A1F Camera, the camera that spends your tokens
A handmade AI camera turns each shot into a Japanese-style illustration, using a green phosphor-like viewfinder and a deliberately limited daily supply of frames.
Field notes
The camera’s interface makes scarcity part of the mechanism: an OLED reports tokens consumed, daily frames remaining, and percentage used, so taking another picture becomes a visible decision. The listed body weighs 279 g and measures 117 × 121 × 46 mm, with a 3000 mAh battery, USB-C charging and data, and a separate $49 LED module. The page also describes NFC sharing and an HTTP local server, though those capabilities are presented as product features rather than independently verified behavior.
