Islet - Retro Camera

Islet turns your iPhone into a retro instant camera — and your Dynamic Island into the slot the photo prints from.

Frame your shot, press the big red shutter, and watch a polaroid slide out of the top of your screen, develop, and drop into your gallery. It's the unmistakable ritual of instant film, rebuilt natively for iPhone.

FILM LOOKS, DONE RIGHT

• Ten hand-tuned looks inspired by real stocks — Kodak Gold, Portra, Fuji, Velvia, Polaroid 600, mono, sepia and more.

• A GPU film engine (Metal) adds true split-toning, tone curves and grain — not a flat overlay.

• Dial any look up or down with an intensity slider, and your favourites so they're always first.

• VSCO-grade grain, light leaks and a warm vignette — toggle them per shot.

A REAL CAMERA UNDERNEATH

• Tap to focus, drag for exposure, pinch through every lens your iPhone has (0.5× / 1× / tele).

• Front and back cameras, true flash, and a self-timer.

• Long-exposure mode for silky motion and light trails.

• 4-up photobooth mode for a classic strip.

• Aspect ratios and frame styles: classic white, cream, black border, Instax.

KEEPSAKES, NOT JUST FILES

• Every print lands in a tactile gallery you can flip through.

• Attach a voice memo to a photo — the sound of the moment.

• "On this day" memories resurface old shots.

• A home-screen widget shows your latest print.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• No account. No ads. No tracking. No network.

• Your photos stay on your device unless you choose to Save or Share them.

Islet is GEN 1. Load some film and start shooting.
