(Not Boring) Camera is a thoughtfully crafted camera app designed to reignite the joy of photography while embracing the imperfections that make images unique. It combines advanced technology with a playful approach, offering features that cater to both casual users and professional photographers. Its proprietary SUPERRAW™ processing delivers faster captures with natural grain, sharper details, and film-like exposures, without relying on AI, ensuring high-quality Raw digital negatives compatible with tools like Lightroom and Photoshop. The app also supports Apple’s ProRaw format and basic processing.
One of its standout features is professional-grade color grading using 3D LUTs, enabling realistic film simulations and cinematic effects. Users can choose from built-in presets, import LUTs from creators, or create their own, with new styles introduced regularly. Customization is a core aspect of the app, allowing users to personalize the camera interface to match their aesthetic preferences.
(Not Boring) Camera offers HDR functionality for enhanced dynamic range and detailed highlights, while its fully 3D interface mimics the tactile experience of using a physical camera with dynamic lighting, sound effects, and haptics. For photographers seeking precision, the app includes manual controls for exposure, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and focus, along with advanced tools like focus peaking, histograms, and zebra stripes.
Designed for speed and convenience, the app can snap photos within a second from the lock screen, with customizable shortcuts for quick access. Privacy is a key priority—no data is collected, stored, or shared. While praised for its innovative features, users have noted the absence of video and zoom capabilities. Compatible across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision devices, (Not Boring) Camera offers a free download with optional in-app purchases for premium features.
