Vignette turns any get-together into a shared disposable camera. Create an event, share one code, and everyone points, shoots, and waits. No feeds, no filters, no peeking — every photo stays hidden until the event ends. Then comes the big reveal: all of your guests' shots, together in one gallery. HOW IT WORKS • Host an event — give it a name and a start time • Share your 6-character code — guests join instantly, no account needed • Everyone gets a limited roll — a set number of shots each, just like a real disposable • Photos stay locked until the event wraps • The big reveal — the full gallery opens for everyone at once PERFECT FOR Weddings, birthdays, road trips, house parties, reunions, holidays — any time you want the whole night through everyone's eyes, not just your own camera roll. FREE • Up to 25 guests • Up to 300 photos per event • Events up to 24 hours, or end them manually HOST PLUS • Up to 100 guests • Up to 2,500 photos per event • Multi-day events, up to 30 days • Built for weekend trips and week-long vacations Guests never need an account or a subscription — join, shoot, and see the reveal for free. Host Plus is a monthly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Every person remembers a different part of the day. Seen brings those moments together. Create a shared disposable camera for your wedding, birthday, party or group trip. Your guests capture photos on their own phones, and the memories collect in one event album. HOW YOUR FILM WORKS 1. Give your film a name and cover. 2. Choose the number of people, shots per person and when photos become visible. 3. Invite everyone with a QR code or link. 4. Capture the day, then return to the album together. A CAMERA FOR YOUR PEOPLE Choose Original, Vintage or Black & White. Set a photo allowance to make each shot count, or add unlimited captures for your event. Guests can also join from a supported mobile browser. OPEN THE MEMORIES TOGETHER Show photos during the event, reveal them when it ends or add a delay. Save revealed photos and share your favorites. INVITED GUESTS, SHARED MEMORIES Your event album is for its members. Hosts control the guest limit and can choose whether guests see everyone’s photos or only their own. KEEP THEIR VOICES, TOO Create a Tape to collect short voice messages. Set a prompt, invite your guests and keep the words that matter alongside your occasions. START WITH A SMALL GROUP A film for up to five people with a limited shot allowance is free. Larger groups and unlimited captures use one-time in-app purchases.
