iAutoCapture

Automated time-lapse and photo capture tool. Whether you want to record a time-lapse of your workspace, track plant growth, build daily habits, or just need a quiet background camera assistant, it handles it all perfectly.
We focus on "invisible operation" and "high customization."
Once set up, it works silently in the background like a hidden assistant. Even if you restart your computer, it accurately remembers all your configurations and shooting status, never missing a single important moment!

[Flexible & Powerful Shooting Plans]
Ultra-wide shooting intervals: From high-frequency 5 or 10 seconds to long-term 30 minutes, or even up to 8 hours. Meets any need from time-lapse photography to long-term recording.
Smart Schedule: Customize "Daily Auto-Start" and "Auto-Stop" times (e.g., run only on weekdays 9:00 - 18:00), eliminating the need for manual daily toggles.
Limited Capture Mode: Support setting an auto-pause after capturing 1~200 photos to prevent photo flooding and precisely control your media volume.
Second-Level Response Engine: Instantly captures the first photo the moment you click "Start." Features powerful state memory—even if you restart the App or your Mac, the shooting status won't be interrupted or reset.

[Invisible & Pure Experience]
Menu Bar Resident: Easily control "Start/Stop Capture" or access "Settings" right from your top menu bar.
Minimalist Immersive Mode: Find the menu bar too crowded? You can completely hide the menu bar icon, letting the App run entirely invisible and silently in the background.
Launch on Startup: Set it up once and forget it exists.
Global Hotkeys: No matter what software you are using, press the dedicated hotkey to start or pause the scheduled capture with one click.

[Organized File Management]
Auto Daily Archiving: Photos are automatically saved into independent folders named by "Date," making later organization and searching clear at a glance.
One-Click Access: Click the path in settings to instantly open today's photo directory in Finder.
Three Quality Options: Choose to save in "Small, Medium, or Original Size," helping you perfectly balance photo clarity and hard drive space.

[Rich Personalized Configurations]
Multi-Camera Support: Perfectly supports the Mac built-in camera, external USB cameras, and iPhone Continuity Camera.
Multiple Shutter Sounds: Includes 3 carefully selected capture sounds, giving you a sense of security while shooting in the background without being disturbed (you can also run it completely muted).
