HoldCam turns a table into a disposable camera
A browser-based event camera where guests take a finite number of phone photos, then see the sealed roll together at a chosen time.
Field notes
The service models each gathering as a finite roll rather than an ongoing feed: hosts choose a cap and reveal time, guests shoot through a shared browser link, and the gallery opens simultaneously. The listed tiers make the constraints unusually concrete, from 12 frames for 10 guests on the free plan to 27 frames per guest on Party and Wedding plans. The page also states that offline captures are held for upload when connectivity returns and that over-cap frames remain in escrow rather than being discarded.
