Timelapser – Screen Timelapse App by BAKAR

Timelapser

Effortless screen timelapses for Windows.

Timelapser turns long hours at your screen into a few seconds of video. Pick a display or a region, set how often a frame is taken, and press record — it samples the screen quietly in the background and renders a finished video the moment you stop.

The Capture page: choose a display or region, set the interval, and start recording from the control deck.

What it does

Timelapser records your screen — a whole display, or a rectangle you draw — by taking a frame every few seconds, then renders it into a smooth timelapse video. Smart Pause skips the idle stretches, and the Video Planner shows exactly what you’ll get before you start.

  • Record a full display or a custom region
  • Set the capture interval, with optional auto-stop
  • Smart Pause skips idle time automatically
  • Plan the result before you record
  • Export an MP4, JPEG frames, or both
  • Start and stop with a global hotkey (F9)
  • Live elapsed, frame count, and length while recording
  • Sits quietly in the system tray
Timelapser Output page — save an MP4 video and JPEG frames, with quality and save-location options
Output your way: a finished MP4, every frame as a JPEG, or both — with quality and frame rate under your control.

Features

Display or Region

Record a whole screen, or drag out an exact rectangle across your displays.

Smart Pause

Skips the idle stretches automatically, so nothing dull survives the cut.

Video Planner

See the finished video — length, frames, speed-up — before you record.

Video & Stills

Export a ready-to-watch MP4, JPEG frames, or both at once.

Timing Control

Set the interval, auto-stop after a length, and show or hide the cursor.

Tray & Hotkey

Start or stop with F9, and keep it one click away in the system tray.

Smart Pause

A timelapse is at its best when something is always moving. Smart Pause quietly skips the stretches where nothing happens — a long render, a big download, a coffee break — so those idle minutes never bloat the final video. It pauses when you step away, and resumes the instant you return.

Video Planner

Work out exactly what you’ll get before you press record. Forecast a result from your settings, or plan backwards from the video length you want — Timelapser gives you the interval to use, the frame count, the speed-up, and an estimated file size.

Timelapser Video Planner — forecast video length, total frames, speed-up and file size before recording
The Video Planner forecasts length, frames, speed-up, and file size — then applies the plan straight to your settings.

How to use

  1. Open Timelapser and pick a display, or draw a region to capture.
  2. Set your capture interval — 2 to 5 seconds suits most screen work.
  3. Press Record, or hit F9, and carry on working.
  4. Smart Pause skips the quiet stretches for you.
  5. Stop when you’re done — your timelapse renders and saves on its own.

Design

Timelapser is built to feel like a measuring instrument: cool slate panels, and a single red accent kept for the controls that matter. It stays out of your way while you work.

Download
