Hello all!

As someone into photography, I decided to checkout Zerocam when it recently released on Android. I, like some other people online, was disappointed with the app’s subscription and lack of ability to save as RAW. Therefore, I took it upon myself to make a freely available app with the same functionality as quickly as I could.

What does it do? Well, I sought out to offer the same functionality as Zerocam. Zerocam is a 1 page app that simply takes an unprocessed photo and saves it as a .jpg file. unprocess is able to do that, AND save as RAW! But that’s basically it. The one big feature it is missing is a subscription, and I am going to keep it that way.

Word of warning, I had never written any code for Android before Monday of this week (about 4 days ago). The app is based off of a Google example app showing off the Camera2 API, and it looks very much like it. However, I have changed a good bit under the hood in order to get it to do what it needs to.

For anyone reading this that has Android/Kotlin experience, I would welcome any help you’d like to contribute. I have added 4 issues to GitHub that are the most glaring issues to be resolved, and you could probably knock those out in less than an hour if you know what you’re doing.

Here is the GitHub repo, the .apk can be found under the “Releases” tab. I may try to get it in the Play store if there is enough interest. I’ll be in the comments for anyone who wants to ask or contribute anything!
