Start in three steps
- 1
Create the group
Pick a name, an icon or a photo. Video or photo, how many seconds, which times of day — you decide. Then share the invite code.
- 2
Catch the window
A capture window opens at each time you set. Pull out your phone, tap the shutter or hold it. A few seconds, that is all.

One vlog at day’s end
The day’s clips line up by time and merge into one video. Reorder them, add music, save to your gallery or share it.
What is inside the app?
Recapday is not social media. No followers, no like counts, no explore feed — just your group and the moments of that day.
Capture windows
Opens at the times your group chose and closes when the window ends. Miss it and you miss that moment — that is the point.
One vlog per day
Clips are ordered by capture time, each stamped with the name, time and caption. The vlog is rendered on your phone.
Your order, your music
Drag clips to reorder, drop the ones you do not want, add a track from your files and balance music against clip audio.
Video or photo
The group creator picks: a short clip or a single frame. Clip length is one of 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 seconds.
Reactions and comments
Nothing autoplays in the feed. Tap a clip to open it, leave an emoji, write a comment.
Home screen widget
Your group’s latest clips and the next capture time, right on your home screen — without opening the app.
With your partner, a day made for two.
A private group just for the two of you. Notifications arrive with their name, sharing small moments together throughout the day.
Turn on Couple Mode in group settings to personalize notifications like “Ayşe is thinking of you 👀”. Track your shared daily streak, count mutual reactions, and at day’s end watch your moments merge into a private daily vlog.

How it was built
I wrote up the decisions behind Recapday and the concrete problems I solved — architecture, camera bugs, the ffmpeg chain, account deletion.

Frequently asked questions
Can I record whenever I want?
No. Recording is only possible inside the window that opens after each time your group set. The creator also picks how long that window stays open, from 10 minutes to 2 hours. That is what makes everyone catch the same moment.
Who can see the clips?
Only members of that group. There are no public profiles or explore feeds; groups are joined by invite code only.
I posted by mistake — can I delete it?
You can delete a clip or edit its caption for 15 minutes after posting. After that it locks and stays as part of that day.
How is the vlog made?
The day’s clips are ordered by capture time and joined end to end, each stamped with the name, time and caption. You can reorder, remove clips and add music. The video is rendered on your phone.
Is it paid?
No. No ads and no in-app purchases either.
What is Couple Mode and how does it work?
You can set a two-person group as a "Couple group" in group settings. In this mode, notifications arrive with your partner's name ("Ayşe is wondering about you 👀"), track your shared daily streak, and unlock the "Our stats" panel showing mutual reactions and memories.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Profile → Delete account, instantly. Without installing the app, use the web page and the code sent to your email. Either way clips, comments and your profile are removed permanently.
