About the app
Flashes is a complimentary social app made for iPhone that helps people capture candid moments from their nights out. It’s built to encourage users to stay present with friends while still preserving fun memories.
How it operates
The app sends an hourly reminder asking you to take a quick photo of whatever you’re doing. Those short, spontaneous shots create a streak of images that document your evening without interrupting the flow of your night.
Reviewing and sharing the next day
Each morning, users can open the app to review and save the images—called “flashes.” Photos can be downloaded and shared with friends, making it simple to re-experience highlights and swap stories. Flashes also lets you explore and interact with friends’ uploads, which helps keep a social loop going after the night ends.

Why people use it
Users like Flashes because it strikes a balance between living in the moment and preserving memories. The hourly prompts are unobtrusive yet effective at capturing a night’s progression, and the morning review makes reminiscing easy and communal.
