StudyLapse turns a study session into a time lapse. Tap start, prop your phone up, and work. StudyLapse tracks how long you actually studied and quietly builds a video of the session — so at the end you have both a number and something to look at. BUILT FOR LONG SESSIONS Most apps that do this record continuous video, flatten your battery, and leave you with a file too big to keep. StudyLapse captures a single frame every few seconds and writes it straight to a compact video as it goes. A two-hour session becomes a sixty-second clip of about 26 MB. THE TIMER DOESN'T LIE Lock your phone, take a call, or switch apps and the clock keeps running — because you're still studying. iOS won't let any app use the camera in the background, so when that happens StudyLapse tells you exactly when the video paused and why, instead of pretending it didn't. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. No server. Your sessions and videos are stored on your device and are never uploaded. There are no ads, no analytics, and no tracking. • Elapsed time that stays accurate through screen locks and interruptions • 720p time lapses, roughly 26 MB for two hours • Adjustable capture interval with a live size estimate • Session history with duration, subject, and date • Share any time lapse with the standard iOS share sheet • Works fully offline

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: StudyLapse at 5.0 against iMathematics's 3.5. StudyLapse also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). iMathematics's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
