One second a day.Your year, on replay.
Retro1 is a video journal made of seconds. Record one moment every day and turn your month or your year into a film you'll actually want to watch.
Features
Small moments, the big picture.
02
Your year at a glance
Browse your days as a calendar, a timeline or a grid, and fill in the days you missed.
03
Compile your videos
Turn a month, a year or any range into one video, in 720p, 1080p or 4K, with the date on screen and your own soundtrack.
04
Edit in place
Filters (vintage, black and white, sepia, warm, cool), crop to 16:9, rotate, add text, change the speed or mute.
05
Projects
Beyond the daily journal: collect photos and clips from a trip or an event and render them into their own video.
06
Gentle reminders
A daily nudge at the time you pick, with an optional quote of the day, and a weekly summary.
07
Backed up to your Drive
Optional backup to a private Retro1 folder in your Google Drive, restore on a new phone, and an automatic export at the end of the year.
08
Light, dark, your language
Light and dark themes, and the app in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and Italian.
How it works
A habit that takes seconds.
Record
Capture today's moment, or import it from your gallery.
Pick the second
Trim it to the one second that sums up your day.
Play it back
At the end of the month or the year, generate the video and relive it.
Your days stay yours.
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your clips live on your phone, and Retro1 only goes online when you turn on Google Drive backup.
