A camera for people who prefer the dark.

Spire is an Android camera with 16 dark film looks. Some are just moody and overcast. Some are proper goth. The look shows on screen before you take the photo, and the photo saves to your gallery.

  • Take as many photos as you like.
  • Everything stays on your phone.

A soft glow around bright windows and street lamps.

Mostly in the midtones, like real film.
Coloured shadows
Dark areas keep some colour.
Olive greens
Grass and trees get pulled toward olive.
