DispoCam turns your iPhone into a shared disposable camera. No preview, no retakes โ€” just the magic of not knowing what you captured until the roll is full. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a virtual disposable camera โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” and the wait makes it so much better. DISPOSCAM PRO Unlock seven premium film looks โ€” Polaroid, Lomo, Expired Roll, Disposable Flash, '70s Faded, VHS, and Infrared Dream โ€” 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.

About

Glimt

Read full description

Glimt is the disposable camera for real-life events: weddings, birthdays, reunions and every party in between. Every guest shoots, nobody needs the app, and the photos stay in the darkroom until you develop the roll. HOST AN EVENT Create an event and hang the QR poster. Guests scan it and get a film roll right in their phone's browser (25 shots each by default) - no app, no account. Photos come out with a warm retro look and a burned-in date stamp, and there's no deleting: film has no retakes. THE DARKROOM Watch the shots arrive while the party is on. When the night is over, develop the roll: the whole contact sheet opens for every guest at once, and everyone can save the photos. RSVP, IF YOU WANT IT Turn on optional RSVPs for the QR link or app invitations. See who's going, maybe or can't make it in one private list. Guests can change their reply and choose one reminder when the event starts. Web guests can opt into a single email with the event link. Social alerts are off by default. A FEED OF REAL PRINTS Every photo on Glimt comes from a real event roll. Post your favorite shots, tag the friends who were there, and keep the retro look - or show the original. Chronological, no algorithm. GLIMT PRO - INCLUDED AT LAUNCH Pro hosts get more events, bigger guest lists (up to 200) and their own crest inside the QR code. This version has no in-app purchases and nothing to buy: every account created during launch gets Glimt Pro free until April 2027, automatically. Sign in with Apple or Google.
