Everyday is an iPhone app to make a movie of yourself getting old
Everyday is a single-serve iPhone app which looks like a lot of fun — if you have a little discipline. Essentially it is an app for snapping self-portraits, but it brings an extra feature not found in other photo-apps: time.
The idea is to snap a picture of your face every single day (that’s where the discipline comes in). Then, once you have a bunch of photos saved, you can stitch them together into a time-lapse movie. You may have seen this kind of thing before — movies spanning decades done by patient people with regular cameras. The difference with Everyday is that it is easy, even if you’re forgetful.
To take a snap, you line up your face with on-screen guides, or show a ghostly overlay from a previous shot. Then snap! That’s it. You can share the individual photos manually or automatically to the usual places — Flickr, Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr — and you can also have the app pop up a daily reminder for you to take the shot.
But the best part? It’s actually not the app, but the accompanying video spot, filmed by the ever soporific-seeming Adam Lisagor, the go-to commercial-maker for nerdy companies with something to sell. Check it out:
Everyday will cost you $2, and is available now.
