Lvma — film-look camera

Frank Hermann

About this app

Lvma (pronounced “luma”) is an Android camera app built around choosing a film look before you shoot.

I built Lvma because I enjoy playing with the camera more than editing every picture afterwards.

Lvma is in open beta. It works today and I shoot with it regularly, but things are still moving.

Lvma is free and stays free. There are no ads, subscriptions, or features to unlock.

What you can do with Lvma

- Choose a built-in film look, tweak it, or create and save your own preset
- See the selected look in the viewfinder before taking the picture
- Shoot one-handed in portrait or landscape
- Customize the Quick settings Q panel and the two Capture controls beside the shutter
- Choose how Tap focus behaves: Continuous focus or a five-second Focus lock
- Decide which exposure values, limits, histogram, preset, and aspect-ratio details stay visible
- Customize the app and camera themes, accent color, control style, and value labels

Your photos are processed and stored only on your phone. There is no Lvma server for photos.

Lvma includes minimal analytics and crash reporting through Measure, an open-source library. It is off by default, and nothing is collected unless you enable it in the settings to help me find bugs.

What’s new

• Live Preset Editor: Edit presets with a live preview, freeze-frame comparison, and redesigned controls.
• Custom Preset Selector: Choose and arrange the presets shown in the camera.
• Smoother Navigation: Restored smoother predictive back navigation across the app.
