Why Lapser

Progress is hard to notice while it is happening.

See how it works

Day to day, change can feel invisible. Lapser gives every small step a place in the larger picture by helping you shoot from a consistent position, attach context to each photo, and compile the result into something worth sharing.

1

More than a selfie tracker

Use separate projects for a face, physique, child, garden, renovation, art project, or anything else that evolves over time.

2

Context stays with the image

Add weight, measurements, milestones, or notes so the final video can show more than appearance alone.

3

A finished result, not a camera roll

Export professional videos with music and data overlays when you are ready to see the full journey.

Built for consistency

Everything you need to keep the frame—and the habit.

Simple capture guidance removes the friction from taking repeatable photos over weeks, months, or years.

Automatic on-device alignment

Alignment adapts to what you're shooting instead of running one generic mode for everything, with a ghost overlay and manual controls available on every shot.

Data and milestones

Attach weight, measurements, or meaningful moments to individual photos in a project.

Flexible video exports

Choose frame rate, resolution, dates, music, milestones, and custom data overlays, then create a shareable timelapse or before-and-after image.

Optional personal cloud backup

Android projects can back up to your Google Drive and iPhone projects to your iCloud. Backups live in your personal cloud account, not on Downgate Labs servers.

Import an existing timeline

Add earlier photos, correct the date each image was taken, and let the timeline reorder itself. Premium adds batch import for larger archives.

Reminders that fit the project

Set a capture schedule for each timeline and keep the habit moving without turning the app into a social feed.

How it works

Start today. Let time do the rest.

01

Create a project

Name what you want to track and keep each kind of progress organized in its own timeline.

02

Capture consistent photos

Use alignment tools and the ghost overlay to recreate the framing from your previous shot.

03

Export your story

Choose your photos, music, and overlays, then compile the project into a shareable video.

Made for change

One format. Countless stories.

Lapser works whenever the most interesting part of a story is what happens between the first image and the last.

Fitness

Body transformation

Pair consistent progress photos with measurements or weight data to see work that a daily mirror can hide.

Life

Faces, family, and growth

Document a changing face, a child's growth, a beard, pregnancy, recovery, or another personal chapter over time.

Projects

Renovations and making

Turn a room makeover, garden, artwork, or long build into a compact visual record from start to finish.

Nature

Plants and landscapes

Keep a flower, garden bed, seasonal view, or landscape framed steadily as it develops across weeks or months.

Objects

Collections and slow changes

Track anything from restoration work to a creative build with an alignment mode designed for objects.

History

Bring old photos into order

Import and backdate an existing set so the finished story includes the part that happened before you installed Lapser.

See it in action

From daily capture to finished timelapse.

Take a quick look at how Lapser keeps projects organized and transforms a series of photos into a visual story.

Private by default

The photos stay on your phone—even while Lapser aligns them.

Core projects work offline — alignment, transforms, edits, and video creation all happen on your device. Your photos are never uploaded to us, and we don't use them to train models.

No account required

Use the free app and local Premium features without ever creating an account.

On-device processing

Alignment and edits run locally on your phone, not on a server.

Backup stays yours

Premium backup writes straight to your own Google Drive or iCloud Drive. We never see or store those files.

Questions, answered

Lapser FAQ

The essentials to know before starting your first project.

What can I make a timelapse of?

Almost anything that changes over time. Common projects include fitness and weight-loss progress, faces, beard growth, children growing up, renovations, gardens, and creative work.

How does Lapser keep photos aligned?

Automatic alignment runs on your device after capture and is tuned for face, body, plant, object, landscape, or other projects. You can also use the ghost overlay while shooting and adjust alignment manually.

Can I include weight or measurements?

Yes. You can attach weight, measurements, or milestones to photos and include data overlays in your exported video.

What is included in the free version?

Free includes one project, your first 10 automatic alignments as a one-time sample, unlimited ghost and manual alignment, reminders, editable dates, and 480p video export with a watermark.

What does Premium add?

Premium adds unlimited projects and automatic alignment, 1080p watermark-free export, editing, before/after comparisons, music, personal-cloud backup, batch import, custom data overlays, and timeline milestones.

Is Premium only a subscription?

No. You can buy it monthly, annually, or with a one-time lifetime purchase. Current prices are shown by Google Play or the App Store.

Can I import older photos?

Yes. You can import and backdate individual photos, and Premium adds batch import. Correcting a photo's date automatically reorders the timeline.

Where are my photos stored?

Photos and project data are stored privately on your device. Optional Premium backups go to your personal Google Drive on Android or iCloud Drive on Apple devices; Downgate Labs does not store or access those files.

Can I restore an Android backup on iPhone?

No. Google Drive and iCloud Drive are separate backup systems, so cross-platform restore is not currently available.

Does Lapser have ads?

No. Lapser is ad-free for both free and premium users.

Is Lapser available on Android and iPhone?

Yes. Lapser is available through Google Play and through the App Store for iPhone. The Apple version requires iOS 15.5 or newer.
