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. ## 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. ## What people say - **App Store rating of the iPhone and iPad app:** 4.8 out of 5 from 48,233 ratings in the United States, read Oct 6, 2026.
