Reveal is the digital disposable camera for your events. Create an album, display the QR code, and let your guests capture the celebration from every angle. Photos stay hidden during the event — then everything is revealed at once, at the time you choose. THE REVEAL MOMENT During the celebration, no one sees the photos: no passing phones around, no gallery to keep checking. When it’s time for the reveal, the entire gallery develops at once, like prints emerging from a darkroom. It’s the moment everyone has been waiting for. YOUR GUESTS JOIN IN SECONDS • They scan the QR code or open your link • They enter just their first name — no account needed • They land straight in your album, ready to take photos JUST LIKE SHOOTING ON FILM • A limited number of photos per guest: every shot counts • No editing, no filters: the celebration just as it happened • Every photo is credited to the guest who took it, using their first name YOUR EVENT, YOUR RULES • Choose the number of photos per guest • Schedule the end of the event and the reveal • As the host, view and delete photos at any time • Decide who can see the revealed gallery: everyone, or just you FOR ALL YOUR SPECIAL MOMENTS Weddings, birthdays, parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, trips with friends, New Year’s Eve, team building: every event has its own album, QR code, and rules. PLAN AHEAD Create your album whenever you like: your guests can only access it once you share the QR code. Perfect for stress-free wedding planning. SIMPLE PRICING Free for up to 5 participants. Beyond that, a one-time payment per event, based on the number of guests. No subscription.

One night. One roll. Everybody shooting into it. Glimp turns your event into a single shared disposable camera. The host opens an event, sends a link or a QR code, and every guest shoots into the same roll. THE SHOT LIMIT CHANGES EVERYTHING Each guest gets a set number of shots for the whole event. Not a thousand. A handful. You stop spraying and start choosing — and the album that comes out is the one nobody usually takes. NOBODY SEES A THING UNTIL IT'S OVER Turn the reveal on and every photo stays sealed until the event ends. No live feed, no phones out comparing shots, nobody editing the night while it's still happening. When it ends, the whole roll develops at once and you discover it together. Prefer instant? Turn it off. It's set per event, and any guest can still let a single shot through early. WHAT'S INSIDE • Photos and video in the same roll • Original quality • Unlimited photos — the limit is per guest, not per album • Invite by link or QR code, with or without approval • Likes, a best of, postcards • Download anything you want to keep • Works offline — shoot in a basement, it uploads when you're back • Live Activity and a home-screen widget for the shots you have left • Kept for good, with no automatic deletion PRICING, PLAINLY Free for a small crew. Bigger guest list, one-off payment for that event. Nothing renews, nothing is a subscription. Every size includes the same thing — unlimited photos, original quality, the sealed reveal, permanent storage. Only the guest count changes. PRIVACY No address book imported. Your email is only how friends add you to an event, never shown to anyone else. Your photos are visible only to the people in the events you join. Delete an event and every file goes with it. Made for weddings, birthdays, road trips, festivals, and a Tuesday that got out of hand.
