About:
TimeLapze is a native macOS application that records screen and camera time lapses directly from the menu bar. It leverages the ScreenCaptureKit API to efficiently capture high-quality video without the performance overhead of traditional screen recording. The tool simplifies the process of creating long-duration recordings, making it ideal for monitoring and documentation tasks.

Key Features:

Native menu bar interface for low-friction access
Uses ScreenCaptureKit for efficient, high-performance recording
Records both screen content and camera feed simultaneously
Automated time-lapse generation without manual video editing

Use Cases:

Creating software development progress videos or demos
Monitoring long-running computational tasks or builds
Recording online meetings or webinars for later review
Capturing time-lapse videos of UI/UX interactions

Alternatives:

CleanShot X – More focused on screenshots and short clips, lacks dedicated time-lapse automation.
OBS Studio – Highly configurable but complex; requires manual setup for time-lapse effects.
