To revolutionize the world of social media, the French social startup Amo has launched another app, Capture, which they describe as “your new camera.” In November, Amo released their first app named ID (described as “your new profile”), which lets you create your personalized profile pages, and now you got a camera cum social app. Want to know what the Capture app is all about? Come along!
Amo, a social startup based in Paris, is co-founded by ten veterans in the social industry. They are the same people who brought the location-sharing app Zenly, which was acquired by Snap, spending more than $200 million but later disappeared. Now, the same Zenly team is working at Amo. So you can anticipate the level of competition Amo’s app can give to all the existing social apps.
So, without further ado, let’s jump into the article and learn what the Capture app is. Why wait, then? Let’s begin!

What is the Capture App?
Capture by Amo is a camera app with social features like Snapchat.
Capture by Amo is primarily a camera app with a touch of the social app. The company describes the Capture app as “your new camera,” where you can capture moments of your life to share with your close friends.
When asked about the Capture app, Amo co-founder Antoine Martin said, “It’s the thing that I’ve been the most obsessively thinking about for the past 12 years of my life. They all make photo apps, and I use other photo apps every day. Why can’t I make one myself? How would I do it?”
But what sets the Capture app apart from other photo-sharing apps is the fact that there are no followers to count. Also, there is no algorithm to keep you in the app, and once you have seen all the captured photos of your friends, Capture shuts down so that you can get off your phone. Isn’t it amazing?
How Does Capture App Work?
Amo launched this app to make keeping up with friends less complicated. You can add your close friends to this app and, normally, use it to capture unfiltered moments in life that you would love to share with them.
Unlike other social apps, you don’t need to worry about carefully curating your posts. You simply open this app, capture the moment, and put the phone back in your pocket.
- Your captured photos are automatically saved in your photo library and also shared with your friends, who can see and comment on them.
- Every picture you click using Capture is shared with your friends automatically, as this app is made just for friends.
In this app, “consumption takes a back seat; you don’t land into a feed. It’s a creation-first app, and that’s really what it’s all about.” When asked how this app works, Martin, Amo’s co-founder, said, “If I’m walking in the street and I see a Space Invader that I like, I just capture it, I’m there, I take a photo, I turn off my phone, it’s in my pocket. I don’t spend minutes looking at the preview.”
Are There Filters in the Capture App?
Yes, there are filters in the Capture App, but they are not called “filters” but “style.”
In the Capture app, you find a wide range of customization options and styles to capture photos in, but they are not named as filters. As soon as you open this app, you will see the viewfinder, a big shutter button, and a few small icons next to it. You simply click a photo and keep your phone back in your pocket, and that is it.
Your clicked photo is automatically shared with your added friends without you needing to do something extra. But you can always swipe left on the screen to customize your photo a little if you want to. Like,
- You can customize the color, temperature, and vibe of the photos, but you still need to do something you have the options in your hand to customize it the way you want.
- On saving a picture with specific customization, that result will be applied to other pictures you click till you customize it again. However, you can always reapply the previously used theme, as all themes are saved.
- You can create your own style by capturing photos either in 0.5, superzoom, or front-back mode and then tilt to unveil captures in a feed that’s just for friends
Other Apps by AMO
ID is another app by Amo, which lets you create a personalized profile page.
The best thing about the Amo apps is that when you create your first profile with any of Amo’s apps, this profile acts as a shared app for the other future Amo apps you download. This is because your profile, friendships, feed, and settings are shared across all the Amo apps you use, and this makes trying new Amo apps super easy and less time-consuming, as you just need to download the app.
