Reveal in At 9:00 AM
Example chapter
How it works
Create it. Share it. Wait for morning.
-
01
Create the event
Name it, then choose when the camera opens and closes and when everyone gets to see the photos. It takes a few minutes.
-
02
Share the code
Print the QR code on table cards or send the link in a message. Guests scan it and the camera opens. No app, no account, just a first name.
-
03
Wait for morning
Everyone takes photos. Nobody can look: not guests, not you. At the reveal, the whole album opens at once.
Try it
Take one.
Try to look.
This is how the camera feels to a guest. Take a photo and you get… nothing. It goes straight into the sealed pile, just like at a real event.
Your photo stays on this page. It is never uploaded or saved, and it is gone when you close the tab.
Rather use your phone?Scan this code and the camera opens there.
Your browser will ask to use the camera.
That’s all three.
They’re sealed. Scroll down to watch the night, or skip straight to morning.

What happens overnight
The party is in full swing.
Guests take photos all night. Every one goes straight into the sealed pile, and nobody can open it.
The camera closes at 11:00 PM.
The party goes on, but the photos are finished. Not one has been seen.
Overnight, nothing changes.
Guests can’t look. The host can’t look. Our support tools can’t look. A photo only opens at the reveal.
Almost morning.
Everyone is wondering what everyone else caught. You’ll all find out together.
9:00 AM
Good morning.
All night, nothing changed. The photos stayed sealed for everyone: guests, the host and our support tools. At the reveal, the whole album opens at once.
The album
See the night
you never saw.
Every guest’s photos, from every corner of the room, in one album. You’ll find the ones you would never have thought to take.
- Every photo shows who took it, so you know who caught what.
- Save the ones you love to your phone. The host can save the whole album at once.
- Photos stay for a full year after the reveal. Save what you want to keep before then.
Built for real parties
The small things that matter at midnight.
A weekend, not just a night. With the iPhone app
On a trip or a wedding weekend, each day opens on its own morning, so there is something new to see every day. Chapters can run up to 7 days.
- FriOpens Saturday, 9:00 AM
- SatOpens Sunday, 9:00 AM
- SunOpens Monday, 9:00 AM
A dead zone only delays a photo.
Once a guest has joined, the camera keeps working with no signal. Photos wait on the phone and send when the page is open and there is signal.
Nobody scans your photos.
No ads and no tracking. Nothing automated looks at your photos, and they are encrypted with a key for each chapter.
This site itself loads nothing from anyone else: no trackers, no cookies. You can check.
You stay in charge.
See who has joined and how many photos have come in, without seeing any. Keep the camera open longer if the party runs late. After the reveal, take down any photo. Remove any guest at any time.
One look for everyone.
No filter, a warm disposable look, or black and white. Every photo in the chapter matches, and all three are free.
A full year to save them.
Photos stay in your album for a full year after the reveal. Save the ones you want to your phone whenever you like.

Questions
Good questions. Straight answers.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Guests scan your QR code, or tap your link, and the camera opens right in their browser. There is nothing to install and no account to make. They type a first name, confirm they are 13 or older, and start taking photos.
Which phones work?
iPhone and Android phones, in the browser they already have: Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android. Guests scan the code with their normal camera app. We test on iPhone first. Android works the same way but has had less testing, so if a phone gives you trouble, tell us and we will look into it.
Can the host look at the photos early?
No. Nobody can, not even the host. Until the reveal time, no one is shown a single photo: not guests, not you, and not our support tools.
You can see who has joined and how many photos have come in, but never the photos themselves.
What if there is no signal at the venue?
Once a guest has joined, the camera keeps working with no signal. Each photo is saved on the guest’s phone first and sent while the page is open and there is signal. If a guest closes the page, unsent photos wait on the phone and send the next time they open their link. A guest does need a signal for the first visit, to join.
How long are photos kept?
A full year after the reveal. With the iPhone app, the album shows the exact date. Save the photos you want to keep before then. If you delete your account, your chapters and their photos are erased.
How much does it cost?
A chapter for up to 10 guests is free. Bigger chapters are a one-time price for that chapter, from $9 for 25 guests to $99 for 250. There is no subscription and no watermark. You can run up to 3 free chapters at the same time.
Can I get a refund?
Chapters for more than 10 guests are bought in the iPhone app, through the App Store, so Apple handles refunds, as it does for every App Store purchase. You can ask Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. If you would like a hand with that, write to hello@thischapter.app. A chapter for up to 10 guests is free, so there is nothing to refund.
