Remember disposable cameras? Point, click, wind on. No screen to check, no retakes, no filters to agonise over. Just 24 chances to catch something — and that wait before you saw what you actually got.
Patchy is that camera.
HOW IT WORKS
You get a roll of 24 shots and a small viewfinder. That's it.
Shoot. No reviewing, no retaking, no deleting. Every press counts.
When the roll is finished, it goes off to develop — for 12 hours.
In a hurry? Watch an ad and the lab develops your roll right away.
When it's ready, your photos come back with real film character: colour, grain, soft vignettes… and if you're lucky, a light leak.
WHAT PATCHY DOESN'T HAVE
No zoom. No exposure sliders. No filter picker. No editing. No accounts. No cloud. The limits are the product — they're what make the photos feel like moments instead of content.
YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS
Everything happens on your phone. Patchy has no accounts and no servers of its own — your photos never leave your device. The only thing that goes online is the optional watch-an-ad Rush Development button, which uses Google's ad network. Save your favourites to your gallery, share them, or turn a whole roll into a contact sheet — it's all yours.
Best enjoyed at parties, weddings, trips, and slow Sundays. Wind on.
