One roll a day. When it runs out — or when midnight comes — it becomes a single film on its own. Tappie is a video diary you never edit. Your clips join as you shoot, and at the end of the day they finish as one video with a title card on the front. No timeline, no trimming, no export settings. ■ Two cameras Camcorder — on-screen readouts and the texture of tape. Choose how long your tape runs. Two tapes: VHS and Hi8. 8mm film — one roll, one fixed length. It follows the exposure logic of a real 8mm camera, where the shutter angle stays put and sensitivity does the work. ■ Film stocks LUMAR 100D — crisp daylight (included) NOKTAR 800T — tungsten and halation (Plus) GRAPHIT 100M — black and white, fine grain (Plus) AESTAR TYP 01 — faded green midsummer (sold separately) AUTAR TYP 01 — nineties autumn amber (sold separately) Every stock previews live on screen before you load it. It should look different before you buy it. ■ When the day ends At midnight the roll winds itself. You don't have to leave the app open. A finished roll goes into its case and into the drawer — that's where you name it, and where it moves to the Tappie album in Photos. ■ Limits make memories One roll a day. No reshoots, no cutting anything out. So you think a little longer before you press record. ■ Tappie Plus The first second and the last, made yours — the cover's type, ink and stock, the signature engraved below, the 3·2·1 countdown before it, the end card after it. The date and place engraved in the corner become your own words too. Two films come with it (NOKTAR 800T · GRAPHIT 100M). Hi8 tape comes with it too — a second tape with crisper edges and calmer colors than VHS. Creator Mode — one roll a day still holds. But finish the roll you're on, and you can load a new one right there. Buy once and it's yours to keep. ■ What's not here Editing timeline · filter sliders · sign-ups · ads · cloud uploads
