## What is the roll?

Some nights deserve more than a camera roll full of posed selfies and carefully curated stories.

The Roll is a shared disposable camera for you and your crew. Everyone shoots blind. Nobody sees anything - not even their own photos - until the timer hits zero. Then it all comes out at once.

>> How it works
Start a roll, name it, and invite your crew. Everyone shoots into a shared pool of photos - no previews, no filters, no second chances. When the time comes, the roll locks. Then, at exactly the right moment, every photo from every person is revealed simultaneously. The good, the bad, the completely unhinged.

That's the whole thing. And it's better than you'd expect.

>> Why it feels different
Most photo apps are about curation. The Roll is about capture. There's no pressure to look good, no checking what you shot, no deleting the blurry ones. You just point and shoot - and trust that the moment is worth keeping.

The simultaneous reveal is where the magic happens. Opening a roll with your friends and seeing what everyone caught - angles you missed, moments you forgot, faces mid-laugh - feels like developing film from a disposable camera. Except everyone's camera, all at once.

>> Built for real nights
Whether it's a house party, a weekend trip, a birthday, or just a random Tuesday that turned into something - The Roll captures it the way it actually felt. Not the version you'd post. The real one.

- Shared photo pool: everyone's shots, one roll
- Blind shooting: no previews, no filters, no do-overs
- Simultaneous reveal: everyone sees everything at the same time
- Disposable camera aesthetic: warm, grainy, honest
- Reactions: relive the night together, shot by shot
- Party & Event rolls: bigger crews, more shots, custom reveal times
- Add shots mid-roll: when 30 just isn't enough

The Roll. Your night, unfiltered.
