HTBT
Read full descriptionHide full description
You had to be there. HTBT is a shared disposable camera for your people. Start a roll, set how many shots it holds and when it develops, then pass it around the room. Everyone shoots the same roll, and nobody sees a thing until it is done. HOW A ROLL WORKS 1. Start a roll. Pick a shot count and a reveal time, then invite your people with a code or a link. 2. Shoot blind. No preview, no retakes, no scrolling back. You point, you shoot, and you trust the moment. 3. Develop together. When the timer hits zero the whole roll develops at once, and the night lands in everyone's hands at the same time. WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT No previews means no posing for the screen. No retakes means the real moment, not the fifth attempt. One shared roll means the night told from everyone's angle, not just yours. And because nothing develops until the timer ends, the anticipation is half the fun. Perfect for parties, trips, weddings, birthdays, concerts, late nights, and any moment that deserves film. Some nights deserve film. Start a roll for the next one. Privacy Policy: https://htbt.app/privacy Terms of Service: https://htbt.app/terms
STB Camera

STB Camera is the free on-set companion to STB (Storyboard to Shoot). Take the director's board to the location and shoot a framing for every cut. โ Frame by equivalent focal length Pick full-frame or S35, dial 10-600mm, and the viewfinder shows exactly that lens. Every iPhone adapts to its own lens set, and the physical switch-over points are marked right on the dial. โ What you see is what you get Orientation is locked to the board's aspect, so a deliberate dutch angle is never auto-levelled. Tap to focus and meter, lock white balance, and apply B&W or high-contrast looks live in the viewfinder. โ Compare on the spot A/B side by side, or blend the board over the photo. โ Bring it back to STB Export the package and every photo matches its cut automatically. Scout shots can also go to Photos in three info styles, stamped with focal length, colour temperature and time. โ No board? No problem Build one on set and it becomes a new film back in STB. Interface in Traditional Chinese, English and Japanese, switchable inside the app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HTBT at every 2 days against STB Camera's fortnightly. STB Camera's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
