LifeLoop

Android · free · no account

One photo a day.One steady time-lapse.

LifeLoop is a free Android app for daily photos: yesterday's shot sits faintly over the camera, the app aligns your face automatically afterwards and renders the series into a time-lapse video — no account, no upload.

Capture, alignment and rendering all happen on your phone.

Why daily-selfie time-lapses usually fail

Because your head is never in exactly the same place twice. Play 365 of those frames in a row and the face jumps so much that nobody watches to the end. Both strips below show the same four days.

The photos as they areEvery shot is framed a little differently. The result flickers.
The same photos, aligned by LifeLoopEyes detected, frame rotated, scaled and shifted. The face stays put and the year moves instead.

Fifteen seconds a day

There is no editing step and nothing to line up by hand. The app does the fiddly part twice — once while you shoot, once before it renders.

  1. Day 1

    Shoot against yesterday

    Yesterday's photo sits faintly over the camera preview, so you line up with the version of you from yesterday. A face guide confirms the framing.

    A daily reminder is optional, and it only ever asks twice before it stops.

  2. Day 2

    Alignment happens on its own

    Right after the capture, LifeLoop finds your eyes and rotates, scales and shifts the frame so your face lands where it landed on every other day.

    Face detection runs in an on-device model (Google ML Kit). Nothing is sent anywhere.

  3. Day 365

    Render it on the phone

    Pick a speed, a resolution and cross-fades, then export. Encoding uses your phone's hardware video encoder, so a year of photos takes seconds.

    Existing photos from your gallery can be imported, so you do not have to wait a month to see anything.

Your face stays on your phone

A daily-selfie app holds the most personal photo library there is. So, specifically:

No account.
Nothing to sign up for, so no profile of you anywhere.
No photo upload.
Capture, face detection and encoding run locally. The app works in airplane mode.
Backup only if you ask.
An optional backup to your own Google Drive exists for moving to a new phone.
Crash and usage data are anonymous.
No advertising ID, no photo content, EU-hosted — and you can switch it off.

Questions people ask

Is there an app that aligns daily selfies automatically?

Yes — that is what LifeLoop is for. It detects the eyes in each photo and rotates, scales and shifts the frame so your face sits in the same place in every shot. The alignment runs on the phone, right after each capture.

How do I keep my head in the same position every day?

You do not have to. LifeLoop shows yesterday's photo as a faint overlay on the camera preview, plus a face guide that confirms when the framing matches — and it corrects the rest afterwards.

Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?

No. Capture, face alignment and video rendering all happen on the device. There is no account and no photo upload. An optional Google Drive backup only runs if you connect it yourself.

Can I make a time-lapse from photos I already have?

Yes. Import existing photos from your gallery into a project and render straight away.

What does LifeLoop cost?

The app is free, including capturing, alignment and rendering. LifeLoop Pro removes the watermark from exported videos, unlocks 1080p and allows more than one active project at a time.

Is LifeLoop available for iPhone?

Not yet. LifeLoop runs on Android 8.0 and newer; rendering uses the phone's hardware encoder, so it is fast even on mid-range phones.

Take today's photo

The first photo is the hard one. After that it is fifteen seconds a day, and in a month you have something nobody can fake.
