Be part of the moment. Capture it live. Spime is a shared camera for everyone present. When something is happening, people around you capture it β€” together, from multiple angles. No uploads. No recycled content. Just real moments, as they happen. It works differently. You don’t just follow people. You follow places. Each Spime is a live, location-based space where: - People nearby capture photos and videos - Everything is shared instantly - You see the moment from every perspective The more people around you use Spime, the more angles everyone gets. Only people there can post. That means: - No old content - No reposts - No fake moments Everything is captured in the app β€” as it happens, while the Spime is live. One moment. Many angles. Open a Spime and see: - Different perspectives - Real reactions - The full picture as it unfolds Start your own shared camera. Create a shared camera (a Spime) around your current location. - Set the radius - Make it public or private (access by QR code) - Optionally hide it, so only people physically there can enter - Or hide its location, so people can see something is happening β€” but not where Bring people together β€” instantly. Why use Spime - Join a shared camera active around you - Capture moments together β€” from multiple angles - No group chat needed - No invites either - Your presence is your ticket - No "send me pics" later - Everything is saved automatically β€” easy to find later - See what’s happening now, or what happened nearby in the past Stay connected - Comment on any photo or Spime - Chat privately with others - Share photos in conversations Spime turns real places into shared cameras. Open it. Be part of it. Capture it β€” as it happens.
