Everyone gets the camera. The whole party shoots. The morning after, you all wake up to one shared roll — film-grain, candid, untouched. No edits. No previews. No curating. Just the night, exactly as it happened. A disposable camera for the iPhone era. Built by Hipstamatic, the team that started mobile film photography in 2009. → How it works 1. Create a camera. Name it, set the dates, pick a film look. 2. Invite your guests. They join in ten seconds — no download, no account. 3. Everyone shoots. Photos stay hidden until the camera closes. 4. The next morning, the whole roll is revealed to everyone at once. → What's in the roll The kiss you never saw. The stage dive from the back row. The 4am sunrise no one remembered. The flash-lit moment that somehow looks iconic. All of it, captured by everyone. All of it, yours to keep or let vanish when the night ends. → What's inside - Real film looks: 90s, rich color, vintage, black & white, instant - Zero-install guest join via App Clip - Custom camera names, themes, and durations - No profiles. No follows. No feed. - Photos tied to the event, not a permanent network → Made for Concerts · Weddings · Birthdays · Bachelorettes · Festivals · Prom · Formals · Warehouse raves · Secret shows · Bestie birthdays · Anywhere a phone is the only camera in the room. → Public Parties (Los Angeles) Find the show you're at. Join the camera other fans are shooting on. See the night from every angle in the venue. Pair it with the official Apple Music Set List to relive the show exactly as it happened — not just how you heard it, but how the entire room saw it. → Privacy by design No account required to join a camera. Photos live with the event, not a permanent profile. When the camera closes, you decide what to keep. The night starts when you open it.

Your friends' photos, hidden until the reveal. Latent is a shared disposable camera for any trip, dinner, party or night out — everyone shoots, nobody peeks, until it's time to develop. Remember the disposable cameras that used to circulate at every party? Latent brings that back for the group-chat era — except now the whole event shares one roll, and the anticipation of waiting for photos to "develop" is part of the fun again. HOW IT WORKS Create a roll for anything — a trip, a birthday, a dinner, a night out, a weekly hangout Guests nearby scan a QR code to join instantly via App Clip — no download required to shoot Or join automatically based on location if you have the app Shoot photos and short videos — everything stays hidden until reveal No one can see any photos while the roll is live — not even you Once the event ends, the gallery reveals for everyone at once Buy the individual shots you love, or unlock the whole gallery TRAVEL ROLLS Heading somewhere with friends? Start a travel roll — no location limit, share the QR with your group anywhere in the world. Shoot for a day or two weeks, and the roll reveals automatically when the trip ends. YOUR LATTE IS READY The moment your roll develops, Latent lets you know — even if the app is closed. Open it and every photo is waiting. BUILT FOR REAL EVENTS Latent uses your event's real location, so only people who were actually there can join and shoot. Set a shot limit per guest, a custom radius, and exactly when the reveal happens — hours later, or the next morning. AI HELPS THE BEST SHOTS RISE Every gallery is quietly reviewed the moment it's revealed — blurry, dark, or empty shots get filtered out automatically, so what everyone actually sees is the good stuff. RECURRING OR ONE-TIME Running the same weekly night at your bar or café? Set up a recurring roll once, and it resets itself automatically — new roll, new QR code, no extra setup, forever. Or spin up a one-time roll for a single event and let it run its course. YOUR MEMORIES, YOUR CALL Buy just the photos you're in, or the whole gallery if you want everything. Everything you purchase gets saved permanently to your Negatives — your personal archive of every event you've been part of, even after the shared gallery disappears. FOR VENUES AND ORGANIZERS Own a bar, run a weekly event, or hosting something special? Create a roll, share the QR code, and that's it — no ongoing management, no app to check. Latent runs the reveal, the countdown, and the gallery automatically. Download Latent and bring back the magic of waiting to see how the photos turned out.
