A cinema camera in your pocket.

Professional film looks, live in the viewfinder. Every look is a node tree of modelled lenses, film stocks, halation, bloom and grain, with far deeper colour than a LUT.

How a look is made

Not a filter. A node tree.

A LUT recolours a finished video image. Bloom Analog first turns the picture back into the light of the scene and then sends it through a chain of nodes, in the order real film works.

Same film data as the app. The example frames are ordinary iPhone photos and videos, turned back into scene light the same way as your own photo. Grain and glow are close approximations.

On the camera

What's inside.

One app for video and photo. Every look is calculated live, the same way it is in this page.

What Bloom Analog does differently
    And the pro tools you know from apps like Blackmagic Camera
      The roll

      Shoot a roll. Develop it later.

      Load a roll of 36 and shoot it in RAW. The negatives stay on your phone. Develop them when you are home: choose a film, push or pull, and the whole roll follows. Develop the same roll again in another film whenever you like.

      Filmlab

      Select your clips. Get an edit.

      Pick shots from your roll and Filmlab cuts a 15, 30 or 60 second edit on the phone. It never repeats a shot, lets a scene run when it needs to, and can split the frame in two or three. A roll also becomes a carousel for Instagram or TikTok.

      Not Bloom Analog. A second app.

      Shoot it together.

      Bloom Pocket is a separate app for parties and holidays. Everyone shoots on their own phone, and all the photos come together afterwards. No sliders, no settings, no manual.

      Together

      One party. Everyone's photos.

      Give everyone at the table a camera. Each guest shoots their own roll and hands it in when it is full. You end up with the whole day, seen by everyone who was there.

      Eight looks, nothing to set.

      Photo and video. Pick a look and shoot. Every look is finished, so there is nothing to adjust.

      Roll

      A roll of 27, like a disposable camera.

      Choose your film when you load the roll: Disposable, Disposable Fresh or Black & white. You only see your photos after developing, one by one.

      Simple

      Tap, shoot, share.

      Tap where it matters and Pocket focuses and sets the light there, then goes back to automatic. Select your photos and share them, or let Filmlab turn them into a carousel or a short edit.

      How it works

      01

      Load a roll

      Pick your film: Disposable, Disposable Fresh or Black & white. You get 27 frames and a counter. With Disposable the camera behaves like one: fixed focus, flash on.

      02

      Shoot

      Pocket keeps the negative of every frame, not a photo with a filter on top. You don't see a thing until you develop.

      03

      Develop

      Your photos appear one by one. Each is developed by the same film engine as Bloom Analog, which works out light, halation and grain per photo.

      04

      Hand it in Coming soon

      One tap sends your photos to the host. They are saved on your own phone first, and Pocket only ticks a photo off once the other side confirms it holds exactly the same file. Videos wait for Wi-Fi.

      Filmlab

      The party becomes a carousel. Or an edit.

      Pocket has the same Filmlab as Bloom Analog. Select your photos and clips, and it lays out a carousel for Instagram or TikTok or cuts a 15, 30 or 60 second edit on the phone. It never repeats a shot and you can adjust tempo, slow motion, emotion and effects.

      Not a filter app.

      Real film, not a layer

      Most retro cameras put a filter and random light leaks over a finished photo. Pocket rebuilds the light of the scene and sends it through a film model, the way Bloom Analog does.

      The negative stays

      In Roll mode every frame is shot as a RAW negative and developed afterwards, like a lab would. The negatives stay on your phone, also after developing and handing in.

      Photo and video

      Every look runs live in the viewfinder, for photos and for video. Hold the phone sideways and the video is landscape.

      Nothing gets lost Coming soon

      Handing in never deletes on a guess. A photo stays in the queue until the receiving side has confirmed the identical file. Pocket never asks to read your whole photo library.
