Timelapse app for iPhone
April 13, 2013 8:14 AM Subscribe
I'm looking for a timelapse app for the iPhone with some special requirements.
I would like to capture the progress of some of the flora growing around my house this Spring. What that means is going around with my iPhone every couple of days to various spots and lining up the shot in exactly the same position as the previous day. So I basically just need main two features:
- Some sort of "onion skinning" feature to help line up each shot using the previous photo
- The ability to have multiple "queues" of timelapses, since I want to track the progress of maybe a dozen different plants/trees
There are a ton of timelapse apps out there, and even a few with onion skinning, but I haven't found any that allow for the type of workflow described above.

That said, it doesn't allow for multiple sequences (at least not the first version I used).

Response by poster: Yeah, there are a couple of timelapse questions on AskMefi, but they're mostly focused on the "set it and forget it" variety...

The iphone apps I see mentioned repeatedly are Everyday, Day One & Time-Lapse. I downloaded the free version of Time-Lapse after seeing it in that thread I mentioned above, but I haven't explored any of the apps thoroughly. I think the free version of Time_Lapse only allows one stream of photos, but the pay version will allow you as many as you want.
Features listed included "Onion skin framing assistance".

Best answer: One possibility is this app that popped up yesterday: Frameographer - Stop Motion & Time-Lapse
