Amber is a shared disposable camera for private events. Create a film roll, invite guests with a QR code or link, and shoot together on one film look. Photos stay hidden until they develop — then everyone sees the gallery at once. WHEN EVERYTHING IS EASY TO SAVE, THE MOMENT GETS BURIED. Amber brings back the feeling of a real disposable camera: a limited number of shots, one shared film, and a reveal you wait for. Irreplaceable moments stay on one roll — memories over recordings. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create your film Name the event, set when shooting ends, choose when photos develop, and pick a film look — retro color, monochrome, or swirly bokeh. Use a classic 35mm frame, or half-frame for twice the shots. 2. Invite guests Place a QR code on the table or share a link. Guests can join and start shooting in seconds, without creating an account. 3. Reveal together Until develop time, the gallery stays locked. When it opens, everyone sees every photo — no watermarks. Sign in with Apple to save them to the Photos app. MADE FOR GATHERINGS Weddings, birthdays, trips, parties, and any night you want one shared film instead of a hundred camera rolls. WHAT YOU GET • Private events — only people with the invite can join • The same film look for every guest • Limited shots per person, so every frame counts • Date stamps, like a real film camera • Hosts create events with Sign in with Apple • Small events are free to create; larger guest lists are available as in-app purchases • Guests never pay to join or shoot Amber is not a photo backup service. After the reveal, save the photos you love to your Photos app. Shoot together on film. Moments that stay beautiful, like amber.
