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.

The photographer captures the ceremony. Your guests catch everything else: the laughter at the drinks reception, the quiet tears, the dance floor at two in the morning. Flash turns every guest into a disposable camera, and everyone discovers the album together. FOR YOUR WEDDING Create your film, put the QR code on the tables, and guests join with one scan, no account needed. Each guest gets a few shots, just like a disposable camera: no retakes, no editing, only real moments. At the end you get dozens of points of view you would never have had. AND FOR EVERYTHING ELSE Birthdays, parties, hen and stag dos, trips, weekends with friends, company events: it works wherever people get together and nobody wants to spend the night behind their phone. THE REVEAL Photos stay hidden until the moment you choose: live, when the film ends, or after a suspenseful delay. Then the album opens for everyone at the same time. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create your film: type of event, number of guests, shots per person, reveal time. 2. Share the QR code, guests join with one scan. 3. Everyone shoots their few photos during the event. 4. At the reveal, the album opens for all. WHAT YOU GET • One shared album, downloadable in a tap • Filters: original, vintage, black and white • A film-style shot counter • Time left on your lock screen • Private photos: the film belongs to you and your guests only Free for up to 5 guests. Beyond that, you pay once per event, based on the number of guests. No subscription.
