AutoShot- Video Scheduler

You want to leave the phone aside and let it take video or a time laps without handling it.
You want to take a time lapse of the sunset but not get up?
You have a family dinner and want to record it without messing with the phone?
This is what this app is about.

→ Schedule video or time-lapse recordings with exact start and end times
→ Set recordings for a specific date and time in the future
→ Create multiple recordings that run one after another with no overlap
→ Choose between video (1080p, 30 FPS) or time-lapse with adjustable intervals
→ Works in both portrait and landscape orientations
→ Minimal recording interface with dimmed screen to reduce power usage
→ Shows countdown and upcoming scheduled recording
→ Automatically saves all recordings to your Photos library
→ Built for reliability with clear handling of battery, storage, and system limits

The app runs in the foreground to ensure stable recording. Once started, it waits for the next scheduled recording and proceeds through the list automatically.

Free version limitations:
→ Max 3 schedules
→ Max 4 minutes per recording
→ Max 10 minutes total duration across all recordings

A one-time upgrade removes all limits.

My name is Gilad. I'm an indie developer. I build apps that I love, and that I think can be useful.
As with many of my apps, I had a need for something like this and couldn’t find a good solution.

This app was built because, throughout my life, I’ve had situations where I couldn’t—or didn’t want to—use my phone, but still wanted to capture a moment. For example, during holidays when my late beloved grandpa was sitting with me and the rest of the family at a holiday dinner. I wanted to set the phone earlier, forget about it, and let it capture a time-lapse or a few short video clips from the long dinner we shared. I never found something that could do that for me. That’s why I created this app, especially for moments like that.

Another example: I once wanted to capture a video of ants in my backyard doing their work. I knew they were active in the morning when the sun was out. I wished I had a time-lapse timer like this. Now I do, but the ants are gone.

I hope you enjoy and benefit from this app as it was intended. As always, I’d love to hear if you’re missing a feature or run into any issues.
