Section 02 · Film simulations

Eleven rolls.
Each one a decision.

Every film simulation is a 64-cube color LUT, hand-tuned in DaVinci Resolve from real reference scans. No saturation knobs, no presets - the look is baked into the file the moment you press the shutter.

01 / 09

  1. CLASSIC NEG

    Restrained, melancholic, everyday.

    Fuji Classic Negative character - muted greens, lifted blacks, a soft cyan in the shadows. Modeled on Superia 100/400.

  2. CHROME

    Editorial, dry, considered.

    Fuji Classic Chrome character - low saturation, warm earth tones, suppressed magenta. The mid-century photojournalism look.

  3. CINE 800T

    Cinematic, warm, nostalgic.

    CineStill 800T character - tungsten-balanced motion picture stock. Warm amber highlights, cool blue shadows, saturated midtones.

  4. NOSTALGIC

    Hazy, dreamy, faded.

    Fuji Nostalgic Neg character - pale blue haze over warm amber midtones, washed highlights, lifted shadows.

  5. EKTA E100

    Cinematic, jewel-toned, oceanic.

    Kodak Ektachrome E100 character - reversal stock with deep lapis blues, warm gold midtones, jewel-tone saturation.

  6. PORTRA 400

    Soft, warm, intimate.

    Kodak Portra 400 character - warm pastel skin tones, creamy highlights, fine grain portrait stock.

  7. SEPIA

    Vintage, quiet, archival.

    A warm brown monochrome - cream highlights, deep sepia shadows, no split tone. The look of a family photo pulled from a drawer in 1978.

  8. MONOCHROME

    Calm, neutral, classic.

    Neutral black-and-white with a soft toe and gentle highlight rolloff. The everyday mono roll - no drama, no tint, just tonality.

  9. ACROS

    Graphic, dramatic, sharp.

    Fuji Acros character - high-contrast B&W in the orthopanchromatic tradition. Dense shadows, hard midtone pop, pencil-on-paper texture.

Section 03 · Filter layer

Stack a second look.

Long-press the film tab to pull a filter on top of any film sim - expired film, halation glow, real photographic light leaks. Two looks baked into one roll.

    EXPIRED GREEN

    HALATION

Section 04 · Controls

Built like a camera.

Every visible element of Scatto is custom-drawn. No system buttons. No floating sliders. Metallic toggles, a yellow film tab, and a recessed shutter - controls that ask to be touched.

  • Manual exposure

    Shutter, ISO, and exposure compensation as physical pills along the viewfinder. Tap to lock, drag to adjust.

  • Built-in album

    A film-strip album lives inside Scatto. Browse your rolls, tap a frame for the full view, no jumping to Photos.

  • Hand-tuned LUTs

    Every film simulation is a 64-cube color LUT, mastered in DaVinci Resolve. Not a quick saturation slider.

  • Filter layer

    Stack a filter - expired film, halation, light leak - on top of any film sim. Two looks, one roll.

  • Real camera UI

    Metallic toggles, a yellow film tab, a recessed shutter button. Every control feels like it belongs to a body, not a phone.

  • On-device by default

    Photos save to your own album on your phone. No accounts, no sign-up, no cloud upload - your captures stay yours.

Section 06 · Philosophy

Less screen.
More camera.

Some cameras shoot JPEG-only on purpose. They choose a look and ask you to live inside it. Scatto borrows that posture - committed look, locked-in aspect, no escape hatch.

The iPhone has a smaller sensor, a fixed lens, and a bottomless camera roll. Scatto leans into what the iPhone is: vertical-native, always-on, single-handed.

What you get is a camera that disappears the second you launch it. One tap to switch a film stock. A toggle for stills or movie. A shutter that knows what year it is. The rest is up to you.

"A camera that makes your iPhone feel like a camera again."
Ready when you are

Shoot your
first roll.

Hand-tuned film. Real controls. A camera worth carrying.
