Share everyone’s photos with the whole group, in 5 minutes flat. When you’re all in one room - hotel, kitchen table, wedding venue, kid’s birthday - open Roll. Each person picks the photos they want to share. Tap Share. Everyone’s photos merge into one roll and save to every camera roll, full quality, no cloud. No accounts. No upload. No compression. The photos go straight from phone to phone. For the planner of trips. The friend who runs the group chat, books the place, and takes most of the photos. Roll fixes the “wait, can you send me that one of the sunset” moment for the whole group at once. Why Roll * Originals, not re-compressed copies. Full quality. * No ads, ever. No cloud. No accounts. No uploads. * One tap saves everyone’s photos to your camera roll. * Duplicates merge, so the group selfie does not multiply. * The photos you contributed are not re-saved. They are already in your library. * Nothing to set up. Open the app and the room is there. * Works with no internet and no Wi-Fi network. Phones connect directly to each other. What you need * An iPhone on iOS 16.4 or later. * A small group in the same room. * Bluetooth on, and the local network permission granted when iOS asks. What Roll is not * Not a cloud album. * Not a chat app. * Not for sharing with people who are not in the room. Every past roll stays available, with no 48-hour clock. Save past rolls to your camera roll whenever you need them. The transfer experience is identical for everyone. Premium unlocks additional capacity and access to more past rolls.

Levende brings your kids' drawings to life. Scan the drawing from the fridge, and Levende cuts out the figure, gives it a skeleton and makes it wave, walk, jump and dance. Put several figures together on a stage, or stand them on the kitchen table in AR, and record a video you can keep and send to Grandma. Draw a car, a bus or a train, and it drives round the stage on turning wheels. Everything happens on your iPhone or iPad. Drawings, photos and videos are never uploaded: no account, no cloud, no tracking and no ads. Your kids' drawings stay theirs. HOW IT WORKS • Scan a drawing with the camera, take a photo or pick a picture • The figure is cut out automatically – touch it up with the brush if an arm is missing • Levende finds the head, arms and legs and gives the figure a skeleton you can adjust by dragging the dots • Pick from 20 moves: wave, walk, run, jump, dance, dab, jump rope, boxing, float, zombie and more • Cars, buses and trains: Levende finds the wheels, and they drive round the stage, honk and do wheelies • Print a figure as a paper puppet: cut it out, join it with split pins and pull the string • Tap the floor and the figure walks there • Music and sound effects – turn each on or off • Tap the figures you want to dance and give each its own move • 13 sample drawings to try, and a short guide to drawing a figure that can dance • Put several figures on the stage and pick a background: paper, garden, night or studio • AR: stand the figures on your table or floor and pinch to make them bigger • Record a video and save it to Photos or share it • On iPad the stage gets the whole big screen, with every move right beside it PAY ONCE. THAT'S IT. Levende costs a small one-time price: every feature and every future update, with no ads and no subscription. The extra app icons and a silly little game are included for everyone. Levende works in English, Danish, Japanese, German, French, Spanish and Korean.
