You can’t peek here

Vallumia is a camera from the film era, rebuilt for your phone. Every roll is shot blind and comes back days later, developed.

Free · the 6-frame trial roll is back by morning

The loading screen: a camera, drums for frame count, stock and process, and the button “Load · Classic 250 · 24 frames”

12, 24 or 36 frames

You load a roll — 12, 24 or 36 frames — and shoot without a preview. The stock is chosen before the first frame, and stays to the end of the roll.

No reshoots. No deleting.

There is no screen to check, no frame to delete. Developing will show what you got.

The viewfinder shows the framing, not the result.

The camera screen: the roll’s viewfinder, frame counter at 01 of 24, the shutter
The lab screen: a dried plate, a roll that has arrived with the button “Open the envelope”, and a roll in progress — 5 more days

Developing: 5–7 days

A finished roll goes to the lab. The trial is back by morning; a real roll takes days. It can’t be hurried.

At drop-off the lab names the morning your film will be ready. There’s one push — that morning.

By morning, an envelope

Prints arrive in a sealed envelope. What’s on them, you’ll see only once you open it.

One plate, every day

One frame a day, revealed the next morning. The exposure is fifteen seconds of stillness.

Plate 9×12

The plate exposure screen: a negative in the window — a room with a record player and a floor lamp, seconds counting toward fifteen, the exposure ring around the shutter
The codex screen: a shelf of film stocks with Theatre 800 selected, the lab subscription below

Stocks with character

Classic 250

Loads free of charge

The everyday stock: warm tones, soft grain, soft edges. Forgives dusk and asks for no sun.

Theatre 800

On the subscription

A tungsten stock for stages and night streets: blacks to zero, pink light, edges drift, almost no grain.

Polar 200

Limited · on the subscription, in season

The winter edition: warm neutrals and deep blacks, open shadows, a soft image.

Resort 100

Limited · on the subscription, in season

The summer edition: the bleached colors of a southern noon, a teal haze in the shadows, fine grain.

Lab subscription

Free: one roll at a time and the daily plate, with the standard film stock.

The subscription adds film stocks from the codex and seasonal limited editions, a second roll to shoot in parallel, and full-size copies in Photos. It comes monthly or yearly, or as a one-time purchase.

Everything stays on your phone

No account, no feed, no analytics.

When you reveal a developed frame, a copy is added to Photos if you allow it — among your recent photos, with no album of its own. The app only adds copies and never reads your library.

Six frames, on the house

The lab gives you a trial roll. Waiting is the product: development time can’t be shortened or bought — and never will be.
