NaturalCam

One Bayer RAW frame. No Smart HDR, no Deep Fusion.

NaturalCam launched on August 13, 2026 with 8 votes, #1,241 of 23,274 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.

What it does

NaturalCam takes one Bayer RAW frame from one locked physical lens and develops it with Apple's processing switched off — no Smart HDR, no Deep Fusion, no sharpening, no noise reduction. The untouched RAW is always kept, so any shot can be redeveloped later. Nine looks, visible live in the viewfinder. Long exposure built from real one-second frames, since iOS won't hold a shutter open past one. Free on TestFlight — iOS 18, any iPhone with a Bayer RAW rear camera.

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
