You change every day, but you only notice when looking back. Era helps you see those changes – the subtle shifts that happen day by day, month by month, year by year. Take a daily selfie and Era creates timelapse videos from your collection. Whether you're tracking a transformation, documenting a journey, or simply curious about how time shapes your face, the app makes it effortless. Face detection handles alignment automatically. No guides, no poses, no trying to match yesterday's angle. Just take your photo. The app detects your face and aligns everything when you create a video. Choose how you want time to flow in your videos. Constant mode gives equal time to each photo—perfect for smooth, even timelapses. Dynamic mode adjusts frame duration based on the actual time between photos, so a week looks longer than a day. Set a daily reminder for whenever works for you.

What's included: • Face detection with visual feedback • Automatic alignment using eye tracking • Timelapse video generation with multiple frame rate modes • Daily reminders at your preferred time • Photo gallery organized by month • Front and rear camera support • Flash control for tricky lighting • Light and dark themes • Export videos to your camera roll Everything stays on your device.

Life Sunset

Our days are finite. In the rush of life, we forget that. Sunset puts your remaining days on your home screen - a quiet reminder to live with intention. HOW IT WORKS • Set your expected life's final sunset. • Choose how you want to see your remaining time - days, sunsets, or percentage of life lived etc. • Add the widget to your home screen • Live with that number in view No accounts. No notifications. No tracking. Just a number that changes every day. Built on the idea that awareness of mortality isn't morbid, it's clarifying. When you see your number, the trivial falls away and what matters comes into focus. "That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet." — Emily Dickinson
