TimeCam is a professional time-lapse camera that lets you fast-forward time with your iPhone. 【Capture modes】 · Manual shot: tap to capture a single frame anytime. · Interval: set a fixed interval (seconds/minutes/hours) for automatic continuous shooting. · Daily schedule: auto-start at a chosen time each day — perfect for sunrises, clouds, and starry skies. 【Steady results】 · Reference overlay: pin the previous frame on screen to keep your camera position fixed and every frame aligned. · Feature-point alignment + auto crop: automatically corrects shake for smoother playback. 【Pro controls】 · Switch front/back cameras, ultra-wide / wide / telephoto lenses, and pinch-to-zoom. · Manual exposure with adjustable shutter and ISO, plus AE / AF / white-balance lock. 【Compose & export】 · Choose 24 / 30 / 60 fps and add a timestamp. · Import existing photos from your library, resume unfinished sessions. · Batch delete, preview, and save straight to your photo album. All photos and videos are processed on-device — TimeCam never uploads your footage. The app collects only anonymous crash and usage data to improve the product, and you can turn it off in Settings.
