Camera Nocta. I started making an Android app to take better black and white photos of my wife, and it snowballed into a full fledged film-styles app for both Android and iPhone (if I ever get app store approval). It's best for portraits (tuned for a lot of skin) and fashion photography.

The RAW pipeline is my own, with my own denoise, because I hate the "skin waxing" that bad noise reduction and AI seem to do. So there's lots of natural grain. The UI is somewhat opinionated because geared towards more shooting and less editing. The editing tools are my own ideas regarding how to push color (more like dye and pigment than like saturation tools).

It's out on Android, but the Test Flight has more users (1,478) than the released Android app I think. Every single artist that showed interest online used an iPhone, so I guess I should have expected that.
