The same day, seen by two. You head out to work; I stay home. The hour you spent laughing with friends; the lunch I ate alone. The days we were together, and the days we were apart. Inside every day there are three seconds the other person never sees. PairReel is a couple vlog app. Each of you saves three-second videos through the day, and the two of you look back on your everyday life as a single vlog. A little more alive than a photo. Far easier than a diary. ◆ Four things you can do with PairReel ① Film: three seconds, once an hour Open the app, press the shutter, and recording ends on its own after three seconds. You can keep one three-second clip per hour, up to 24 a day. Getting ready in the morning, your lunch break, the walk home, the quiet hour before bed. You never have to pick just one moment to stand for the whole day. The "Today" screen lays out the hours from midnight until now. If the current hour is empty, tap it to go straight to filming. Hours you have already filled show your three seconds and your partner's. It doesn't have to be a special occasion. What you ate today, the walk home, resting at home, your partner laughing. No editing, nothing to write. Just three seconds, exactly as they were. ② Watch it from both sides Your three seconds, and your partner's. When you both film within the same hour, the two videos play at the same time, one above the other. "So that's what you were up to right then." "I was right over here at that very hour." The same day, from each of your points of view. Hours your partner hasn't filmed yet keep your three seconds on their own, so you can start on your own too. ③ Count: the days since your anniversary, always in view Set the day the two of you call the beginning, and every three seconds you keep carries "In love for ○ days" along with it. 100 days. 1,000 days. 10,000 days. You never have to work out what day you're on: it's there every time you film. ・Each daily clip shows the count as it stood that day ・Monthly look-backs show "In love for ○ months" ・Yearly look-backs show "In love for ○ years" Older vlogs show the day they were, not the day it is now, so you can look back and see what day a year ago today was for the two of you. You can change the date whenever you like, and choose whether day one is the day itself. ④ Look back on a month, on a year Your three seconds gather in the calendar, a little at a time. Tap a date to play everything you filmed that day. Put a month together and it becomes "Us in July." Put a year together and it becomes "Us in 2026." Play it with music, and days that felt like nothing at all turn into a vlog that is yours alone. Look-back vlogs can be exported as video to save and share. ◆ Made for two people who ・want to keep ordinary days, not only the special ones ・have plenty of photos but hardly ever look at them ・want to know a little about each other's hours apart ・count the days since you got together, or since the wedding ・want the day count and the day itself kept in one place ・never managed to keep a diary, but could manage three seconds ・want to look back a year from now and say "this is how we lived" ◆ Main features ・One three-second video per hour, up to 24 a day ・Film straight from today's timeline ・Both of your clips from the same hour, playing at once ・"In love for ○ days" shown on your vlog ・"In love for ○ months" and "○ years" on look-backs ・A calendar of every day you filmed ・Monthly and yearly look-back vlogs ・Play your vlog with background music ・Export and share look-back vlogs ・A reminder to film ・No ads These three seconds can only be filmed now. Why not keep your ordinary days together in PairReel? 【Terms of Use】 https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
