Filmine — Live Photo Darkroom
One line: Filmine is a digital darkroom for Live Photos on iPhone — film looks, portrait light and paper frames, developed on the device and saved as a new Live Photo with motion and sound intact.

Boilerplate
Filmine is a digital darkroom for Live Photos. Choose a moment from Photos, shape its colour with one of eleven film looks, refine the portrait and add a paper frame. Unlike editors that flatten a Live Photo into a still, Filmine develops the still and every frame of the video with the same treatment, so the result still moves and sounds in Photos. Processing happens entirely on the iPhone: no account, no servers, no analytics. Film and portrait tools are free; eight of the ten paper frames unlock with a yearly plan or a one-time purchase. Filmine is made by an independent developer and is available on the App Store in English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
