About Kachik
Kachik is a camera for people who would rather set a look than borrow one. Build your own recipe. Choose a colour, explore a year, add texture, and if you feel like it, let one thing go pleasantly wrong. Name your combination and make it yours to shoot with again. YOUR COLOUR. YOUR RULES. • Colour: 30 palettes combining places across India with clean everyday looks. • Year: 12 era-inspired styles spanning 1996 to 2026, from film-diary warmth to crisp digital. • Camera character: 26 original camera and film-inspired interpretations across Rangefinder, Film, Cinema and Digital, including Pocket Flash and CCD 2006. • Your mix: adjust warmth, colour depth, contrast and strength. • Grain + noise: choose a texture preset, then shape grain size, softness, colour noise, shadow bias and noise reduction. • Misclicks: 16 optional visual accidents, including Cracked lens, Light slip, Thumb Slip, Monsoon Droplets and VHS Tracking. Adjust their strength and explore three variations. • Signatures: name, save and reuse your recipe. Share it through a recipe file or QR code, or import someone’s combination and make it your own. MAKE EVERY EDIT YOURS Explore with undo and redo. Reset one slider, one editing panel or everything back to the original photo. Double-tap a slider for a quick reset. Your selected option stays centred as you browse. Small dots mark your changes, and editing panels remember the tool you last used. Compare with Original while your photo stays visible. Import photos or revisit your private roll. MORE CAMERA. FEWER INTERRUPTIONS. Open straight to a large live preview, with Photo, Burst, Video and Edit within reach. Pinch to zoom, adjust exposure and choose your photo aspect ratio on the preview. Browse colour, year and effect previews, then apply your recipe when it feels right. TWO SIDES OF THE MOMENT Double Take puts the scene above and you below in one photo, using your current style. On compatible iPhones, it combines front and rear camera previews into a 720 × 1280 split image. YOUR LOOK, IN MOTION Record vertical 720p clips up to 15 seconds with your chosen recipe and optional sound. Review, trim or mute your clip, then choose whether to keep, save or share. A LITTLE SPARK Open Sparks from the top bar for six swipeable shooting prompts exploring reflections, colour, motion, texture, contrast and night. Optional photo references from Wikimedia Commons include creator credits and source links. Try a suggested colour and year on your camera, then keep it or undo it. Original prompts work offline. FROM INDIA Find colour in Jaipur’s pink stone, Mumbai’s kaali peeli, Kolkata’s marigold and Srinagar’s lake hush. Request nearby palette suggestions or explore the atlas. Your location is never attached to a photo. SHARE IT YOUR WAY Share a photo, build a card or add an Instant paper frame. Choose your format, add your own words and control the Kachik watermark. Share an ordered set of up to ten photos, or combine up to four into Grid, Stack and Swatch layouts. Apply a signature to selected photos as new copies, preserving the originals. Choose Full size, Share ready or Small file. Copy images and captions separately, and save favourite sharing layouts. MADE FOR YOUR OWN EYE No account, follower count or popularity score. Suggestions never change your photo on their own. Editing works on device. Your private roll keeps clean masters and untouched originals. Keep in roll, Save to Photos and Share are separate choices. Apple ProRAW is available on supported cameras, with the original DNG kept untouched. Burst chooses the sharpest recent preview frame; hardware flash uses a fresh still. Shortcuts, the Action button, Control Centre and Lock Screen controls offer quicker ways in. Adaptive previews support compatible ProMotion displays. Online Sparks references are optional. Your camera images and location are not sent to Wikimedia Commons. Point. Shoot. Make it yours. Made by CRIT Studio.
