Mono Lab

I love this app… I usually don’t purchase stuff on the App Store but after seeing this on an instagram ad I decided to give it a try.. I am very happy with that decision. There are so many different tools to use and experiment with, I always find a new effect to pass the time fudging the numbers with. Thank you for this app. Side Note: I wish there was a way to use these effects with COLOR! Are there any plans to incorporate that within this app or create a separate app? Thanks

Mono Lab is honestly perfect for making zines. It’s super easy to mess around with, and you can get really weird, raw results fast without overthinking it. The filters don’t feel basic, they actually change the vibe of an image in a real way. I’ve been using it to build pages and textures, and everything just comes out feeling more intentional. It’s one of those apps you open and lose time in.

Very impressive library of effects: you’ve got all the staples for image definition and basic processing, including dithering patterns and grunge. But also, a seemingly endless library of unexpected and unique ways to glitch, distort, and even create algorithmic vectorization. Even lets you save vector effects as PDF for further manipulation on the desktop. For the price, it’s a great value.
