AuraLens is a passive lifelogging camera app that quietly captures the moments that usually slip by.
Set your capture quality - up to 12mp, choose an interval, pick a lens and start logging life. AuraLens saves still images over time, building a visual record of your day that you can return to later in a clean, fast timeline.
It's designed for real life, walks, family time, travel, creative outings, events and everything in between. Whether you want a personal archive, a memory aid or a passive way to document your day without constantly reaching for your camera, AuraLens makes it simple.
Your sessions are saved locally on your iPhone, with optional manual backup for extra peace of mind. When you are finished, you can browse sessions in Library, scrub through moments quickly, favourite the images you want to keep and explore Highlights selected from your strongest shots. AuraLens can now also save location points during a session, letting you see where your memories happened on a private map. View sessions by place, follow a photo trail from a walk or day out and jump from a captured image straight to its saved map location.
