Inspiration

Simple, well designed, elegant apps that does one thing exceptionally well.

What it does

Create amazing timelapse video focusing on faces.

How we built it

Through Xcode, SwiftUI, CoreImage, AVFoundation & Vision. Going as native as possible to deliver best experience even without internet connection.

Challenges we ran into

  • Getting a consistent face alignment without users needed to do much
  • Adjusting video export settings to generate the video as quickly as possible
  • Deciding what monetization model to use and pricing

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The app is super simple to use, the result videos are amazing. I use it often myself to create videos of my kid to share with family & friends.

What we learned

Building the app is only half the story, actually shipping and promoting is another mountain to climb.

What's next for FaceLapse: Timelapse Video

More customization for the result video and features depending on user feedback.
