Shoot like it is still back then
Modern phones fix everything — the blown sky, the noisy shadows, the soft corners. backthen puts all of it back. Pick a device and the whole pipeline changes: the lens, the sensor, the noise reduction, the JPEG. What you see in the viewfinder is what you get.

Plain
No processing at all, for comparison
17 devices, not 17 filters
Each preset is a whole imaging chain — barrel distortion and chromatic aberration from the lens, sensor noise, the era's noise reduction, the tone curve, then the JPEG artifacts on top. An iPhone 2G is soft and hazy. An iPhone 7 is sharp and punchy. They are not the same picture with a tint.
The camera UI you remember
The mode wheel, the shutter, the grid — laid out the way the camera app looked back then.
Live, not after the fact
The filter runs on the preview at camera speed, so you frame the shot you are actually going to get.
Your photos stay yours
