“nothing planned. that is the plan.”
ROLL 088APR 12 · AS SHOT

Six frames a day, developed at eight, where you are.

We hold this address under our Privacy Policy to tell you when the door opens, then delete it.

THE HOUR

Eight in the evening, wherever you are.

Not a broadcast and not a setting. Your roll closes when your day does: the same hour on everyone's clock, never the same instant on anyone's.

YOUR EVENING
It lands when you are actually home.
Eight o'clock is the end of a day, not four in the morning because someone else's day ended.
NOT YOURS TO SET
Eight is fixed. It just follows you.
There is no time picker: a picker turns a ritual into a preference. Fly east and tonight still develops at the eight you left; tomorrow keeps the new one.
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU
Nothing is live, so nothing is missed.
The roll develops on time whether you open the app or not. There is no catch-up counter and nothing expires.
WHAT IT WON'T DO

Three refusals, and everything follows from them.

NO PREVIEW
You can't see it before you take it.
The glass is live. The roll is blind until eight.
NO DELETE
The bad one goes up too.
All six are shown, in order. The wasted one is part of the day. It usually turns out to be the good one.
NO NUMBERS
No likes, no followers, no streaks.
Someone can vouch for a frame. That is the whole of the social layer.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Four letters, then the door.

The list is not a queue and not a scoreboard.

Email only. No name, no camera, no country. If you leave, one click and we forget you entirely.

THE FIRST LETTER A camera you cannot check
THE SECOND LETTER Enough to describe a day, too few to cover it
THE THIRD LETTER Eight in the evening, wherever you are
THE FOURTH LETTER No feed, no followers, no streaks
THE DOOR The darkroom is open. Your code is in this morning's letter.

No dates. Each letter arrives when it is written, and the door opens after the fourth.

Tomorrow you get six frames.

Take a place now and the door opens after the fourth letter. Load a roll, shoot your six, and at eight that evening it develops without you.
