About

Afters

Read full description

Afters is a disposable camera for nights out. Flash always on. Focus fixed. No edits. Shoot tonight, see it tomorrow. THE RULES • Flash fires on every shot — hard light, dark rooms, real faces. • Focus is fixed: Portrait (1 m) or Group (2.5 m). Tap, and it's taken. No hunting, no waiting. • No editing. What you shoot is the photo. Pick a film look and a date stamp before, not after. SIX FILM LOOKS 2AM (direct flash, cool shadows, warm halation), Gold, Mint, Noir, Digicam '04 and Xpro — rendered live in the viewfinder and baked into the photo with grain, halation and bloom. THE ROLL 24 shots per roll. Rolls develop the next morning at 9:00 with a notification — or instantly, your choice. Open the roll and watch the contact sheet develop. MAKE THE DUMP Pick 4–9 shots and export a Story or Post collage with film-strip, contact-sheet or instant frames. Ready for Instagram in one tap. DETAILS THAT MATTER Orange date stamp with three formats. Screen flash for selfies. Timer for group shots. Lock Screen widget with your roll counter. iOS 18 Control to open the camera from Control Center or the Action button. FREE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ACCOUNT. Afters is free with light ads: a small banner on your rolls, an optional short video to develop a roll early, and at most one full-screen ad a day. Never on the camera. Your photos stay on your phone until you save them, and Afters never asks for your location. Languages: English, Türkçe, Español, Deutsch, Français, Português, 日本語, 한국어.
