A creative app that runs camera footage, photos, games, and screen content through a simulated analog-TV signal chain.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-24 issue.

For: Filmmakers, retro-gaming players, musicians, and VJs
Worth noticing: Its comparison says dot crawl follows color-brightness boundaries, while the overlay filter’s grain sits uniformly across the image.

Field notes

The homepage lays out a chain from camera tube and composite signal through videotape and aerial reception to a simulated picture tube, then explains artifacts such as dot crawl and cross-colour as signal-dependent effects. It lists iPhone/iPad, Mac, and Apple TV versions, plus capture formats including ProRes 4444/422 HQ on Mac and HEVC/H.264; iOS is listed with HEVC. Community presets and a Mechanical Lab are also linked.
