Instant Box was born out of a real need.

I’m a Polaroid photographer and own several cameras. Each Polaroid can hold only one film pack at a time, and each pack contains eight photos. Having multiple cameras helps when you’re not sure you want to shoot with the same type of film, the more cameras you have, the more different film packs you can use at once.

The app works as an inventory system. Photographers can add their cameras, manage their film pack inventory, link packs to specific cameras, and even record the date of a shoot. This way, there’s no need to check the camera to know how many shots are left — you can just check the app.
