Event Photo App With No Download

No app store step for guests — scan, nickname, shoot photos or video. The host gets gallery, engagement, and an highlight reel.

Quick Take / TL;DR

Momento is browser-first for guests. QR or link opens join page in Safari or Chrome. Camera, gallery, challenges, and leaderboard all run in the mobile browser.

Product in action

Digital disposable camera flow — QR upload, photos & 60s video, private gallery, curated highlight reel.

QR upload

Guests scan and upload photos and 60s video from browser — no app download.

Live gallery

Every guest photo and video clip in one private event album.

Highlight reel

Host generates a curated recap with music and award beats.

Search intent

The searcher explicitly wants photo collection software where guests never visit the app store.

Best for

Hosts whose guests refuse app installs — weddings with older relatives, corporate events, and large Indian family functions.

The problem

Why hosts search for this

Every guest app has adoption friction. Half the guest list never installs, and the photo collection fails before it starts.
