Stills is a disposable camera for your phone, and now it has friends. You can't see the photo. Sorry. That's the camera. Then you send one to a friend that vanishes after one look. Load a roll, shoot your frames, and get nothing back until it's full. No preview. No retakes. No quietly deleting the bad one before anyone sees it. Just you, a shutter, and the terrible confidence that you probably got it. Then the roll develops, and you find out. PRESENCE: FRIENDS, MADE IN PERSON Add a friend by scanning their code. No usernames to guess, no requests from strangers, no algorithm deciding you two should know each other. You have to actually meet. The moment you're friends, you each take a first photo. Two prints, one from each phone, kept on your friendship forever. FLICKS Flick a photo up and it's theirs. It develops on the spot, they see it once, and it's gone. Flicks are end-to-end encrypted, so not even we can see them. Cover one in emoji and stickers, write on it, react to one, take one more look, or save the ones you love to your chat or your Photos. Send each other a flick every day to keep a streak going. Chats are here too: swipe to reply, double-tap to love, press and hold to react, edit or unsend, and see when your message is read (you can turn that off). IT LOOKS LIKE FILM, BECAUSE WE MADE IT LOOK LIKE FILM Every frame runs through Stills 400: warm highlights, real grain, that glow around streetlights at 1am. Bright by day, and it holds up after dark: flash looks like flash, neon keeps its colour, and faces in dim rooms come through. It all happens on your phone in about a second. No uploading, no waiting on a server. YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR PHONE All of them. We can't see them, which is genuinely the point. Search runs on the device too. Ask for "that night we walked home in the rain" and it just finds it, without a single pixel going anywhere. Shoot a roll. Forget about it. Develop it later.
