POVLOG: Group vlog Camera
5s clips, a film by morning
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Just film — by 8:00 your day is one video. POVLOG DUO: send 5 seconds, a friend answers with 5 within 60 minutes, and it's one 10-second film by two of you.
Just film — and by morning, your day is one video.
POVLOG turns the 5-second moments you capture during the day into MY VLOG automatically at 8:00 the next morning. No timeline editing, music picking, or captions to place.
▦ DAYLINE & ROOM
Your clips line up by time. ROOM clips are shared only with the friends you choose. To see friends' new clips, first post at the pace you chose: daily, weekly, or monthly. Pro can view without this post-to-see step.
▦ POVLOG DUO
Film 5 seconds and send it to a friend in your ROOM. When they answer with 5 seconds within 60 minutes, it becomes a 10-second film split top and bottom, in the ROOM and both DAYLINEs. Invite friends who don't have the app yet by link or QR. Friends invited by link can reply until 24:00 that day.
▦ REPLAY
Scrub back through your clips on a single timeline. Turn it with a finger, or let it play on its own. Add videos from your camera roll too — they stay on your device and are never uploaded. Tap Add to today to turn 5 seconds of any past video into today's clip — marked ↺ with its original date, in the finished film too (free: 1 a day, Pro: unlimited).
▦ OUR VLOG
Last week with your ROOM friends arrives every Monday at 8:00 as one film per person. A living collage of cut-out subjects opens one by one into the real moment.
▦ Album & Widget
Your page, with the days you filmed laid out week by week. Friends you film with can see it; anything older than 14 days is for people you hand a key to. The home screen widget shows today's clips and this day in the past.
Highlights:
· Capture up to 12 short clips a day.
· Your clip plays back right after you film it.
· MY VLOG is made automatically, with your real sound preserved under gentle music.
· Add a one-line caption and decorate your own clips.
· Free accounts can revisit the latest 14 days of POVLOG history.
· POVLOG Pro unlocks your full POVLOG history and bypasses post-to-see.
MY VLOG is not deleted on a five-day timer. Free storage is still subject to the in-app capacity limit; access to history depends on your plan.

more POVLOG 1.3.5 lets you start on your own right away, with refreshed motion and visuals.
• Start with 5 seconds on your own: your clip plays back right after you film it. DUO with friends is there whenever you want it
• Your morning MY VLOG arrives as a ticket you tear open along the perforation
• Each clip you film slides into the "left" counter, and the number advances by one
• The selected tab gets a viewfinder frame. After 18:00 with no clips today, the camera button pulses three times
• Tap a time slot on the Home time bar to jump to clips from that time
• Your album gets streak stamps at 3, 7, 14 days and more
• Camera icons show their names for a moment when the camera opens. Filming with front and back cameras at once is now called "Both"
• One place to enter invite codes, on the ROOM tab. Album "passes" are now "keys"
• For your first three days, adding a note after filming is a small button instead of a sheet
• New heading typeface and new loading and developing indicators
• Unused screens removed, plus minor bug fixes

1.3.5 Sep 30
POVLOG 1.3.4 lets first-time users start from an invite link in 5 seconds, and adds iOS 27 support.
• Start from a friend's 5 seconds: open an invite link, watch your friend's top-half 5 seconds, then film your bottom-half 5 seconds right there. After replying, you land in the ROOM you joined
• Invite ready on the spot: right after filming, the link is created and the share sheet opens. Friends invited by link can reply until 24:00 that day (DUO to ROOM friends stays at 60 minutes)
• Installed from an invite link? The invite is restored on first launch (only POVLOG invite URLs are read)
• New users start with three tabs: Home, Camera and Album. ROOM and REPLAY open when a friend joins or your first MY VLOG is ready
• Notification prompts now appear only twice: right after sending, and when MY VLOG is ready
• Home guide redone as "your 5 seconds → a reply makes a DUO → MY VLOG next morning". Home tidied up: the PUBLIC GALLERY and 24H RELAY entry points are gone. POVLOG PACK opens manually after 7 finished films
• Exports keep going when you leave the app: while a film is made on your device, it continues after you go to the Home Screen or lock the phone. Start with "Continue outside the app" on the MY VLOG progress card; if it pauses, tap "Resume export"
• iOS 27 support. Requires iOS 16.4 or later
• A DUO that became a normal clip after no reply now keeps the Dual window at the bottom right, same as solo filming (for new clips)
• Minor bug fixes and stability improvements
Thank you for using POVLOG. Tell us anytime what to improve.
1.3.4 Sep 18
POVLOG 1.3.3 lines up the map and the Dual window so nothing is cut off in full screen, and brings decor to POVLOG DUO.
• Nothing cut off in full screen: on the capture screen, in clips and in finished films, the map and the Dual window sit at the same spot inside the visible area (4% from the sides, 10% from the bottom). What you saw while filming is saved and carried into playback and the finished film (for new clips)
• Decor on DUO: pen, text, stickers and photos now work on DUO too. The sender edits the top half, the replier the bottom half
• One set of clip actions: Decor, Caption and Share now line up under the trash icon
• Steadier DUO sending: sending and edits retry on their own on a weak connection. A DUO is sent only when you tap Send DUO
• Fixed valid videos being rejected as "can't send"
• Fixed the logo (bottom left) and date (bottom right) of finished films being cut off on tall screens (for films made from now on)
• Fixed clips filmed between 0:00 and 6:00 showing under Night on the time bar; they now count as Morning
• Fixed the Dual window staying at its old position after switching from DUO to solo filming
• A DUO that becomes a normal clip after no reply keeps its decor and background effects
• Minor bug fixes and stability improvements
Thank you for using POVLOG. Tell us anytime what to improve.
1.3.3 Sep 15
POVLOG 1.3.2 adds POVLOG DUO: one film, made by two of you.
• POVLOG DUO: film 5 seconds and send it to a friend in your ROOM. When they answer with their own 5 seconds within 60 minutes, it becomes a 10-second film split top and bottom, posted to the ROOM and to both DAYLINEs. If no one answers, your 5 seconds stays as a normal clip for that day
• Capture screen: the top buttons are now DUO / DUAL / Flip / MAP / Ghost. Filming in a ROOM starts in DUO; turn DUO off to film on your own
• Invite friends: pick a ROOM, film a DUO, and send it by link or QR. Friends without the app can join from the link and answer. When your first DUO with an invited friend completes, you both get 1 extra credit
• REPLAY DUO: use 5 seconds from a past video as the top half
• Album per ROOM: MY VLOGs filmed the same day in different ROOMs no longer mix. 24H RELAY now starts from your album
• DAYLINE scrolls slowly on its own
• Fixed OUR VLOG cut-outs turning black and OUR VLOG failing to generate
• Fixed videos not being added from TODAY and REPLAY, and recordings missing their audio
• Corrected purchase error messages and fixed Pro ending before its expiry date
• Minor bug fixes and stability improvements
Thank you for using POVLOG. Tell us anytime what to improve.
1.3.2 Sep 15
POVLOG 1.3.1: one clip arrives in REPLAY every day, and you can answer a past video with "now".
• POVLOG PACK: open REPLAY and one clip from your camera roll arrives each day. Trace the perforation to open it — 5 seconds from this day years ago, the same season, or a month you haven't seen in a while. Add it to today right from the card
• Wipe on Add to today: put your camera (front or back) in the corner of a past 5 seconds and add it to today's DAYLINE. The past audio and your voice are both kept. Toggle with the icon top-right; tap the window to switch cameras
• Today's camera roll on Home: add the first 5 seconds of videos you filmed today to today's clips (free, up to 12 a day)
• A friend's 5 seconds in your film: clips from ROOM friends are in your MY VLOG from the start (tap the heart to leave them out). Notifications say so too
• MEMORY: past videos that resemble today's clips are suggested, found on your device
• Faster REPLAY: posters are prepared on your device and iCloud videos are fetched at medium quality. Fixed camera roll videos not playing
• If you declined camera, photos or notifications once, they work as soon as you return from Settings
• When an update is already downloaded, restart in place to apply it
• Fixed a frame preview crash and plan loading on Android
• Smaller fixes and stability improvements
Thank you for using POVLOG. Tell us anything you'd like improved.
1.3.1 Sep 7
POVLOG 1.3.0 brings a new home screen, a way to look back, and one film with friends.
• Home is now five tabs: Home / ROOM / Camera / REPLAY / Album
• REPLAY: scrub back through your clips on a single timeline. Turn it with a finger, or let it play on its own. You can add videos from your camera roll too (they stay on your device and are never uploaded)
• REPLAY → Add to today: put 5 seconds of any past video into today's DAYLINE. It keeps a ↺ mark and the original date, in the finished film too (free: 1 a day, Pro: unlimited)
• On a day with no clips yet, Home shows the date and a button for today's first clip
• OUR VLOG: last week with your ROOM friends arrives every Monday at 8:00 as one film per person. A living collage of cut-out subjects opens one by one into the real moment
• Album: your page, with the days you filmed laid out week by week. Friends you film with can see it. Anything older than 14 days is for people you hand a pass to (Pro sees everything)
• ROOM tab: invite by QR, link, or friend list; rename; leave
• Home screen widget: today's clips and this day in the past
• Clips and MY VLOG no longer expire by days. Free keeps up to 5GB; beyond that, the oldest material is cleared first
• Friends' new clips appear after you post at the pace you chose (daily/weekly/monthly). Pro sees them without posting
• Add a one-line caption right after filming
• Dual (front and back cameras at once) is on by default — turn it off at the top right
• A new video engine: finished videos can now be rendered on your device, so Keep, ROOM, and 24H RELAY finish faster (some devices and effects still use the previous method)
• Get notified when a friend films. Send your ROOM join link right after sharing a video
• Buying credits now automatically resumes your Keep
• Minor fixes and stability improvements
Thank you for using POVLOG.
We keep improving — tell us what you'd like anytime.
1.3.0 Sep 2
POVLOG 1.2.2 is a big update to filming and to your morning MY VLOG.
• Your MY VLOG now opens with a 5-second grid of the day's clips in 12 panels (13 or more clips: 4 each from morning, day, and night). You can save just the grid to post on social
• Dual: film with the front and back cameras at once, with your face in a small window at the bottom right (supported devices; icon at the top of the capture screen)
• Ghost: the end of your last clip is faintly overlaid, so lining up the next shot turns your day into one continuous cut (turn off with the ghost icon at the top right)
• 0.5x ultra-wide and stronger stabilization. The film picker is gone from the capture screen so you can focus on shooting
• Start filming in one move: long-press the home icon, the Action button, or Siri opens the camera directly
• Reduced wind noise on iPhone (iOS 18 and later)
• After your first clip, a 4-step guide shows how home works. Existing users see the new tutorial once
• Saving a scene is now a two-way choice — Grid or Full — with download progress shown in %
• The map preview is larger and easier to see
• Fixed the capture screen getting stuck on "Allow camera", and freezes at launch on Android
• Filming reminders are now capped at 2 per day
Thank you for always using POVLOG.

1.2.2 Aug 19
POVLOG 1.2.1 polishes everyday use, based on your feedback since 1.2.0.

• Friends' new clips now flow in automatically every 30 seconds while home is open

• Notifications are tidied up: at most 1 per hour, and deadlines are consistently shown as 24:00
• Fixed the home returning to the first ROOM after filming, deleted clips remaining on friends' side, and more

1.0.7 Jul 2
A new "Frames" feature, and a reworked relay hand-off.
- Choose how your video is bound, from four frames: Film, Black, White, or None. Film binds your clips side by side, like a strip of film.
- Frames work for groups and solo, on free and full videos alike — and we remember the frame you picked last.
- Relay hand-off reworked: each clip now plays full and full-screen, with a small "NEXT ▸ next person" preview in the bottom-right near the end.
Thank you for using POVLOG. If you notice anything, let us know in the community.
1.0.6 Jun 23
This update brings refinements and bug fixes.
- Relay can now start with just two people, and you can add a short note (optional, up to 15 characters) to the baton you pass on.
- The hand-off and sharing flow is cleaner, so a link opens straight into the app to join.
- Video fixes: a missing last clip, the display when there's only one filmer, and emoji that came out blank.
- Fixed a case where re-generating wouldn't start. Groups can now return to "before generating" even after finishing — to add or remove scenes and send unsent clips.
- We also keep clips from being dropped before upload and fixed duplicate notifications.
Thank you for using POVLOG. If you notice anything, let us know in the community.
1.0.5 Jun 17
Relay is now even better to hand off.
- When the baton reaches you, watch the previous person's clip first, then film — with the caption and map overlaid on it.
- Browser filming improved: a 5-second countdown, a true 9:16 preview, front-camera mirror & zoom, and "open in app to join." Web joining is now in 7 languages.
- Members can now create videos too (renders mid-shoot need the owner's approval).
- Your clip's map on/off is saved and carried into the video.
- Plus purchase stability improvements, a fix for map display hitches, and various bug fixes.
Thank you for using POVLOG. If you notice anything, let us know in the community.
1.0.4 Jun 14
We added a new way to film together: Relay.
- Relay: pass the baton and film 5 seconds each to build one video together. Hand it off by QR or link — friends can even join from the browser, no app required.
- Map (Pro): overlay the place you filmed onto your video.
- "Film with the same people": set up your next shoot with the same crew in seconds.
- We reorganized how you start and join shoots and refreshed the Home layout. Google sign-in is now available on iOS too.
- Plus stability improvements for video creation and display.
Thank you for using POVLOG. If you notice anything, let us know in the community.
1.0.3 Jun 14

• Your morning MY VLOG arrives as a ticket you tear open along the perforation
