ROLL: the shared disposable camera alternative to Dispo
ROLL is a shared disposable camera for events, and a group-first alternative to Dispo. Where Dispo is a social app built around a personal feed of disposable-style photos that develop the next morning, ROLL is scoped to a single event: one host creates the camera, guests scan a QR to join with no account or app install, and every photo stays hidden until the host develops the roll. It's designed for weddings and parties where you want every guest's photos in one place — and one reveal at the end.

Dispo alternative — FAQ
Is ROLL a good Dispo alternative for a wedding?
Yes. ROLL is built specifically for events: guests scan a QR to join with no account, shoot their frames, and nothing is visible until you develop the roll — then the whole day is revealed at once. That's a better fit for a wedding than a personal social feed.
Do guests need an account like they do on Dispo?
No. Guests join through an App Clip (iPhone) or Instant App (Android) by scanning your QR — they type a name and start shooting. Only the host needs the full app.
Can everyone download the photos afterward?
Yes. Once you develop the roll you can open a web gallery so guests view and download full-size photos in any browser — no app required.
