Film camera app for Android

Every photo,
a memory you can feel

Nost Camera turns your phone into a shelf of classic cameras. Pick a camera body, a lens and a film — and shoot with the look already on. No filters to fiddle with afterwards.

How it works

Pick a camera.
Pick a lens. Pick a film.

That's the whole workflow. Nost bakes the look in as you shoot, with AI exposure that keeps faces bright and skies full of detail — so every frame is ready the moment you take it.

SLR ProRange 35Tape Cam
01 — BODY

16 camera bodies

35mm SLRs, rangefinders, disposables, instant, early-digital CCD, camcorders and cinema cameras — each with its own colour, contrast and grain.

02 — LENS

40 lenses

Every lens adds its own character: oval bokeh and streak flares, dreamy halation, vignette, haze and real focal lengths.

03 — FILM

1,200+ looks

Warm negatives, punchy slide film, soft pastels, moody black-and-white and big-screen grades. See them live and set how strong each one is.

Drag the slider to compare, then try a film. The colours come from Nost Camera’s own look engine — here pushed up strong, with film grain, dust and scratches on top.

Look names are Nost's own film simulations, not affiliated with any film manufacturer.

Film texture engine

Grain you can feel.
Dust that moves.

Ten film textures, each with its own grain size, dust, scratches, gate weave, light leaks and flicker — animated on live view and video, frozen beautifully on photos. Mix any texture with any colour look.

Cinema classics

30 big-screen grades,
in your pocket.

A curated collection of cinema colour grades inspired by the most-loved movie looks — neon noir, desert epic, pastel grand hotel, teal-and-orange blockbuster. Pair them with a cinema camera and an anamorphic lens for streak flares and oval bokeh.

The camera shelf

A century of cameras.

From the camera obscura and daguerreotype to 2000s CCD point-and-shoots and 4K cinema bodies. Each one changes how the light, colour and texture of your photo feel.

Master guidelines

Never wonder how to pose again.

Pick a guide and an outline traced from a real photo appears on the viewfinder. Line yourself — or your friends — up and shoot.

  • Portrait, couple, group, travel, food, street, night, pets, macro and architecture
  • Outlines traced from real photos, not stick figures
  • Composition helpers: thirds, golden ratio, level and grids
  • Turn guides on or off with one switch

Everything else

Simple to shoot.
Deep when you want it.

Smart capture

AI exposure and tone that recognises the scene, protects faces and balances highlights and shadows. Night, long-exposure and panorama modes.

Shoot like a pro

Manual EV, ISO and shutter in one panel, a level, grids, timer, volume-key shutter and an orange film date stamp — on by default.

Edit anytime

Change camera, film, lens or strength later without losing quality. Curves, colour mix, grading, crop, perspective, healing and selective edits.

Gallery & People

All your shots — and your phone's whole gallery — in one place, with smart folders, favourites and People, which groups photos by face entirely on your phone.

Portrait retouching

Smooth skin that keeps real texture, brighter eyes, background blur with depth and subject lighting — all processed on the phone.

Private by design

Your memories
stay yours.

No account, no analytics SDKs, no cloud. Every look, edit and face group is computed on your phone — your photos are never uploaded to us or anyone else.

Questions

Good to know

Is Nost Camera really free?

Yes. Every camera, lens, look and editing tool is included. The free version shows ads; a one-time Remove ads purchase on Google Play turns them off for good. There is no subscription.

Is it available on iPhone?

Not yet — Nost Camera is Android-only for now. Join the list and we'll let you know when it comes to iOS.

Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?

No. All processing — film looks, filters, portrait retouching, face grouping — runs on your phone. There's no account and no cloud. The only downloads are the on-device AI models for advanced editing, fetched once; nothing about you or your photos is sent.

Can I change the look after I take a photo?

Yes. Nost keeps the original, so you can switch camera, film, lens or strength later in Edit without losing quality.

Does it work for video?

Yes. Looks and film textures — grain, dust, flicker and light leaks — are animated live on the viewfinder and recorded into your video.

Which phones are supported?

Modern Android phones with Google Play services. Face grouping (People) needs a 64-bit phone, which covers nearly every phone from the last several years.
