About

Lapse is an app that turns your iPhone into a disposable camera, letting users add the shutter to their Lock Screen for a one-tap true film aesthetic connected to a friends-only photo journal. The company built Lapse as a reminder that taking and sharing memories doesn't have to mean curating a life for likes from strangers or competing with friends for followers. Lapse has been rolling out gradually through a friends-only Early Access program while the team continues refining the product.
