Every idea here is the same tape underneath. Tap REC and film with the iPhone Camera app, then when it's done, anyone with an account taps Develop and it comes back as one film in the Tape Cabinet. Pick yours below.

OccasionTripsOne tape for the trip, or one per leg of a long one. Start it before you leave, so the airport makes it on. OccasionWeddingsThe day, filmed by the guests you pick. Start it a week or two out, and give the after-party a tape of its own. OccasionFamilyOne tape per stretch of ordinary life: a summer, a school term, the holidays. Whoever's around films into it, from whichever house. OccasionSports seasonsFirst game to last on one tape. Whichever parent made it to Saturday's game films it. OccasionParties & birthdaysOne night, from the setup to the last ones standing. Start it that afternoon. OccasionGrandparentsA visit, or a year of visits, on one tape. Their voice and their stories, not just a photo. OccasionBachelor & bacheloretteOne weekend, run by the organizer and handed to the person it's for as one film at the end.

The holidays

One tape for each of the season's big days. All the holiday ideas.

HolidayFriendsgivingOne night, every friend's phone, one film. HolidayThanksgivingOne tape across houses and travel days, the kids' table included. HolidayChristmas morningEveryone films a little, so whoever usually holds the phone is in it too. HolidayNew Year's EveMidnight from every phone in the room. Develop it on January 1.

No occasion needed

Not everything worth a tape has a date on it. These are for the stretches of life that never send an invitation.

IdeaThings worth a tapeA last year in an apartment, a new job once it's routine, a slow phone call: what earns a tape with no occasion. IdeaA year of your kidTwo or three moments you film every time they come around, on one tape, instead of a documentation project. IdeaWhat to film on an ordinary dayDinner, the car, someone mid-task: the unglamorous footage that holds up later.

The rules are the same for every one of these

Nothing above is a different product. It's the same tape, the same buttons, applied to whatever you're filming.

  • 8 people per tape, including you, on every plan.
  • 2 hours of footage per tape, on every plan.
  • Several tapes, running at once.
  • 2 GB free to start.
  • Turning a tape into a film is included, not an upgrade.
  • Anyone with the link can watch the finished film in a browser, no app, no account.

And on every one of them, clips land in the order they were recorded, not the order they finish uploading. How a shared tape works, in full.

Trying to solve a specific problem rather than plan for an occasion, like getting everyone's clips back from a trip that's already over? The guides are organised by problem instead, and the questions page has the short answers.

Start with 2 GB free.

The free plan is the real product, not a demo: make tapes, fill one with up to 8 people including you, trim, Develop, and share films by link. Storage is the only thing a paid plan will ever change.
