About

Flash

Flash is the digital disposable camera for events. Your guests scan one QR code, shoot a limited roll of photos, video clips and voice notes — and nobody sees a single frame until you reveal the album. No app for them to download. No feed. No spoilers. Just the whole night, through everyone's eyes. ONE QR CODE, EVERY GUEST Create your event in seconds and share a single QR code. Guests are shooting within ten seconds — no account, no download, nothing to explain. A LIMITED ROLL, LIKE THE REAL THING Give every guest a fixed number of shots. Scarcity makes people look before they shoot, so you end up with fewer photos and far better ones. HIDDEN UNTIL THE REVEAL Every photo, video and voice note stays locked until you develop the album. Nobody scrolls the party on their phone. Nobody spoils the surprise. The reveal becomes a moment of its own. PHOTOS, VIDEO AND VOICE Capture more than stills. Short video clips and voice notes catch the speech, the laugh and the song everyone screamed at 1 a.m. FILM LOOKS BUILT IN Retro, flash-lit filters that make a modern phone camera feel like a single-use camera from the corner shop. MAKE IT YOURS Name the event, design the cover, choose the roll size and decide exactly when the album develops. MADE FOR • Weddings, receptions and rehearsal dinners • Birthdays and milestone parties • Bachelor and bachelorette trips • Festivals, club nights and after-parties • Holidays and road trips with friends • Corporate events, conferences and team days • Baby showers, graduations and christenings FROM IDEA TO ALBUM IN THREE STEPS 1. Create the event and set the roll size 2. Share one QR code with your guests 3. Reveal the album and download every shot in full quality WHY GUESTS LOVE IT They keep their own phone and their own camera roll stays private. They only share what they shot inside Flash. No sign-up, no endless group chat the morning after. WHY HOSTS LOVE IT You stop being the only person with a camera. You wake up to hundreds of photos you could never have taken yourself — from the dance floor, from the kids' table, from the taxi home. PRICING Small events are free. Larger events and extra capacity are available as upgrades inside the app. Flash is built in the EU by m4ntech.
