Scatto - Retro Film Camera

Turn the dial. Trip the shutter.

Scatto is an iPhone camera that brings the dial back. Tap to lock, drag to adjust, snap a metal toggle, fire a shutter that feels like one. Hand-mastered color. No menus.

THE FILM

Eight color looks, each mastered as a 64-point LUT in DaVinci Resolve. Not presets. Not a saturation knob with a name.

• OVERCAST. Muted greens, lifted blacks. A 200-speed print left in a bag for a summer.

• PARCHMENT. Slide-film yellows, warm earth, highlights that hold. A documentary photo from 1972.

• ENAMEL. Saturated reds, deep blue skies, sun-drenched contrast.

• DAYLIGHT. Honest color, gentle contrast, accurate skin. The scene, not a mood.

• AMBER. Amber highlights, cool blue shadows. A late-summer afternoon, the way you remember it.

• BLEACHED. Pale blue haze, warm midtones, lifted shadows. A California afternoon in a fifteen-year-old photo album.

• PACIFIC. Lapis blue, gold midtones, ocean teal. The Pacific coast at golden hour.

• PEACH. Warm pastel skin, creamy highlights. A portrait roll printed on a calm afternoon.

LAYER A FILTER

Stack one of four classic looks on top of any sim. Two looks, one roll.

• EXPIRED GREEN. Olive cast, muddy shadows. A roll forgotten in a hot car.

• EXPIRED RED. Magenta lean, washed highlights. The drugstore disposable.

• EXPIRED NEUTRAL. Warm cream, quiet patina. Vintage softness without the cast.

• HALATION. Orange-red bloom around the brights. The cinema-film glow.

THE BODY

• A yellow pill film tab. Swipe to switch, long-press to layer a filter.

• A metallic STILL / MOVIE toggle that clicks like a real switch.

• Manual exposure pills. Tap to lock, drag to set: shutter, ISO, EV.

• A draggable portrait preview with real depth.

• Every control belongs to a camera, not a screen.

THE ROLL

• Captures land in Scatto's own album, grouped by day like a roll of film.

• LCD-style date overlay and EXIF readout on every frame.

• Horizontal paging through the roll, multi-select to save or delete in bulk.

• Optional mirror to Apple Photos, off by default.

ON YOUR PHONE

• No accounts. No sign-up. No cloud syncing your roll.

• Photos save to Scatto's own album on your device and stay there unless you choose to share them.

iOS 17 or later. iPhone 13 and newer recommended for best preview performance.
