Shoot through the filter
14 looks that render live in the viewfinder, not applied afterward. What you frame is what you capture, straight to a photo or a video file.
Four free filters, approximated in your browser

// LIVE.PREVIEW
The viewfinder is the filter
Most camera apps show you a clean frame and process it after the shutter. LensBug renders every effect onto the live feed, so you compose inside the look instead of guessing at it. Tap a filter and the world changes before you shoot.
Pinch to zoom, tap to focus, flip to the front camera. Everything still works with the effect running.

// FREQ · AUDIO-REACTIVE
It moves to the music
Play something loud. LensBug listens through the microphone, picks the beat out of the low end, and drives the image with it: colour swelling on the kick, contrast crushing, RGB channels splitting apart.
Five reactor modes: SAT, HUE, CRUSH, SPLIT and PARAM. The reaction is burned into the photo and the video, not just the preview.
FREQ HUD mid-beat
// VIDEO.CAPTURE
The effect is in the file
Hold the capture button to roll. The filter is rendered into every frame as it records, with audio, straight to a finished video. No export queue, no re-render, nothing to wait for when you stop.

// 2X EXPOSURE
Two frames, one image
Shoot once, then line the second frame up against a live ghost of the first. Blend them with screen, add or multiply, and adjust the mix afterwards in the editor.

// FILTER.INDEX
Fourteen ways to corrupt a photo
Every filter carries its own slider: scanline density, glitch chaos, palette, block size. No two people's TERMINAL looks the same.
Unfiltered sensor output. No processing applied.
Free
Green phosphor terminal wash with crushed contrast.
Free · slider CNTRST
RGB channel tearing and chromatic aberration.
Free · slider SHIFT
Chunky 8-bit pixelation. Resolution as an aesthetic.
Free · slider SIZE
Hard black-and-white threshold. Pure signal, no grey.
Free · slider LEVEL
Infrared heat-map palette across the luminance range.
Free · slider PALETTE
Vintage CRT scanline distortion. The signal is dying.
Premium · slider SCANLN
Synthwave skull overlay for a vaporwave aesthetic edge.
Premium · slider MISREG
Neon colour bars that shift with the luminance of your scene.
Premium · slider HUE
Holographic iridescent colour shift over your subject.
Premium · slider SCAN
4-colour Game Boy dither. Every frame a pixel artifact.
Premium · slider COLOR
LED dot-matrix simulation. Each pixel becomes a glowing node.
Premium · slider BLOCK
False-colour infrared. Foliage burns red, sky goes deep cyan. CUTOFF walks it from a 720nm filter to a monochrome 950.
Premium · slider CUTOFF
A sensor too small to care, with no IR filter. Blown highlights, milky blacks, the world in magenta.
Premium · slider BLOOM
Circuit-bent signal corruption. Crank the CHAOS and let the hardware fail.
