Zerocam is a bare-bones alternative to camera apps with an emphasis on post-processing and effects.
The app lets you shoot up to 5 pics a day without a subscription.
Subscription prices start at $1 a month, with a discount if you go annual.
The rise of powerful AI tools has created a situation where there’s a lot of pressure to use them to solve pretty much every problem under the sun. And while that can lead to some impressive results, it can also perversely highlight when a less-is-more approach might be superior. That feels especially true when we’re talking about photography, and while software algorithms have been enhancing our pictures (https://www.androidauthority.com/google-photos-enhance-photos-sharing-apk-teardown-3466492/) for years, there’s growing pushback against AI output (https://www.androidauthority.com/googles-ai-photo-editing-tools-make-me-uncomfortable-3469021/) that’s over-processed and lacking natural charm. Now a new camera app for Android takes that sentiment and runs with it, offering what the devs call an “anti-AI” camera.
Zerocam (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zerocam.app) embraces that minimalism right in its name, and upon firing up the app for the first time, it’s clear that approach extends to its user interface, as well: “stark” would be an understatement. You get your viewfinder, a big shutter button… and that’s about it.
