Capture stunning long-exposure night sky photos with advanced manual controls and frame stacking. This app offers precise focus on starlight, a meteor detector, and celestial aiming overlays for astrophotography on your phone.

Stacks now build under city skies, haze and cloud. When too few stars are visible to align on, frames are stacked in place instead of being dropped, so Save keeps the whole exposure rather than a single preview frame.

Thanks for flagging this, and sorry for the crash. We found it: on iPhone 17 Pro Max with iOS 27 the camera refused a sensor format at startup. Version 1.0.2 fixes it and is on its way to the App Store. If it still closes after updating, please write to info@superduperai.co.
Starlapse offers advanced manual camera controls that remain locked, preventing common issues like exposure creep or autofocus hunting. It also utilizes frame stacking to achieve exposures longer than what the hardware alone can manage, resulting in significantly reduced noise and more detailed images.
Starlapse employs a unique autofocus method that steps the lens across its range and measures star size at each position, settling on the smallest. This process, similar to how observatories focus, takes about a minute and ensures sharp star points, which is crucial for astrophotography.
Yes, Starlapse allows you to develop your stacked images in two ways: 'pinpoint stars,' where frames are aligned on stars to keep them as points, and 'star trails,' which render the sky's rotation as arcs while keeping the ground sharp.
Yes, Starlapse includes a meteor detector that actively watches the sky. When it detects a meteor crossing, it automatically saves a short clip of the event, making it easier to capture fleeting celestial phenomena.
Starlapse offers an aiming overlay that shows the positions of planets, bright stars, meteor radiants, and the Moon. It calculates the optimal aiming point for meteors, considering your location and time, and helps you avoid the Moon for better visibility.
The stacked image data is kept as accumulated light, allowing you to develop it afterwards. You can adjust curves (stretch, black point, exposure, saturation) to re-develop the image from the original data, similar to the flexibility provided by RAW files.
Based on the provided data, Starlapse is currently only supported on iPhone devices. There is no information indicating Android compatibility at this time.
Starlapse was last updated on September 14, 2026, with version 1.0.1. This indicates a recent update, suggesting ongoing development and support for the application.
