🥳 New year, new update!. The new version of now introduces 196 dynamically generated icons for each style combination, and you can now save up to 10 custom presets.

Introducing a new film stock gallery, go and create your own looks!.

Drag, pinch, zoom, pan, scroll. What if your file manager worked like this?. Super fun prototyping this in SwiftUI.

Submit feedback and bug reports to the new live tracker!.

✨ New app, new website, new features. Photo editing is now out, try it out at

August 4, beta 0.10. This one is good.

Oh boy this is gonna cook!

Appearances can be deceiving, and SwiftUI really fell short after this PoC. The worst thing was performance, LazyGrids simply cannot handle large item sets (talking 10,000+), plus all the abstractions made it impossible to do anything besides some simple ForEach’s. Has to use.

What people don’t understand is these are perfect scenarios. The real world doesn’t always have clean overlays, perfect backgrounds. Change the background elements to a messy photo library, cluttered webpage, then you see the pitfalls. We had these levels of liquid glass two.

Revisited this, and brought stable anchoring and zoom logics, all in SwiftUI. Will be part of the upcoming Potte update for gallery views and photo edits!

The next Potte update will take a while. The existing camera codebase is filled with debt, and is getting really hard to maintain. Spent the past week experimenting with new architectures that are much better, as the current implementation leaves so much performance and.

I might start compiling Potte with Xcode 26. The improvements to ScrollView performance, along with other backwards compatible SwiftUI improvements are just too good to pass up on. But this means Potte will stay in TestFlight until mid-September.

Had to rewrite a whole bunch of stuff for this one, apologies in advance if there are more bugs than usual.

New version is out on . Below is a showcase of 48MP (44MP post processed), rapid capture on an iPhone 16e. This level of performance consistency is unheard of in previous beta versions. But before I get ahead of myself, this is just limited testing.

??? Am I trippin??? I am getting <2 seconds for 48MP photos now. This is huge, need to do more testing.

Working on an update that drastically improves capture performance: . ~3 secs from capture to saving for 48MP photos.<1 sec for 12MP photos. (along with a lot more stable memory usage). And about that crashing issue upon closing the app, honestly have no idea, maybe this next.

Build 0.9 (2) is out with numerous bug fixes. I am not able to reproduce the app closure crash, but I do see crashes being counted in TestFlight. not sure if it still exists.

A new hot fix for Potte is being tested. Fixes the flip selfie display, and photo capture performance and stability improvements.

Have multiple reports of app issues. A hot fix for those will be out shortly. The current version of Potte is also mostly feature complete. The next iterations will focus heavily on optimizations and performance improvements.

For some reason user feedbacks were not shown in AppStore Connect on desktop for me. Just saw all of this via the iOS version. Thanks for the feedback! And apologies for missing them until now. 😭.

Potte 0.9 (1) just got approved! This update includes all new film emulations, UI improvements, and more. Try it out at
