Runs on an Android tablet
Pick any modern Android tablet (at least an 8-inch screen). Install once, take it to the next event, and the next.
SnapCabin
Guests snap their photo, pick how they want it, and walk away with it in their inbox. Runs on the tablet you already own. Photos go straight to your guests.
Like a little cabin: everything it needs is inside, and nobody else has a key.
Three ways to capture a moment
Single photo, four-shot collage, or short looping GIF. Guests pick what feels right.
Photos straight to a guest's inbox
Guests type their email and the photo arrives as an attachment. A QR code option lets them scan and download too.
Make it look like your event
Add the couple's names, a tagline, a watermark, a custom border, or a logo overlay. Change any of it from the kiosk.
Your photos stay yours
Photos live on the tablet, or in your own photo-hosting account if you wire one up. SnapCabin never holds copies.
A history of every send
An on-tablet log shows every email that went out, with timestamps and a masked recipient address.
No accounts. No cloud. No subscription.
Photos stay yours. They live on the tablet, or in your own photo-hosting account if you connect one — SnapCabin never holds copies and never phones home.
How it works
From box to booth in an afternoon
- 01
Install once
Buy SnapCabin, install it on your Android tablet. Setup wizard runs you through camera and storage permissions.
- 02
Name your event
Long-press a corner, type the admin PIN, give the event a name and a tagline. The look of the booth updates right away.
- 03
Plug in email and photo hosting
Add a key for email delivery and a preset for the QR code. Both are optional and we link you to step-by-step guides.
- 04
Run the event
Turn on Kiosk Mode to lock the tablet to SnapCabin for the night. Guests do the rest.
Bring your own keys
Two services do the heavy lifting
Emails the photo as an attachment
Resend
When a guest types their email address, Resend delivers a tidy message with the photo attached. You bring the account; the tablet uses your API key only. Resend's free tier covers 3,000 emails per month.
Hosts the photo behind a QR code
Cloudinary
If you want a QR-code download option on the share screen, the tablet uploads each photo to your Cloudinary account and renders a code pointing at it. The free tier covers a typical event.
The two integrations are independent. Turn on Resend for email delivery, Cloudinary for the QR tile, or both. Without either, the tablet still saves locally and the system share menu still works.
FAQ
Quick answers
What does it cost?
$2.99 on Google Play, per device. Pay once, install on the tablet you're using as the booth. If you run more than one tablet at the same event, each tablet is a separate $2.99 install. Whatever you spend at Resend or Cloudinary for delivery and hosting is between you and them — we don't take a cut. Refunds follow Google Play's standard refund policy.
Do I have to use Resend and Cloudinary?
Only if you want photos to travel off the tablet. Resend emails the photo to a guest as an attachment; Cloudinary hosts a copy so a QR code can deliver it. Both are optional and independent. Without them, guests can still save locally, share via the Android system share sheet, or print.
What kind of tablet do I need?
An Android tablet, at least eight inches, ideally with a decent front-facing camera. We've had good results with Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and newer. Phones aren't supported. SnapCabin is built for 8-inch tablets and larger, so the layout always looks right at the event.
Does SnapCabin send any data back to you?
The app does not include analytics SDKs, crash reporters, or other libraries that phone home. Whatever your guests send through Resend or Cloudinary goes only to your account at those services. The privacy policy covers this in more detail.
Can I run multiple events?
Yes. You give each event a name and the app keeps photos, audit logs, and rate limits scoped to it. Today the kiosk handles one active event at a time. Start a new event when you're ready to switch.
