About

Snapper

Read full description

Your best shot. On repeat. Snapper is a simple interval camera that gives you time to get into the picture. Set your phone down, choose a countdown, and take a series of photos without returning to the shutter after every shot. MAKE ROOM FOR THE MOMENT Choose a 5-, 10-, or 15-second countdown between captures. Take 5, 10, or 20 photos, or keep going until you tap Stop. A CLEAR VIEW Use the front or rear camera. Expand the preview when you want more room to frame your photo, then return to the compact view to adjust your settings. YOUR PHOTOS, YOUR CHOICE Save each picture directly to Photos, or turn saving off. Optional screen flashes and haptics help you follow the session. SIMPLE BY DESIGN No account, ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases in version 1.0. Snapper does not upload your photos. Capture sessions work without an internet connection. Keep Snapper open during a session. Switching apps or locking your phone pauses automatic captures. Each countdown begins after the previous capture finishes; timing and image quality depend on your phone and conditions.
