POVLOG
Read full descriptionHide full description
Just film — and by morning, your day is one video. POVLOG turns the 5-second moments you capture during the day into MY VLOG automatically at 8:00 the next morning. No timeline editing, music picking, or captions to place. ▦ DAYLINE & ROOM Your clips line up by time. ROOM clips are shared only with the friends you choose. To see friends' new clips, first post at the pace you chose: daily, weekly, or monthly. Pro can view without this post-to-see step. ▦ POVLOG DUO Film 5 seconds and send it to a friend in your ROOM. When they answer with 5 seconds within 60 minutes, it becomes a 10-second film split top and bottom, in the ROOM and both DAYLINEs. Invite friends who don't have the app yet by link or QR. Friends invited by link can reply until 24:00 that day. ▦ REPLAY Scrub back through your clips on a single timeline. Turn it with a finger, or let it play on its own. Add videos from your camera roll too — they stay on your device and are never uploaded. Tap Add to today to turn 5 seconds of any past video into today's clip — marked ↺ with its original date, in the finished film too (free: 1 a day, Pro: unlimited). ▦ OUR VLOG Last week with your ROOM friends arrives every Monday at 8:00 as one film per person. A living collage of cut-out subjects opens one by one into the real moment. ▦ Album & Widget Your page, with the days you filmed laid out week by week. Friends you film with can see it; anything older than 14 days is for people you hand a key to. The home screen widget shows today's clips and this day in the past. Highlights: · Capture up to 12 short clips a day. · Your clip plays back right after you film it. · MY VLOG is made automatically, with your real sound preserved under gentle music. · Add a one-line caption and decorate your own clips. · Free accounts can revisit the latest 14 days of POVLOG history. · POVLOG Pro unlocks your full POVLOG history and bypasses post-to-see. MY VLOG is not deleted on a five-day timer. Free storage is still subject to the in-app capacity limit; access to history depends on your plan. ――― Auto-renewable subscription - POVLOG Pro is a ¥980/month auto-renewing subscription. - Payment is charged to your Apple ID and renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. - Manage or cancel anytime in iOS Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. - Terms: https://vault-tec.jp/povlog/terms/ - Privacy Policy: https://vault-tec.jp/povlog/policy

■ Vidot A vlog and video journal app for keeping short videos — just for yourself. It's not a social network, and it's not an editing app. No posing, no polishing. Every video you capture is automatically tagged with its date and time and lined up on your timeline. One tap turns them into a single vlog. That's "your own vlog." With Collections, you can group moments by theme — a trip, your kids growing up — and look back from any angle you like. ■ All you do Press the shutter and capture the moment. ■ Features ・Casually collect small pieces of your day, without overthinking it ・Shoot square, portrait, or landscape. Turn your phone sideways and it switches to landscape automatically ・Add the time and a caption to your videos — choose the font, text size, and shadow strength ・Look back day by day with smooth, seamless playback ・Collections: group clips by theme and play them back to back, with search and pinning ・See the days you recorded at a glance in the calendar's month and year views, and play a whole month back to back ・Switch the timeline layout and sort order to suit you ・Export vlogs with the time and captions included ・Gentle reminder notifications to help you capture ・A quiet, minimal design that lets your videos stand out (dark by default, with light mode) ・Available in English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese ■ Privacy first, local first No account, no sign-in. Your videos and captions are never sent to any server — everything stays on your iPhone. Your clips are included in your device backup (iCloud), so they're safe when you switch phones. ■ Vidot Premium (optional) Keep your favorite moments, more freely. ・Unlimited clips per day (the free plan allows up to 8 per day) ・Add from Library: add past photos and videos from your photo library at any date and time you like ・Edit Date & Time: change the date and time of clips you've already recorded Choose a monthly plan or a one-time purchase. Vidot is fully enjoyable for free, too. Today's moment becomes your year. Why not start with today's "dot"? 【Terms of Use (EULA)】 https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
