Sousou
Lab.
A small studio making quiet, tactile iOS apps — for listeners, photographers, and anyone who still prefers the weight of a cassette in their palm or the click of a shutter dial.
Index of Works
Four apps, in no particular order.
Chroma
Film color, film grain.
A camera built around film simulation — a library of stocks, each one reproducing the color response and grain character of the original, processed locally as you shoot.
- Film simulations
- Color response
- True grain
- RAW-aware
- Capture history
Solos
A cassette player for Apple Music.
Play Apple Music through a retro cassette deck — vinyl and CD, too — with the weight of a tape in your palm and nothing rushing the song.
- Cassette
- Vinyl
- CD
- Landscape
- Rewind
SnapCam
Every parameter, by hand.
Professional capture for the iPhone — shutter, ISO, and focus under your control, RAW + DNG out. No over-sharpening, no smoothing.
- Shutter · ISO
- RAW + DNG
- Film grain
- 28 · 35 · 50mm

Light Meter
Your iPhone is the meter.
Point it at the scene, read the exposure, set your film camera. Aperture and shutter priority, direct EV readout, and a film-stock database with reciprocity compensation baked in.
- EV readout
- Film stocks
- ND filter
- Reciprocity
- Shot log
Software can be quiet. A music app can feel like an object; a camera can respect light the way film does. We design, write the Swift, argue about typography, and ship.
