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.

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.
