A picture is worth a thousand words, so imagine the boundless narrative power of a video. Take that power, and magnify it by 365. That’s the power of 1SE, a videography app that allows users to splice together 1 second videos every day throughout the year, compiling a stunning progression of time by the end of each month or each year.

The 1SE origin story is touching and inspiring, with founder Cesar Kuriyama coming up with the idea when he felt too complacent in his life, saved enough money to quit his job, and began a year-long period of adventure when he turned 30. He wanted to remember every moment of this extraordinary year, and 1 Second Everyday was born.

The app has a gorgeous design, it is intuitive to use, and it produces great results. It is available both on the App Store and Google Play as a free app with a pro version offered. The app presents all the videos taken on a specific day for users to splice together the best 1 second snippets. It also sends friendly, inspirational, and helpful reminders so that you never miss a day. The end result is a highly personal video diary that captures all the excitement, sentimentality, and memories of daily life.

Apple Staff Pick praises the “spellbinding app” as “everything you need to put together your own thought-provoking narrative,” while the New York Times says that of all the digital mediums out there, “few inspire personal reflection so viscerally.”

Start your personal movie today with the 1SE app! Your future self will thank you for capturing so many moments that you will cherish when they are illuminated by the glow of nostalgia.
