Lapse It
Lapse It captures time-lapse and stop-motion videos on mobile devices. It offers choices of resolution and frame rate, plus onion skinning, live frame capture, exposure controls, timeline editing, and audio support. Finished videos can be saved as MP4, MOV, or FLV files. Lapse It says capture has no duration restriction, though battery capacity and available disk space set practical limits. Captured files 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, but no Pro price is listed. The app is listed for Android, iOS, and macOS, with iPhone, iPad, and Mac availability stated in the App Store listing. Its shutter sound is disabled by default, although some non-rooted phones may not allow disabling it for privacy-policy reasons. On Android, the FAQ says in-app purchases can be restored after a fresh install through the user’s Google Account.
