No more photo stacks
With the delayed shutter you no longer end up with ten almost identical shots of the same moment. You take one, and it counts.

One more.
Fewer, but better photos.
Mindful Camera turns every shutter press back into a decision. You wait briefly after each photo, and a roll only holds as many shots as you give it.
Try it yourself
Your turn. Press the shutter.
If you just keep pressing the shutter without really looking, you end up with a photo stack, say 20 almost identical pictures of the same moment. The cooldown prevents that: the next photo only comes once the ring is full.
Try it with a roll of 12 shots, right here on the page. The wait is real, and you decide how strict it is.
Ready. Think about whether this photo is worth it.

Development
Develop first. Then see.
You decide when you see your photos: instantly, at the end of the roll or the next morning at 7 am. Until then they stay in the dark.
Contact sheet
36 photos. Each one chosen.
In the end the whole roll lies in front of you. Share it as a contact sheet or open single shots in your gallery.
What else is inside
A real camera. Just slower.
Review
Shots in total, per month and your busiest days.
Film advance
Push the film forward with your thumb instead of waiting out the cooldown. A small ritual before every photo.
Video
Film for as long as you like. A clip costs one shot, however long it is.
Viewfinder
Grid, level, self-timer and flash. Volume down can take the shot if you like.
Haptics and shutter sound
So a shot feels like a shot. You can switch both off.
What is Mindful Camera?
A camera app for more deliberate photography. You wait briefly after each photo, a roll only holds as many shots as you give it, and if you like, you only see your pictures once they are developed.
When will the app be available?
Mindful Camera is coming soon to Android and iOS. As soon as it is available, you will find the links here on this page.
What is the cooldown?
The wait after each photo while the ring fills up. That puts an end to photo stacks, so no more ten shots of almost the same picture. You set it yourself: off, 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds, and any other value on a custom roll. With film advance you push the film forward with your thumb instead of waiting.
What happens when a roll is full?
That's it until you load another roll. The everyday roll starts fresh every day. If you prefer it more generous, you can set unlimited shots.
Can I shoot video too?
Yes, for as long as you like. A clip always costs one shot from the roll, however long it is.
Which languages is the app available in?
German and English.
Who is behind it?
Mindful Camera is a solo project by an independent developer and part of TK Apps.
Take your time.
Mindful Camera is coming soon to Android and iOS.
