In short

lilocam is a photo and video app for iPhone that develops RAW captures into finished pictures using its own Nebula engine, with a collection of film-style looks and support for custom recipes. It suits photographers who want manual controls and film-like results. One standout feature is its pairing with compatible Fujifilm X-Trans V cameras over Bluetooth to share and edit custom recipes wirelessly.

About

THE FUTURE OF iPhone PHOTOGRAPHY. A revolution in your pocket. No more photos that look like they were shot on a phone. No more camera apps that slap on a filter, a preset, a LUT or a cube, and sell it to you as film simulations and custom recipes. And with PRO, you'll never pay for a "look" pack again: every new collection and feature are included, for life. Every button, strategically placed to minimize accidental touches.

Press the shutter and lilocam does what a darkroom does: it keeps the RAW negative and develops it, right on your phone, into a finished picture with your custom film recipe. Or use one of ours.

NO LUTS. NO CUBES. NO PRESETS. NO FILTERS. Not one. A filter paints a look over a photo that's already finished. lilocam develops the look from the RAW negative itself, through Nebula, its own film-lab engine: exposure, tone, color, grain and dynamic range, worked out for every picture, never pasted on top. It's the difference between a photograph that's been decorated and one that's been developed.

And because every RAW photograph stays a negative, nothing is ever final. Fall for a different look next week? Develop it again. No loss, no compromise.

THE LOOKS Two collections of film looks, plus your own: • The NIPPON COLLECTION: the color of classic Japanese film, from punchy slide film to deep black and white • The EUROPEAN COLLECTION (PRO): the color of precision German photography, rich, restrained and timeless • Bloom and Halation (PRO): the glow of light blooming through film, on any look • Your own recipes: build one, name it, pin it to the film strip and shoot with it. Spotted a recipe online? Point the camera at it, scan its QR code, or paste it in.

A REAL CAMERA P, A, S and M. An EV dial under your thumb. Every lens one tap away. Level, histogram and focus peaking. Five aspect ratios, from 1:1 to a sweeping 65:24 panorama. RAW, JPEG or HEIF. And a movie mode that grades your footage live, with your recipe.

YOUR DARKROOM, ALWAYS OPEN Every negative lives in your library, ready to develop again. Try any recipe on any RAW photograph or any movie, go back to how it was shot, build albums, and save, share or print the pictures you love.

WITH YOUR X-TRANS V CAMERA Pair a compatible camera and lilocam becomes its companion: • Pairs over Bluetooth on its own, no other app needed • Reads, writes, edits and deletes your camera's custom recipes wirelessly, no USB cable needed • Browse and download photographs and movies over the camera's Wi-Fi • Shoot remotely with the camera's own live view and controls

YOURS ALONE No account. No analytics. No servers. Every photograph stays on your phone.

WHICH iPhone Best on iPhone 14 Pro or later. RAW negatives need an iPhone with ProRAW (iPhone 12 Pro or later); other iPhones shoot JPEG or HEIF. Only a photograph shot as a RAW negative can be developed again with a different recipe.
