One second per day
Oh the places you'll remember.
One photo to save a day otherwise lost to the winds of memory. A second of each day. Memories restored by a single snapshot of a time and place that 10 years from now you'll otherwise scarcely remember.
Your project
When others look in, you look out.
Using Live Photo and the rear facing camera you can create a video diary, one second at a time. Pair this with a random Reminder to build a new world-documenting habit for life.
Duo Camera
Capture the scene and your face in the same photo.
Private by design
Your photos are 100% private and stored in your personal iCloud.
Hidden Projects
Lock any project behind Face ID.
Reminders
Get daily, weekly, or monthly reminders while you build the habit.
Widgets
Add the latest project photo to your Home Screen or share a follow-along link.
Shared albums
Invite any number of people privately through iCloud, with view-only or edit access.
Import Photos
Start a project with photos you already have.
Video Templates
Share time-lapse videos, compare videos, timelines, and metric overlays.
Live Photos
Use Live Photos when a project needs a little motion.
Is this different from a selfie daily photo project?
It can be. This page is about pointing the camera outward at the world around you, but DayReel works for both outward-facing and selfie projects.
Do I need to use Live Photos?
No. Regular photos work too. Live Photos are useful when you want a little motion in the final video.
Can I use it for travel?
Yes. Turn on Location in any project and you can choose to overlay a map of where you are in any video you create. It works well for trips, weekends away, long-term travel, hobbies, nights out, and everyday scenes.
Can I add older photos or Live Photos?
Yes. You can add media you already captured and keep building the project from there.
Can I share the final video?
Yes. Create a video from the project and share it through the apps you already use when you are ready.
One second per day projects
DayReel works as a one second per day app for rear-camera daily photos, Live Photos projects, travel videos, hobby timelines, social life videos, everyday scene projects, and private time-lapse videos. Capture the world around you, add photos or Live Photos over time, and share a short video when the project is ready.
