Latent is a focus camera. Press record and it films an effortless timelapse of you doing your work, studying, building, practicing, then condenses it to about ten seconds. Tag the session, and it becomes a number. The number becomes a streak. The streak becomes a body of evidence that you showed up, again and again, when nobody made you. Most of what you do is invisible. The hours at the desk, the reps no one counts. And what's invisible starts to feel like it doesn't count. Latent makes your effort visible, first to the one person who has to believe it: you. THE FOCUS CAMERA - Press record and get to work. Latent films a battery- and storage-friendly timelapse of you while the app is open. Leave the app and the recording pauses. - Stopwatch, goal timer, or full Pomodoro with focus/break rounds. - Camera-off mode turns Latent into a pure focus timer. No camera, just the clock. - Every session ends with a duration you can see and a clip you can keep. PROOF YOU CAN SEE - Streaks, bar charts, and a heatmap of when you actually did the work. - A shareable sticker and video export for every session. WITNESSED EFFORT - Add friends who keep you honest. See their streaks and their comebacks. - A home feed of effort from people who matter. - Kudos, comments, and nudges for when a friend hasn't logged that day. Your sessions stay private to you until you choose to share them. Your becoming is already happening. Latent just lets you see it.
