WATCH THE WORLD TRANSFORM, ONE PHOTO AT A TIME Drop a pin at any spot: your front porch, a construction site, a growing garden, your favorite trail. Take a photo. Every time you return, TimeWarp reminds you and shows a ghost overlay of your last shot, so you line up the exact same frame. Then play it all back as a beautiful timelapse and watch your world change. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Use TimeWarp entirely on your own. No account required, nothing uploaded, every photo stays on your device. A personal time machine for the places you love. Want a safety net? An optional free account backs up your points and syncs them across your devices. BUILT FOR THE PERFECT MATCH • Ghost overlay lines every new shot up with your last one • Lens and zoom are remembered per spot, so every frame stays consistent • Smart reminders, from hourly to yearly, nudge you at just the right time • Play back, export, and share your timelapses as video TRACE THE SUN'S FIGURE-8 Photograph the sun from the same spot at the same time once a month, and TimeWarp stacks your shots into an analemma: the glowing figure-8 the sun draws across the sky over a year. Guided reminders and an AR sun finder help you catch each month's shot. A patient project with a stunning payoff. A TIMELAPSE CAPTURED BY MANY HANDS Publish a spot as a community warp point and let anyone nearby add their own frames: a shared, ever-growing record of a place, built by everyone who passes through. Explore community points around you on the map, add to the ones you visit, or create a private community just for family and friends. POST A BOUNTY. GET THE SHOT. Want to know what a place looks like right now (a trailhead, a surf break, a job site) but can't get there? Post a bounty and someone nearby will travel there and capture it for you. Or earn money fulfilling bounties around you. Every fulfillment is verified at the location by GPS, and photographers line up their shot to your reference, so you get real, current conditions, framed the way you asked. Photographers are paid through Stripe for their time and travel. Your places have stories. Start telling them.
