Start a session, prop your phone up, and get to work. StudyLapse tracks your time and turns the session into a time lapse you can actually watch back.
StudyLapse turns a study session into a time lapse.
Tap start, prop your phone up, and work. StudyLapse tracks how long you actually studied and quietly builds a video of the session — so at the end you have both a number and something to look at.
BUILT FOR LONG SESSIONS
Most apps that do this record continuous video, flatten your battery, and leave you with a file too big to keep. StudyLapse captures a single frame every few seconds and writes it straight to a compact video as it goes. A two-hour session becomes a sixty-second clip of about 26 MB.
THE TIMER DOESN'T LIE
Lock your phone, take a call, or switch apps and the clock keeps running — because you're still studying. iOS won't let any app use the camera in the background, so when that happens StudyLapse tells you exactly when the video paused and why, instead of pretending it didn't.
NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE
No account. No sign-up. No server. Your sessions and videos are stored on your device and are never uploaded. There are no ads, no analytics, and no tracking.
