Lapse is a photo-sharing app that aims to bring back the experience of using a disposable camera. Users have a "roll" of 36 shots to take daily, and once a roll is done, users must wait anywhere between one and three hours for their images to “develop” . The app encourages living in the moment and sharing memories pressure-free. Lapse is currently leading the Apple App Store’s Top Free Photo and Video Apps chart.

Some key features of Lapse include:

• Disposable Camera: Lapse is designed to function like a disposable camera, with users having to wait for their photos to "develop" before they can view them.

• Rolls: Users can sort their photos into albums called "Rolls," which are available for friends to view.

• Journal: Users can also archive their snaps to be stored on their profile, called their Journal.

• Friends not Followers: Lapse encourages smaller social feeds with its "friends not followers" philosophy.

Lapse is available on the App Store and is rated 12+ . While Lapse has good default safety features, there are still a few risks. To use the app, Lapse asks users to turn on notifications, verify their phone number, create a username, invite contacts, add friends, and even set up a widget on their lock screen before using the app.
