TimeLapsed - Time Lapse Camera2.0 - App Store

Time. Under your control.

Turn passing clouds, a city after dark, aircraft and traffic into motion you can shape. TimeLapsed brings a professional timelapse camera, programmable capture and a powerful frame-blending engine to iPhone and iPad. Start with a profile. Go deeper when the shot demands it.

SEE THE TRAILS BUILD
Create star trails, rolling trails and comet tails in the live camera preview. Tune trail length, blending, glow and color while you shoot. Use Horizon Mask to keep sky trails off the foreground and Anchor Lock to help correct mounted-camera bumps.

CONTROL EVERY DETAIL
Set shutter, ISO, focus, white balance, interval and zoom. Keep recording time, exposure and device status visible in the HUD. Save camera profiles and use position recall to guide your framing back to a saved reference. Updated for iOS 27, with aperture controls on supported iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max lenses and Camera Control integration on supported iPhones.

PROGRAM HOW THE SHOT EVOLVES
Build camera automations with timed changes and smooth ramps for exposure, interval, color and trail effects. Rehearse your timeline before recording. Scheduled capture requires the camera to stay open in the foreground.

CAPTURE NOW. BLEND LATER.
Save an effects-free companion movie alongside your processed capture. Open a video in the editor, preview and tune a new blend, then render star trails or comet effects with the same engine. Import still-image sequences from other cameras through Photos or Files and turn them into timelapses.

MAKE EVERY TAKE COUNT
Pause and resume video recording, flip or mirror the camera, split clips and build a trip into a film. Edit speed, framing, color, titles and audio. Shoot and edit widescreen 16:9 as well as portrait video. Mark Moments to keep the right part of a recording, and save still frames from videos.

CREATE IN REAL LIFE
Place a framed, translucent reference image over the live camera view while you draw on real paper. Record the artwork taking shape. Explore tilt shift, simulated night vision and simulated thermal effects.

KNOW WHERE. KNOW WHEN.
Plan with the Sun, Moon and stars in Sky Planner. Find Dark Hours, explore light-pollution maps and Bortle panels, and get directions toward darker skies. Check weather radar and forecast-based rain alerts during your shoot. Air Traffic Watch adds aircraft data and predicted paths using your own flight-provider keys.

BUILD YOUR CAMERA SETUP
Preview and control capture from Apple Watch or another TimeLapsed device. Remote control also supports compatible Canon cameras. Connect supported external displays, USB-C microphones, Power Delivery hubs and external storage for a mounted recording setup.

YOUR TIME. YOUR PROGRESS.
Review capture history with exposure, white balance, weather, battery, CPU, memory and thermal-state statistics. Keep personal records or join the optional leaderboard. Discover and share videos, images, camera profiles and automations in the Community. Add music from the integrated catalog. Analyze Scene offers optional AI camera recommendations for you to review and apply.

START FREE. GO FURTHER WITH PRO.
The core camera, built-in profiles and watermarked 1080p exports are free. Advanced workflows, clean exports and additional planning tools require Pro. Watch preview and record controls are free; advanced Watch controls require Pro. Existing full-version owners keep lifetime Pro through Restore Purchases.

Features depend on compatible hardware, accessories and service availability. Aircraft providers may charge for your own keys. Production Display has a separate license. Companion video is effects-free video, not sensor RAW. Thermal and night-vision effects are simulated.

See the full changeling in the app. 1.0.4 04/19/2024 Timelapse Camera Video Processing

- Added a Split Video option to the Timelapse Camera - settings may be found under the Timelapse Camera settings > Video Settings
- Splits the timelapse into multiple videos to prevent losing the entire timelapse if the app crashes or the phone runs out of space
- You define the size of the video to split (default is 512 Megabytes) and the camera engine will split the timelapse into chunks and save multiple videos inside the same timelapse project.
- Optionally pause the timelapse while splititng a video. This feature is for splitting large videos during small (1 sec or less) intervals. The frame queue will start to collect frames while splitting is occurring and the app may incur a large amount of memory usage during this time. Pause the timelapse during split to reduce the possibility of this occuring.
Timelapse Camera

- Added feature to toggle rotation on / off under Camera Display Settings in the Camera menus. This feature will lock in your orientation once you start timelapsing and the camera will not rotate giving you the ability to control the video output orientation. Previously this was not an option and the camera would rotate while timelapsing. You can control this setting now. Camera Rotation is now disabled during timelapse by default.
- Fixed Live Filter Mode - now this is the default mode unless you are in Art Profile which gives you live mode.
- Added action sdialog prompt to delete timelapse from the post timelapse menu instead of just deleting it. After deleting, the camera will close.

Timelapse Camera UI

- Fixed overlay on Frame Blending for smaller screen sizes to not clip the text
- Added new menu for Camera Preview Mode - allows you to change from Filtered to Unfiltered Mode and turn off the latest captured display for live view while time lapsing.
My Stats are now called "Stats" and stored in your database

- Makes loading the view much faster
- Calculates and stores your stats over time, allowing you to remove Timelapses and Media Files and not lose the stats for them.
Allows you to reset the stats - will recalculate based on the current app status - so if you delete something and recalculate, you’ll lose older stats.
- Automatically calculate stats when timelapse is completed.

Added Quick Launch Screen to Home Screen

- Allows you to pick which profiles you want to show on the quick launch screen and organize them
- Allows you to delete or edit your profiles from the edit profile menu in the list.
- Allows you to change the colors of the quick launch tab, background, button icons, and text.
- Allows you to add a background image from your camera roll for the Quick Launch background. Position, Scale, and Transparency can be adjusted.

UI Updates

- New Home Screen and new Camera button on the bottom bar.
- Removed top logo / camera button to optimize space.
