Get started today with Smart Fill and create a meaningful movie of your life right away. 2x winner of the “Best Use of a Mobile Camera” WEBBY Award. Featured by Apple, BBC, TED, CNN, Fast Company and more! Public Benefit Corporation "For over 10 years, I’ve been recording 1 second every day, so I’ll never forget another day ever again. This project had such a positive impact on my day-to-day life after a few months, that I dedicated my life to making a mobile app which would make it easy for anyone to do this too. Being able to relive every single day has provided me with a treasured perspective on life. It holds me accountable for making each day notable. When I turned 40, I had a 1-hour movie that encapsulated my 30s. If I live to see 80 years of age, I’ll have a 5-hour video that summarizes 50 years of my life." - Cesar Kuriyama, 1SE Founder Why 1SE is awesome: - SMART-FILL: Don't know where to start?

One of you holds the camera. The other one decides. Declic puts his camera on your screen. He points his phone at you, and you see the frame he is composing, from where you are standing. Frame it. Zoom in. Take it when you're ready. A countdown gives you time to put your phone down before it fires, so it is out of the picture. Three frames are taken instead of one, so you are not stuck with the shot where you blinked. Then you choose which ones to keep. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pair the two phones once, in person. Both show a six-digit code; compare them and you are done. 2. One of you holds the camera. The other one takes the photo. 3. See the live view on your own screen. Pick your zoom. Fire when you like. 4. Put your phone down during the countdown. 5. Keep the frames you want. SHOW HIM THE POSE Send him the photo you want to copy. It sits faintly over his screen, so the shot is lined up before you are even in it. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT The two phones talk directly to each other over the local network. Nothing goes through a server while you are shooting. Photos you save to your shared album are private to the two of you. They are sent over an encrypted connection, stored encrypted, and only your two accounts can open them. There is no feed, no profiles, no strangers, and no way for anyone to reach you. To send you anything at all, someone has to have stood next to you and compared a six-digit code. SHARED ALBUM — SUBSCRIPTION Album & Photo Guide keeps every photo you decide to keep on both phones, and unlocks the photo guide. One subscription covers both of you — only one person pays. Monthly or yearly, and the yearly works out cheaper. It renews automatically until cancelled, and you can cancel any time in Settings. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Taking photos is free, and always will be. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
