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.
A daily photo habit becomes a smooth timelapse worth watching. Automatic, on-device alignment keeps faces, bodies, plants, objects, and landscapes steady from frame to frame.

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.
Use separate projects for a face, physique, child, garden, renovation, art project, or anything else that evolves over time.
Add weight, measurements, milestones, or notes so the final video can show more than appearance alone.
Export professional videos with music and data overlays when you are ready to see the full journey.
Built for consistency
Simple capture guidance removes the friction from taking repeatable photos over weeks, months, or years.
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.
Attach weight, measurements, or meaningful moments to individual photos in a project.
Choose frame rate, resolution, dates, music, milestones, and custom data overlays, then create a shareable timelapse or before-and-after image.
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.
Add earlier photos, correct the date each image was taken, and let the timeline reorder itself. Premium adds batch import for larger archives.
Set a capture schedule for each timeline and keep the habit moving without turning the app into a social feed.
How it works
Name what you want to track and keep each kind of progress organized in its own timeline.
Use alignment tools and the ghost overlay to recreate the framing from your previous shot.
Choose your photos, music, and overlays, then compile the project into a shareable video.
Made for change
Lapser works whenever the most interesting part of a story is what happens between the first image and the last.
Pair consistent progress photos with measurements or weight data to see work that a daily mirror can hide.
Document a changing face, a child's growth, a beard, pregnancy, recovery, or another personal chapter over time.
Turn a room makeover, garden, artwork, or long build into a compact visual record from start to finish.
Keep a flower, garden bed, seasonal view, or landscape framed steadily as it develops across weeks or months.
Track anything from restoration work to a creative build with an alignment mode designed for objects.
Import and backdate an existing set so the finished story includes the part that happened before you installed Lapser.

See it in action
Take a quick look at how Lapser keeps projects organized and transforms a series of photos into a visual story.
Private by default
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.
Use the free app and local Premium features without ever creating an account.
Alignment and edits run locally on your phone, not on a server.
Premium backup writes straight to your own Google Drive or iCloud Drive. We never see or store those files.
