ELMAR

Shoot film. Scan film. All on your phone.

What it does

Film camera app for Android inspired by the Leica ELMAR 50mm lens. Shoot: 7 film simulations (Kodak Portra, Fuji Pro 400H, Velvia, Cinestill 800T and more), ELMAR lens effect, tilt-shift, focal length selector (28/35/50/75mm), and video recording. Scan: Point your phone at a developed negative — ELMAR inverts and color-corrects in real time. Supports color negative (Fuji/Kodak) and B&W. Built by a one-person AI-powered dev lab, for people who love film but live on their phones.

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
