Kachik app icon: a black digicam with a lime flash

Good to know.

Place palettes, years and Misclicks are creative interpretations. They are not calibrated reproductions of any camera, film or location, and the place grades are starting points you can tune. Demo images in the app and on this page are AI-generated and labelled. Flash Burst picks from preview-resolution frames, not full stills. Share opens the standard iOS share sheet; what Instagram or WhatsApp accept depends on those apps, and Kachik never posts on its own. Requires iOS 26.
