Our verdict on OSnap!
OSnap! is a time-lapse and stop-motion photography app for filmmakers, animators, educators, hobbyists, and other creators using Apple devices. It captures still frames at intervals from 0.25 seconds to 48 hours, then supports shot-guide overlays, frame editing, audio, photo importing, and video rendering. The app is designed for iPhone and iPad, with compatibility for Macs running macOS 12.4 or later on Apple silicon. Its focus is practical control over frame-based production rather than broad platform coverage.
Pricing is structured around three paid options. The Monthly plan costs $1.99 per month, while the Annual plan costs $8.99 per year. Both include camera capture and photo importing through a subscription. The Lifetime plan costs $19.99 one time; camera capture and photo importing require a subscription or purchase. The published plans show no free plan, so buyers should choose based on expected use: annual or lifetime access makes more sense for recurring projects, while monthly billing suits shorter commitments.
OSnap! fits well into Apple-centered workflows. It can import photos from iOS Photos, Files, and cloud services including Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive. Exports and sharing extend to Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, with Apple Photos and Apple Music also supported. For production, manual camera controls, onion-skin overlays, voice commands, Wi-Fi-assisted capture, frame rearrangement, blending, reverse playback, voiceover, and export options give creators room to refine shots. Choose OSnap! if you work within iOS or macOS and want detailed capture and editing controls. Choose another tool if you need a free plan or support beyond Apple's platforms.
