Welcome to Indie App Spotlight. This is a weekly 9to5Mac series where we showcase the latest apps in the indie app world. If you’re a developer and would like your app featured, get in contact.
NeoCam is a fun, new camera app for iPhone and iPad that brings a Game Boy camera style look to all of your photos. It works in real time, can be adjusted on the fly, and more.
Highlights
Out of the box, NeoCam has a few core filter options: GamePal, a old GameBoy screen style look, Mermaid, a more blue color scheme, and Hope, a cool red/blue filter. There’s also two grayscale options. Within each filter, you can adjust the exposure, pixelation, and dither strength. You can also create your own filters with your own color pallets, and share/collect with the community.
NeoCam doesn’t just take photos though, it can also do video. Out of the box, it only captures square photos, though you can also capture different aspect ratios if you purchase Plus.
Lastly, you can also import and edit existing photos with these specialized styles, bringing a retro look to your whole library.
Download the app
NeoCam is available for free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad running iOS 18 and later. For free, you can capture photos with a plethora of filters, but to record video, dither photos from your existing library, shoot different aspect ratios, and have a watermark free experience – you’ll need NeoCam Plus, which is available as a $5.99 one time purchase.
