25 EXP / pocket film pack

Take 25 photos. Get them printed.

Rollkept is a phone camera that behaves like a boxed roll of film: 25 exposures, no imports, and a real set of prints at the end.

First-roll invites only. No social feed. No filter spam.

Why this exists

Your camera roll is where memories go to disappear.

We made photography frictionless, then wondered why the photos stopped feeling important. Screenshots, duplicates, receipts, almost-moments, AI edits, and throwaway snaps all land in the same endless pile.

Rollkept goes the other way. It gives the roll an edge. You know each photo has a cost, a number, and a physical destination before you press the shutter.

The whole product

Four steps. No hidden workflow.

01

Open the camera

The app opens straight to capture. No feed, explore tab, import screen, or editing tray.

02

Spend a frame

Each shutter press fills one numbered slot. The constraint stays visible while you shoot.

03

Hit 25

The roll closes automatically. That finished set moves into the print queue.

04

Open the envelope

A small physical archive arrives instead of another folder you never open.

The difference

A little less convenient. A lot more memorable.

Normal camera roll

Everything goes in. Almost nothing comes back out.

Rollkept

One finished set, printed and mailed when the roll is full.

The rules

The constraints are the feature.

No imports

You cannot upload old photos. The roll starts now.

No AI filters

The point is not to invent better memories.

No bulk dump

Twenty-five images means twenty-five decisions.

No social feed

These are for the envelope, not the algorithm.

Simple pricing

One roll. Every month.

$20/month covers the whole ritual: a 25-shot roll, a finished set of prints, and an envelope mailed to your door when the roll is full.

First places open in the first supported delivery region. Paper, postage, and envelope details will be clear before checkout.

Trust

Private by default, because these are actual memories.

No public profile

No follows, likes, comments, or feed pressure.

GPS stripped

Location data is removed by default before printing.

No AI training

Your roll is not raw material for an image model.

FAQ

Before the first roll.

Can I upload photos from my camera roll?

No. Rollkept only prints photos taken inside the app. The roll starts now, not in a backlog of old screenshots, duplicates, and almost-moments.

What happens when I reach 25?

The roll closes. You confirm the delivery details, then the finished set is printed and posted as one complete batch.

Why is Rollkept paid?

$20/month includes one 25-photo roll and one finished set of prints mailed to your door. The price is visible on purpose: it gives every frame a real limit and a real destination.

What does the monthly plan include?

One active roll, 25 printed photos, and delivery as one complete set in the first supported region. If you are still finishing a roll, your next roll credit waits in your account.

Can I delete a bad photo?

There will be a short undo for obvious accidents. After that, the frame stays in the roll. A little imperfection is part of why the set feels alive.

Do I get digital copies?

Rollkept is print-first. The app keeps a small contact sheet so you can see the roll status, but the main reward is the envelope, not another gallery.

What size are the prints?

The first sets are planned around classic 4x6-style prints with a clean border. We will confirm the paper and finish before anyone pays for a roll.

What if I never finish a roll?

The roll stays open. Rollkept should not pressure you into filler photos just to complete an order, so the prints are only made when the set is actually finished.

Can I change the shipping address?

Yes. You can update the address before the roll is sent to print, and the app asks you to confirm it when the roll is complete.

Is this a disposable camera app?

It borrows the best part of a disposable camera: limited frames and a physical ending. It skips the plastic waste and the extra errand.

Where will it ship?

The first release will open in one supported delivery region so postage and print quality stay consistent. We will show the region clearly before checkout.

First roll
