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?

Blits

Blits is your video diary, and you make it together. Every tap is exactly one second. And Blits stitches all those seconds together into one film, automatically. Turn a holiday, a festival, a weekend with friends or a whole year into a film you will actually watch again. No editing, no fuss. Just tap now and then. VIDEO DIARY No one-second-a-day limit: tap as often as you like. Every tap is one second, and Blits lines them up day by day. Your video diary grows on its own, and at the end of the day, the holiday or the year your film is ready. HOW IT WORKS Open Blits and the camera is live. Tap the button: one second. Prefer two or three seconds? Set it per film, right on the home screen. Every second lands at the end of your film. Done is done. FILMS Make a film per occasion: Italy 2026, Sam's birthday, My year. Switch the active film with one tap. Films can run for years or a single weekend. WATCH AND ADJUST Your film plays instantly, no export needed. The strip below shows every second: tap to jump, drag to reorder, remove a second that did not work (and bring it back if you change your mind). IMPORT Already have a video or photo? Pick the best second from Photos with the second picker. Photos become a still second. STAMPS Optionally add the date, time or place to your seconds, in ten sticker designs. Per film, or just on one second. FILM TOGETHER Invite friends or family to a film, with a link or a code. Everyone who joins adds their own seconds to that same film; as the maker you decide the order and can hide a second that does not fit. Every member can also make a personal version, just on their own phone. Someone who is no longer welcome can be removed or blocked, and a second can be reported to Blits. MAKE A VIDEO AND SHARE One button turns your film into a portrait 1080p video, ready for Instagram Stories, TikTok, YouTube Shorts or WhatsApp. Too long for a story? Blits splits it into neat parts. SAFELY STORED (PREMIUM) Upgrade to Premium and your seconds are also safe in the cloud. New phone or reinstalled the app? Sign in and restore them, always free, even without Premium. Every second is also saved to your own Photos. LOOK BACK Blits shows you what you captured a year, a month or a week ago. The best part of collecting seconds is seeing them again. PREMIUM (optional) Longer seconds by holding the button, 4K videos and no watermark on your video. Just want the watermark and end card gone for one film? Buy that per film. Free stays free: unlimited seconds, unlimited films. With Premium your seconds are also safe in the cloud. Blits Premium comes monthly or yearly and renews automatically until you cancel in your Apple account settings. You see the price in the app. You can also remove just the watermark and end card for one film, as a one-time purchase per film. Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ and privacy: https://blits.video/privacy Blits is made for people who would rather live than film. One tap, then look up.
