Lapsely turns your photos into cinematic timelapses, stop-motion clips, and selfie films — right on your iPhone, with no account and no subscription. Capture a scene over minutes or your own face over months, then shape it into a film you'll want to share. CAPTURE • Three modes: timelapse (auto-shutter), stop-motion (hand-shoot each frame), and selfie-a-day • Framing grid, self-timer, exposure lock, flash, and manual controls • An onion-skin "ghost" of your last shot on the live camera, so every frame lines up • Capture reminders and a streak calendar to keep a selfie series going STUDIO EDITOR • Set the frame rate, or let Auto match it to your photo count • Color grade with brightness, contrast, and saturation • Deflicker to smooth exposure jumps between shots • Ken Burns pan & zoom, plus fade and dissolve transitions • Green-screen chroma key, text overlays, and date / milestone stamps • Per-frame crop, filters, and adjustments; star your favorites and trim the range SELFIE FILMS • Automatic face alignment stabilizes your head across every frame • Smooth "morph" playback blends one day into the next • Before / after — side-by-side, or a dissolve between any two days SOUND • Import music from Files, or record a voiceover right in the app • Per-track volume, fades, trim, loop, and auto-duck under voiceover EXPORT & SHARE • MP4 (H.264, HEVC, or ProRes) or an animated GIF • Up to 4K, with simple quality presets • Keeps rendering when you leave the app • Share anywhere, or save straight to Photos • Optional iCloud sync keeps your exports on all your devices PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything runs on-device — no servers, no analytics, no tracking • No account, no ads, no subscription — a single one-time purchase Start with a sunrise, a construction site, a plant on the windowsill, or your own face.
