DispoCam turns your iPhone into a shared disposable camera. No preview, no retakes — just the magic of not knowing what you captured until the roll is full. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a virtual disposable camera — pick a name, choose how many shots (12, 18, 24, or 32), and select a vintage film look. 2. Invite friends to shoot on the same roll. Everyone contributes blindly. 3. Once every frame is taken, the roll "develops" and all photos unlock for everyone at the same time. 4. Browse your prints in a beautifully tilted gallery, saved with the name of whoever took each shot. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT - The real disposable camera experience. No live preview while shooting — just a shutter button and an exposure counter. Exactly like loading a real roll of film. - Shared anticipation. Shoot together, wait together, reveal together. Each roll becomes a shared memory before anyone even sees the photos. - 11 hand-tuned vintage film looks. From classic Sepia and high-contrast Noir to warm Kodachrome, dreamy Polaroid, punchy Disposable Flash, nostalgic '70s Faded, glitchy VHS, and surreal Infrared Dream. Four looks are free; seven more are available with DispoCam Pro. - Retro date stamps. Optionally burn an orange date into the corner of every frame, just like a '90s point-and-shoot. - Haptic feedback. Hear the shutter click and feel the film advance with every shot. - Notifications. Get a push the moment a shared roll fills up and the photos are ready. - No account needed. DispoCam works out of the box with iCloud. Or use the web sync option — your choice. - Keep what you love. Save developed photos to your library with one tap. DISPOSABLE, BUT SHARED A real disposable camera belongs to one person. DispoCam turns it into something social. Pass it around the party, share it with long-distance friends, or create a roll for an event and let everyone capture their perspective. You won't see the results until the very last frame has been taken — and the wait makes it so much better. DISPOSCAM PRO Unlock seven premium film looks — Polaroid, Lomo, Expired Roll, Disposable Flash, '70s Faded, VHS, and Infrared Dream — with a one-time purchase, a monthly subscription, or a yearly subscription. Cancel anytime. Built with love for the film photography aesthetic. No algorithms, no feeds, no likes. Just photos you actually look forward to seeing.

One party. One camera roll. Your whole crew. Afters is the disposable camera, reinvented for the group chat. Start a roll for your party, share one link or QR code, and everyone shoots into the same roll all night long. No camera apps to compare, no group album to chase down the next day - just one shared roll the whole crew fills together. Here's the twist: nobody sees the shots while the party's on. The roll stays sealed until it "develops" — then the entire night appears at once, for everyone, all at the same time. It's the disposable-camera magic: you shoot blind, you trust the moment, and the morning after you get the whole night back in one go. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a roll. Name your party, set how many shots each person gets, choose when it develops. 2. Share the link or QR. Everyone joins in a tap — no account hunting, no friend requests. 3. Shoot together. Each guest snaps their shots straight into the shared roll, all night. 4. It develops. At the time you set (or the moment you choose), the roll opens and the full album lands for everyone. 5. Keep it forever. The developed roll is one shared album the whole crew keeps — save your favourites to your phone. WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT • No more "send me the photos" — every shot from every guest is already in one place. • No phones-out-all-night energy. A few shots each keeps everyone present. • The reveal is an event. Watching the whole night develop at once, together, hits different. • Hosts stay in control — set the shot limit, the develop time, and moderate the roll. • Anyone can host, anyone can join. Birthdays, weddings, festivals, house parties, trips, reunions. Afters doesn't run ads, sell your data, or track you across other apps. Your party's photos are private to the people you invited. Put the phone down. Shoot the night. Relive it together. Start a roll — it's free.
