BadCam is a simple camera app inspired by old film cameras. You load a roll, take some photos, send the roll to the lab, and wait for the pictures. There are no previews and no retakes. The idea is to slow things down a little and make each photo feel worth a bit more. Features: ⢠Two film rolls: color and black & white ⢠Up to 24 shots per roll (you can eject a roll early and not use all exposures) ⢠Film inspired photo processing ⢠Optional date stamp ⢠Lab developing timer ⢠Albums for developed rolls ⢠Save photos to your Photos library ⢠No accounts or cloud storage Just photos worth waiting for.
Flashbulb
Read full descriptionHide full description
Flashbulb is a shared camera for trips with friends. Start a roll together. Take photos when prompted. Nobody sees a single one until it develops when you get home. No previews. No retakes. No endless camera roll. Just the moment. Create a shared roll with friends or a personal roll for yourself. Capture moments across a vacation, a month, a season, or everyday life, then wait for the photos to develop later. Load a roll, take photos when prompted, and let anticipation do the rest. Every frame stays sealed until it develops into a memory reel you can revisit later. Whether you're traveling with friends, taking a road trip, spending a summer abroad, or simply paying more attention to the everyday, Flashbulb helps you capture what it actually felt like to be there. During a roll, Flashbulb sends occasional prompts at unexpected moments. Whatever is happening becomes part of the story: airport floors, late-night trains, rainy windows, half-eaten dinners, quiet mornings, familiar streets, the strange in-between moments you would have forgotten otherwise. When the roll develops, your photos are revealed together as a chronological memory reel. FEATURES ⢠Shared rolls Create collaborative disposable-camera rolls with friends. ⢠Personal rolls Capture a week, month, season, or chapter of your life. ⢠Sealed photos Frames stay hidden until they develop later. ⢠Random prompts Receive occasional prompts to capture real moments as they happen. ⢠One-shot photography No retakes. No reviewing. Just the moment. ⢠Film-inspired aesthetic Inspired by disposable cameras and analog photography. ⢠Memory reels Relive your roll as a chronological story. ⢠Private by default Only you or invited participants can view a developed roll.
