Lapse is a disposable camera app that allows users to take disposable camera-style photos and wait until they "develop" to access them. The app is designed to bring back the thrill of seeing photos that supplement memories, just like the old days when people snapped photos, tucked their cameras away, and just kept living. The app is currently leading the Apple App Store’s Top Free Photo and Video Apps chart. Here are some key features of the app:

• Roll of Shots: Users have a "roll" of 36 shots to take daily.

• Development Time: Once a roll is done, users must wait anywhere between one and three hours for their images to “develop”.

• Sharing: Users can share their snaps to their Friends feed and see other peoples snaps as well.

• No Review or Edit: Lapse doesn’t allow users to review, retake, or edit their photos, which is a detail that feels very BeReal-inspired.

• Safety Features: Lapse has good default safety features, but there are still a few risks.

Lapse is an invite-only app, meaning that users can only get started by inviting five friends, as well as completing other tasks within their phones settings. The app is available on the App Store, but users need to do a series of actions to actually access it, including inviting friends, giving access to their camera and contacts, and adding the Lapse widget to their lock screen for easy access when taking photos on the go.
