You'll actually watch it back
Every recap is styled as a handheld VHS recording — grain, warmth, timestamp. Full-screen, one day flowing into the next. Not a folder you scroll past — a film you sit through to the end.
A Modaal Studio app
Remember every day.
One second at a time.
ONSE keeps 1 second of every day. A year later it's not a folder of photos — it's a film you actually watch, styled like a VHS tape.

Today is empty
The whole point
9 minutes
That's a full year of your life, at 1 second a day. Long enough to be a film. Short enough that you'll actually watch it.
How it works
Capture. Keep. Watch.
01 Capture
Pick your one moment — 1 second of video or a photo. Your highlight of the day.
02 Keep
Every day becomes a memory you keep.
03 Watch
Any month, any year, or any range you pick, stitched into one film.
Features
Built for watching, not scrolling.
Any stretch of your life, on demand
A month, a year, or a range you pick yourself. A trip, a season, any week. Pick two dates and ONSE makes the film.
Share it, or don't
Download your recap as a file and post it wherever you like.
