Checkout our YouTube video for a full walk-through of what’s new:
Tunnel Effect (New)
Turn any input into a traversable, 3D-like tunnel with rich controls for size, speed, and more.
Channels Effect (New)
Separate the Red/Green/Blue channels of the image. Individually mix them, offset them, and adjust the angle of the offset. This effect is deceptively simple, but yields surprisingly complex results.
Great news! You spoke, we listened. Chromatose now has simpler, more affordable pricing for everyone.
Starting with Chromatose version 1.1.0:
You’ll see an option to switch to the Pro plan and unlock all Pro features at no additional cost.
Since the launch of Chromatose we’ve been asked why we only offer subscription-based pricing. This is something I’ve put a lot of thought into and I’d like to explain the broader reasoning behind the decision.
I’m a solo indie developer building a niche product, not a large-scale company cross-subsidizing free/cheap apps. For Chromatose to survive, it must be sustainable. Complex apps like this aren’t “build once.” Chromatose is mobile-first, and iOS changes fast. Each iOS release requires maintenance, infrastructure work, and new development. My goal is to ship frequent updates forever with new generators, effects, features, integrations, bug fixes, and performance improvements. It’s true software-as-a-service that’s always evolving, but this comes with real ongoing costs.
