## What is FLIM?

FLIM is a disposable camera for your closest friends.

Point, shoot, and let it develop, just like the real thing. Personal shots appear in your Darkroom right away. Shots into a shared roll stay private until the whole roll reveals together at a fixed time: 12 hours after the roll was created. Every reveal feels like a little surprise waiting to happen. Grab an invite from a friend and start shooting.

Real film feel. Every photo gets FLIM's signature film look baked right in at capture: warm color, fine grain, and the soft red glow real film gives a bright window or a streetlight. No filters, no choices, no second-guessing. Just one beautiful look that works for every moment.

Rolls for your people. Start a shared roll with up to 50 friends and shoot together. Everyone's photos land in the same place, and the entire roll develops at once. Trips, parties, nights out, all revealed together. Watch a roll fill up as its reveal gets closer, then play it back one photo at a time. Join rolls with invite codes, comment on each other's shots, and react with emojis.

A feed that's yours. Follow friends, see their posts, react, and comment. Mention someone with @ to bring them into the conversation. It's invite-only and private by design. The people you see are the people you chose to invite. No public likes. No algorithm. No strangers. Just a calmer way to stay close to the people who matter.

### 5/5 — I’m obsessed!!

*2026-08-19*

I’m having so much fun documenting everyday moments and memories! I love the disposable camera aesthetic, creating rolls with friends, and being able to share the photos I capture straight to my feed. 

So proud to see this app come to life! It’s genuinely such a joy to use and has such a nostalgic feel to it 🤍

### 5/5 — Great useful app

*2026-08-12*

My favorite thing is that all my friends add to the same roll, so we get one shared album at the end. Makes a lot more sense than everyone having their own version of the same night

### 5/5 — Awesome app!!!

*2026-08-07*

Just what I was looking for for my friends 30th!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.2 — 2026-08-20

Badges. FLIM now keeps a record of how you shoot: your first light, the rolls you filled, the reveals you opened first, the people you brought in. Stamps come in founding, gold, silver, bronze and accent, struck like medals, and they only ever show what actually happened. Tap one on any profile and the page itself tells you what it means, and how to earn it if you have not. You pick which four lead on your page, or let your rarest four speak for themselves. New ones develop in when you come look. They never interrupt you.

Widgets. A Darkroom widget counts the prints waiting on you and shows the roll developing right now. Look Back resurfaces a frame from a year, a month, or a week ago. A shutter on your Lock Screen opens the camera in one tap and quietly shows when a roll is ready. The developing countdown on your Lock Screen got restruck to match.

Reactions got smarter. The quick row under a photo now offers six emoji, and up to three are guessed on your phone from what is actually in the photograph. Searching the full picker works the way you type: "laugh", "lol" and "bday" all find what you meant. 

And the usual sweep underneath: the feed loads lighter, the sort deck opens faster, and a deleted roll no longer counts down anywhere.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-14

If you never saw the prompt asking about notifications, FLIM now asks again. Some people were never asked at all, which meant they quietly got nothing, and the only way out was deleting the app and reinstalling it. Your Profile also shows whether notifications are actually on, with a way to turn them on, instead of a switch that looked on either way.

The keyboard goes away when you tap off it, or swipe the feed down. Before this there was no way to put it away at all once you started a comment.

Replying says who you are replying to, right above where you type, with a way to call it off. Cancelling drops the reply and keeps what you had written.

Tap a comment to open the thread.

Deleting a photo you had posted now clears the post from your feed straight away instead of leaving a card behind for the next refresh.

Tidier comments on each card, and a few small things sitting where they should.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-13

Tapping a notification now opens the thing it is about. The post, the comment, the profile, the roll that just developed. It used to put you on the camera every time, whatever it said.

Reply to a comment right under it, instead of starting a new one at the bottom. And you will know when someone likes what you wrote.

The reaction bar suggests an emoji or two based on what is actually in the photo, next to the usual heart and fire. Behind the plus, the picker now holds every emoji your phone can draw instead of a fixed handful.

Add a caption or tag people while you are sorting, instead of posting first and going back for it afterwards. Tagging now leads with the people you are most likely to pick, so it is usually one tap.

Edit a caption anywhere your photo lives, not just from the feed.

Sorting deals your oldest shot first, so a session plays back in the order you took it.

Profiles say "Follows you" when someone already does, and the button says "Follow back" rather than pretending you found them first.

A reaction to a photo you are tagged in now reaches you, and shows up in Activity, the same as a reaction to one you took.

Your Darkroom marks the shots you have already shared, so you can tell developed from developed and posted without opening each one.

Underneath: pull to refresh no longer interrupts itself, cover photos are no longer washed out, rolls you can no longer shoot into stop cluttering the camera, the small controls are easier to hit, and an edit or a delete that quietly failed now says so instead of looking like it worked.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-08

FLIM now runs on a lot more iPhones. If it would not install on someone's phone before, it probably will now.

Sharing a photo from the full screen view actually shares it. That button has never worked until now.

Tapping someone's name opens their profile the same way from everywhere in the app, with a way back out. Before, opening a profile from inside a roll could leave you on a screen with no exit.

Double tap a photo to like it, the same gesture wherever there is something to react to.

A shot that misses its roll because the roll finished developing now lands in your deck instead of getting stuck. Activity reads as sentences rather than breaking into a second column.

Underneath: photos no longer go missing if the app closes while one is uploading, and a long list of fixes to how photos load, save, and hold their place.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-04

A better reveal, a warmer film look, and a profile picture you can frame yourself.

Rolls now show how close they are to developing, and whichever develops soonest sits at the top. On the camera, a roll about to close tells you how long you have left to shoot into it.

The reveal plays slower, so each photo has room to land, with a bar that fills as it goes. Press and hold to stop on one you like. The first photo appears straight away instead of making you wait for it.

A warmer film look. Bright windows and streetlights now bleed a soft red glow the way real film does, and grain sits where film puts it: through the midtones, not across a clear sky.

Choose exactly which part of a photo becomes your profile picture. Sorting your shots now shows the whole frame, so nothing hides past the edges.

Joining is easier. Enter an invite code right on the first screen instead of being turned away and asked for one afterwards, and a friend's invite link now fills the code in for you.

Tag people any time, not just as you post, and remove yourself from any photo you are tagged in. Mention friends in comments with @. Other people's reactions now appear while you are still looking. One notification a day rounds up what your friends posted, instead of one for every photo, and your notifications are grouped by when they happened.

Text now follows your device's text size setting. Plus a fix for a crash in the lock screen countdown, and a long list of smaller fixes to how photos load, open, and hold their place.
