Zerocam
A one-button iPhone camera with zero processing
The verdict
Most no-AI camera apps add dials, and Zerocam takes them away. You get one shutter button, almost no menus and an image pipeline without fake HDR, halos or beauty filters, plus Zero Looks color grades that change every month. A new Pro mode adds manual ISO and focus when you want it. Its App Store rating sits at 3.9 stars, below Lampa and Phlow, so expect some rough edges.
Get it if
You want natural-looking iPhone photos but never want to think about settings.
Skip it if
You shoot RAW and edit everything, where LibreCam or Phlow give you far more control.
