Hi Product Hunt! This is Lucy (https://lihbr.com) and Alvaro (https://nuevo.tokyo) from the team at VWFNDR™ (https://www.vwfndr.camera), a project we started in 2023 with the goal of reconnecting photography with intention, authorship, and genuine capture. A camera that you always carry with you should function like a camera. Not as a computational filter, not as an AI image generator, but as a tool for intentional photography. It takes time to build that camera into hardware. MBL is the first step: a software foundation that embeds the same photographic principles VWFNDR™ plans to bring to hardware, now made available to everyone. Every photo taken with an MBL provides proof that it was taken by a real camera, not a manufactured or fabricated one. That evidence travels inside the file itself: a tamper-evident record, built on the open content credentialing standard from C2PA, that verifies where an image came from, how it was created, and whether it has been altered. Although it was challenging to get there, we are proud to be the fourth company in the world to achieve C2PA Level 2 conformance, and the second company after Google to support it for DNG. More importantly, we’re happy to offer it to everyone for free, no ads, no tracking, no accounts. More is coming. What will we share next in Q4. In the meantime, we’d love to hear how you shoot with it.
