Lapse is a social disposable camera application that allows users to capture and share photos within private group chats. The app emulates the experience of traditional disposable cameras by enabling groups to take a set of 36 photos, referred to as 'rolls.' Once the first photo is taken, the roll becomes accessible to group members for a limited time, fostering a sense of shared experience and nostalgia. This innovative approach encourages users to engage with friends while creating temporary memories that are exclusive to their group.
