The stop-motion app that shoots by itself the moment your hands leave the frame. Free, no subscription, no ads, no account, no internet. FrameFold turns a video of your working process into a stop-motion — automatically, and entirely on your iPhone or iPad. The app finds the calm moments in your footage, drops every frame with your hands in it, compensates for shake and assembles the result. Nothing leaves your device: no cloud, no account, no tracking. AUTOMATIC CAMERA Phone on a tripod, then work — FrameFold fires by itself as soon as your hands leave the frame and the scene settles. Exposure and white balance are locked, and the shutter speed snaps to the mains frequency so artificial light can't streak your frames. With onion skin, drift check, an interval trigger and a spirit level. SHARP, OR NOT AT ALL The app measures image sharpness continuously and only locks focus once it has actually settled. If sharpness drops later, it refocuses on its own. A frame that isn't sharp never makes it into the work. On a tripod focus stays locked; handheld it keeps tracking — the motion sensor decides which applies. APPLE WATCH AS A REMOTE Fire and finish from your wrist, with the frame count and status on the watch face. Nobody has to touch the tripod. The volume buttons on headphones and AirPods fire too, and holding the shutter starts a countdown. STUDIO ON IPAD From Advanced mode the iPad becomes a pro workspace: timeline, toggle between live view and captured frames, multi-frame onion skin, aspect masks, loupe, multiple audio tracks with waveform, voice recording while the film plays and an X-sheet with mouth shapes. EDIT AND SCORE Duplicate a frame to hold a pose longer, drag frames into a new order, export at up to 24 fps — and lay music or sound from your files under the film. THE FILM GROWS AS YOU WORK While you work, the stop-motion is already playing as a loop — in the viewfinder and on the studio monitor next to the camera feed. FLIP BOOK Every work becomes a print-ready flip book: A4 sheets with cut lines, a binding edge and numbered leaves. Cut, staple, flip — the film becomes an object again. STUDIO MONITOR Connect a screen or projector and it shows the camera feed alone, with a catalogue line — no controls. For classes and studio visits: everyone watches, the phone stays untouched on the tripod. VIDEO TO STOP-MOTION Pick an existing video, the calm moments get found, hands removed, duplicates sorted out. You check every frame on the contact sheet before it's assembled. THREE MODES Simple (pick, shoot, done — made for teaching), Advanced (aspect, frame rate, resolution, playback) and a studio mode with paper relief, image echo, print look, fold transitions, an exhibition reel and print-ready contact-sheet and fold-template PDFs. WORKS, NOT FILES Projects collect frames across any number of sessions, with a 30-day trash. The result arrives like an edition: "Sheets 01–24 · Series of 24 · dated 2026". Built as a bespoke tool for the artist Aldo Tolino, whose work folds printed photographs into objects and photographs them again — image, object, image.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FrameFold at none against Stop Motion Creator's 3. FrameFold also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
