limited to the “random” emulation mode. To continue using the full version of the app after your trial period you can either purchase a lifetime membership or pay a monthly subscription.
EXPRESSIVE COLOUR EMULATION
Each of the 14 colour emulations have been meticulously crafted to give every photo character and a rich colour palette.
FILMIC DYNAMIC RANGE
Naturally compressed shadows and highlights create images with more contrast, more atmosphere, and a look that feels closer to film.
REALISTIC FILM GRAIN
Film grain algorithms modelled on the physical development process, add texture and physicality to your photos whilst retaining detail.
CUSTOM PRESETS
Add a touch of warmth to your favourite preset, or start from scratch to create an original style.
NEXT LEVEL PORTRAITS
Combined with mood.camera's filmic characteristics, portrait mode gives you photos with smoother object separation and convincing bokeh. (Available on iPhone 11 or newer).
CINEMATIC HALATION
Using the iPhone’s dynamic range gain map to accurately identify the brightest highlights, creating a realistic halation effect. (Available on iPhone 12 or newer).
CUSTOM FRAMES
Elevate your photos with a custom frame, automatically added when you snap a photo.
LESS TWEAKING, MORE SNAPPING
Mirroring the classic film camera experience, there is no live preview of your selected film, letting you focus on capturing the moment instead of flipping between filters. After each capture, the element of suspense as you reveal the processed photo is another nod to the analog experience.
INTUITIVE CONTROLS FOR CREATIVITY
At its core, mood.camera is designed to echo the ease of use of a point-and-shoot camera but retains some controls to inspire creativity and personal expression:
- Set the default focal lengths for each lens, giving you quick access to your favourites.
- An on-screen exposure dial, makes it easy to achieve different styles with under and over exposed images.
- Select from multiple aspect ratios to suit the scene.
- An optional grid & level indicator gives you confidence when composing.
- High resolution 24MP photos on compatible devices. (Available on iPhone 14 Pro, 15 Pro & 16 Pro).
- Customise the dynamic range of your camera. (Available on iPhones capable of ProRaw capture).

“Mood has filled the biggest hole in my photography life, which is spur of the moment, day to day scenes when I shouldn’t even be thinking of taking photos. Even with my “real” camera at home, Mood allows me to capture the little moments with nothing but my phone and some inspiration.“ - Cole, professional photographer.

Mood is hands down one of the best camera apps I’ve ever used on iOS! The styles are absolutely gorgeous — every shot looks like it belongs on a magazine cover or in an art gallery. I love how easy it is to use, and the instant mood transformation it gives my photos is just magical.One feature I’d really love to see in future updates is video shooting with the same beautiful mood filters — it would be amazing to capture moving moments with the same aesthetic. Also, it would be super cool if the app could use AI to auto-select a style that matches the vibe of the scene or subject when randomly snapping — like a smart mood match!Keep up the amazing work, and thank you for making such a beautiful tool for creators! 💫💕
One of the Best!

I use the default camera with Photography Styles, ProCamera app for RAW images and this one found me wanting more! The tweaking of settings before hand makes us more educated on the modifications we make to the camera, not just some filter. The app is beautifully designed, intuitive to use, there is just the right balance between Skeuomorphic design and latest snappy iOS design. The v2.0 has been a major upgrade and I launch it with Camera Control all the time now. I still wish for a 48MP output for those who are willing to wait for it! Keep doing the great work!
Everyone started loving my pictures

I had to write this, I know it sounds like an ad but literally everyone I know who is into art really started appreciating my pictures more now. They just keep asking what filter or editing app I used because the pictures turn out so good. There are such good options with this app. Also the viewfinder helps with the framing and I like the customisable quick tap zoom options.
Photography is great but…

I really love the app and its limited control on the capture settings which allows me to be surprised by the results. Sometimes the results are so good I want to cry and sometimes they are just average which is part of the artistic process. What bugs me is how the app just crashes sometimes and doesnt even capture the intended frame. Also, deleting photos from within the app is quite scratchy and slow. The portrait shooting crashes 9 times out of 10. Hope the developers will work to make these smoother. I have signed up for the premium subscription and I intend on using it as an alternative to the main camera.
