Lapse It
What it is
Lapse It is an app for creating time-lapse and stop-motion videos on Android, iOS, and macOS. It offers onion skinning, live frame capture, exposure controls, timeline editing, and audio support, with choices of resolution and frame rate. Finished videos can be saved as MP4, MOV, or FLV files. The app says it has no fixed capture-duration limit, though battery life and available storage can limit a session. Captures are stored in the device’s sdcard/LapseIt directory.
The Free plan costs nothing and records at a lower resolution, with some features unavailable. Pro supports 1080p Full HD; the FAQ also lists 720p, 480p, 360p, and 240p. The App Store listing identifies iPhone, iPad, and Mac compatibility. Android purchases made through in-app billing are stored in the user’s Google Account and can be restored after a fresh install. The shutter sound is off by default, but some non-rooted phones may not allow it to be disabled.
