Such a small investment that saves you so much time. Does exactly what it's meant to do and it does it well.

Discovered this through a roast thread and found it really awesome. Super lightweight, runs in the background, and outputs great quality.

I love Lapse. It works as advertised and the quality of the exported footage is great. A cool, lightweight addition to the menu bar.
