What is 1 Second Everyday?

1 Second Everyday, or 1SE, is a video diary app for iPhone and Android. You save a short clip or photo for each day on a calendar, and the app stitches weeks, months or years of them into a single movie. The free version covers one Journal project with a one-second snippet per day. A Pro subscription adds longer and unlimited snippets, more project types, music, cloud backup and higher-resolution export, and it can also be bought once as Life of Pro.

1 Second Everyday has a free plan. Paid plans start at $49.99 per year. See every plan

Good for

  • People who want a visual diary they can keep up in a few seconds a day
  • Parents recording a child's first years as a single video
  • Year-in-review or trip recap videos without manual editing

Worth knowing

  • Mobile only: there is no desktop or web version, and on iPad it runs as the iPhone app at iPad size.
  • Content does not sync between devices. Moving a project means restoring a 1SE backup, which needs Pro and replaces what is on the device.
  • Free accounts get one Journal project and one 1-second snippet a day, with no cloud backup.
  • The help center says there is no monthly plan: Pro is $49.99 a year or a one-time $249.

Key features

Journal projects
A calendar project where each day gets at least one second taken from a video or photo. Free accounts are limited to one Journal project and one snippet a day.
Mashing into a movie
The app compiles snippets into one continuous video of any length, such as a month, a season or several years. Pro adds HD and 4K export and removes the date stamp and 1SE branding.
Freestyle and Freestyle Collab
Freestyle projects are not tied to the calendar and suit trips or events. Freestyle Collab lets up to six people add snippets to one project; only one of them needs Pro.
Smart-Fill and reminders
Smart-Fill fills a month of days in one tap, and daily reminders prompt you to capture a moment. You can also add a private note to a day.
Music and editing tools
Pro includes a music editor with royalty-free tracks and access to your own music library, plus brightness and volume control for each snippet. Filters are iOS only.
1SE Cloud backup
Pro backs up all projects, encrypted, to 1SE's servers on Amazon Web Services in the US. After a subscription ends the backup is kept for 12 months and then deleted.
