Kino
A video camera app that shoots film-style color
The verdict
Apple named it iPhone App of the Year for 2024, and it comes from the team behind Halide. Kino records video with color grades already applied, and AutoMotion steers exposure toward the shutter speed films use, so clips look finished without editing, while manual mode, focus peaking and your own LUTs are there for pros. It costs $9.99 once and runs only on iPhone, with Family Sharing for up to 6 people.
