Watch your plant grow, one photo at a time
capture, re-capture, watch
A single plant changes too slowly to notice day to day. Recaptr turns a series of repeat photos into a timelapse, so months of growth play back in a few seconds.
How it works
- Start a project for the plant you want to follow.
- Each time you capture, a faint overlay of your last photo shows through, so the framing stays consistent shot to shot.
- Set a reminder cadence so captures stay on schedule.
- Compile the series into a smooth timelapse video.
- Watch it back, scrub through the growth, and share the result.
Why the overlay matters
A timelapse only reads as growth if every frame lines up. The alignment overlay holds the leaf, the pot, and the angle in the same place across weeks, so the plant moves and nothing else does.
Questions
What kind of plants does this suit?
Anything with visible change over weeks or months: a monstera unfurling, a seedling reaching, an orchid coming into bloom, a bonsai filling out.
How often should I capture?
Whatever matches your plant. A fast grower reads well weekly, a slow one monthly. The reminder cadence is yours to set.
Where are my photos kept?
On your device. They stay there unless you turn on cloud backup with Pro. You can export or delete your data at any time.
Free to start. Recaptr Pro adds cloud backup, 1080p exports, and no watermark.
