Rolls is a quiet camera app that helps you take fewer photos, more intentionally. Choose your roll length. Take your shots and wait to develop. Once you start, every photo counts. No endless retakes. No scrolling through twenty versions of the same moment. No feed. Your photos stay hidden until the roll is complete. Then they develop into a private album you can name, keep, and export when you’re ready. Rolls is built for walks, weekends, trips, dates, ordinary days, and the small moments that are easy to over-capture and forget. Take less. Keep more. Features: β€’ Choose from 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 or 64 shot limits β€’ Shoot without instant previews β€’ Finish or end a roll early to develop it β€’ Choose a cover photo for each album β€’ Name and tag your rolls β€’ View completed rolls in a private timeline β€’ Export individual photos, selected photos, or full albums β€’ No accounts, no likes, no social feed Rolls is a camera with limits, designed to make your photos feel considered again. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
