LightRoll is the everyday camera for cleaner photo libraries. Snap receipts, parking spots, whiteboard notes, labels, documents and other utility shots without burying your real memories in camera roll clutter. Choose Keep for moments worth saving, or Temp for photos you only need for now. LightRoll is free to download and try. Start with a 1-month free trial on the annual plan. After the trial, the annual plan renews yearly unless cancelled, or you can choose lifetime access as a one-time purchase. Keep photos save to the album you choose. Temp photos are still saved to your photo gallery but these can all be deleted with one tap. LightRoll tracks when Temp photos expire, reminds you when they are ready to review, and lets you clear them with one tap, subject to confirmation. Now LightRoll also includes a full photo editor, with filters, portrait lighting and advanced depth-of-field controls for giving your shots the right look before you keep them or move on. KEEP WHAT MATTERS Use Keep for photos you want to save long term: • Family moments • Travel photos • Memories • Portraits • Work worth keeping • Anything that belongs in your permanent library Keep photos go to your chosen album, so the photos that matter stay organised from the start. TEMP THE REST Use Temp for photos you only need for now: • Receipts • Parking spots • Whiteboard notes • Package labels • Measurements • Menus • Documents • Shopping reminders • Quick reference photos • Anything useful today but not forever Most camera roll clutter starts with photos that were useful for a moment. LightRoll helps you decide what belongs in your library before it becomes clutter. EDIT WITH MORE CONTROL LightRoll is not just a temporary photo camera. It is built to feel like an everyday camera, with editing tools ready when you need them. Use the built-in editor to adjust your photos with: • Filters • Portrait lighting • Manual depth-of-field editing • Advanced depth control for supported portrait photos Give important shots a polished look, or quickly improve utility photos before saving, sharing or clearing them later. LESS CAMERA ROLL CLUTTER LightRoll helps you stop saving every throwaway photo like it is a memory. Instead of sorting through hundreds of old receipts, labels, notes and parking photos later, you choose Keep or Temp at the moment you capture. Your camera roll stays cleaner, your important photos stay easier to find, and your photo library stays more intentional over time. BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE LightRoll is designed to feel like a normal camera, with one extra decision that makes all the difference. • Shoot with a simple two-shutter camera • Choose Keep or Temp before clutter starts • Save Keep photos to the album you choose • Save Temp photos knowing you won't have to worry about manually deleting them later • Clear expired Temp photos when you are ready with one tap • Edit photos with filters, portrait lighting and depth controls • Capture real memories without mixing them with throwaway shots WHY LIGHTROLL? Because not every photo deserves to live in your camera roll forever. Some photos are memories. Some photos are reminders. Some photos are useful for a day, a week, or a single task. LightRoll gives each photo the right place from the moment you take it. Shoot now. Sort never. Keep the moments that matter. Temp the ones that don’t. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos should stay yours. No accounts. No ads. No cross-app tracking. No LightRoll photo servers. LightRoll does not upload your photos or videos to its own servers, analyse your images, sell your data, or use advertising identifiers.
