Gudak

Purely and utterly pointless; flies in the face of reason; distorts the essential purpose of technology--it's absolutely brilliant. Big upvote.

It's weird to think that there will be kids downloading this that have never seen or held a disposable camera before 👶

So I've been using this app obsessively, as in: I don't really use the iPhone's camera app any more. At the core of it, the idea may seem silly: Take a bunch of photos (24 to be exact), have them pretend to be developed, then see them three days later masked by a bunch of fake light-leaks and film-grain. But in actuality, I find that having a limited amount of photos I can take in a "roll" makes me more selective about the moments I intend to capture, and waiting multiple days to see them means I don't spend time in my Photos app checking to make sure the framing is just right or any of the myriad nitpicks I would normally use as an excuse to go back and take the photos again. I just snap and move on. I understand that Gudak isn't for everyone, but it definitely is for ME, and that's cool.

Thanks @brendonbigley for referring me to this! Am waiting for my photos to be developed. 😇 In the meantime, here are a few examples (from Brendon's camera roll)

Next feature: only allow the photos to become available when the phone detects you are geographically at a CVS or other film processing store ;)

I'm a big fan of Gudak. Taking a step back to emulate our more complicated days of analog has been excitingly refreshing.

Brilliant concept. Awesome app. Take 24 photos and wait three days for them to develop. Oh, the excitement :)
