One shared disposable camera for everyone who's there. Shoot all night, see nothing, then the whole roll develops for the group at once, hours later or the next morning. Your first roll is free. Latent is for anything you do together: birthdays, weddings, bar nights, ski trips, picnics, concerts, a weekly dinner with friends, or your regular café. Friends join with a QR code or a link, no app download needed, and everyone's shots land in one roll. ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE Latent uses location to show rolls happening around you. Walk into the party or the venue and the roll is already waiting in Nearby, no code needed. Walk away and it's gone. A roll only shows up for people who are actually there, so strangers on the internet can't find it. JOIN IN SECONDS, NO APP NEEDED Scan the QR code, or tap an invite link from a friend The camera opens instantly as an App Clip, with no download and no account Already have Latent? Nearby shows you every roll around you ONE ROLL FOR ANY KIND OF MOMENT One-time: a party, a dinner, a weekend away. It reveals when it ends Travel: one roll for the whole trip, from a day to two weeks, anywhere in the world. Share the link with your group and it reveals when the trip is over Daily or weekly: set it up once for your bar, café, club or Friday dinner. Same QR code every time, a fresh roll each time, no extra setup HOW IT WORKS Everyone shoots photos and short videos Nobody can see anything while the roll is live, not even you When it develops, the gallery opens for everyone at the same time React, comment and pick favorites together Then it fades away. If you got it, you got it YOUR ROLL HAS DEVELOPED The moment your roll develops, Latent lets you know, even if the app is closed. THE BEST SHOTS RISE Every gallery is reviewed the moment it's revealed. Blurry, dark or empty shots are filtered out, so what everyone sees is the good stuff. MAKE SOMETHING FROM IT Turn your favorite shots into a collage, or mix photos and videos into one vertical reel, ready to post. KEEP WHAT MATTERS Shared galleries are temporary. Buy the photos you love or unlock the whole roll, and they're saved forever to your Negatives, your personal archive of every roll you've been part of. FOR HOSTS, VENUES AND ORGANIZERS Set a shot limit per guest, how close people need to be to find your roll nearby, and exactly when the reveal happens, hours later or the next morning. SAFE BY DESIGN Report any photo or video, or block someone, in two taps. Reported content is hidden right away. Remember the disposable cameras passed around at every party? Latent brings them back for the group-chat era, and makes waiting for the photos part of the fun again. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
WeWere

WeWere is a shared disposable camera for your events. Create an event, put the QR code on the tables, and every guest becomes a photographer: no account, no app required for guests (the QR opens right in their browser). Everyone's photos land in one shared album, live. HOW IT WORKS • Host an event in 30 seconds, pick the occasion, print the table card. • Guests scan the QR. They join with just their name and start shooting. • Photos appear in the shared album in real time, with a film look applied live in the camera. • Or go disposable-style: photos stay hidden and "develop" all together at the reveal time you set. MADE FOR THE MOMENT • Film looks applied live. Each guest picks their own. • Flash, tap-to-focus, pinch-to-zoom, review before it uploads. • No photo lost to bad venue WiFi: shots queue on the phone and upload when the network returns. • Shot limits like a real film roll: per guest, or one shared roll for the whole party. • Likes, push notifications, and a nudge to get the dance floor shooting again. AFTER THE PARTY • A recap video with music, generated in the app. • Save everything to your Photos in one tap. • The album stays for everyone who was there. PRICING Free for events up to 10 guests. Every feature included, no watermark. One-time purchases (no subscription) unlock bigger events: 15, 25, 100 or 250 guests. The projectable live wall is included from the 25-guest size. Photos are private to the event's members. WeWere is made in Europe.
