About Memento

Memento is a shared disposable camera for weddings, birthdays, trips and reunions. The host shares a link or prints a QR code, guests open the camera right in their browser with no app and no account, and every shot goes into one roll.

The host decides how many shots each guest gets and when the photos develop: while the event runs, once it ends or after an added delay. Until then every frame stays undeveloped, and then the whole day appears at once from many angles.

Access is controlled by the host. You can keep the full album private so guests see only their own shots or open it to everyone, and only the host can download unless you enable it for guests. The description says you can start free.
