About this app

Intervalometer is an automation app for time-lapse to trigger camera shutter in any camera apps with a user-configured time interval.
Normal time-lapse mode in most smartphones only allows auto exposure without additional controls on exposure settings and RAW format.
Intervalometer works with any camera modes in any camera apps including light-painting mode, HDR, night mode, manual mode, telephoto or ultra-wide angle mode to capture a series of time-lapse image frames.
This app works like an actual intervalometer for smartphones, it automates camera shutter triggering using AccessibilityService API and it works on any camera app for Android 7 and above.
It can also be used with dedicated camera's remote apps from Canon, Sony, Nikon and etc to trigger the shutter button in the camera's remote app, this acts as an actual intervalometer for dedicated cameras too.
With intervalometer and its flexibility to control time-lapse configurations, the following types of time-lapse are possible.
1. Low light time-lapse
2. Long exposure time-lapse
3. HDR time-lapse
4. Milky Way time-lapse / Star Trails time-lapse
5. Holy Grail of time-lapse (Day to night time-lapse)
6. Ultra wide angle time-lapse
7. Light painting time-lapse

Other than time-lapse, it can also be used to capture frames for image stacking in post-process (on other apps) to achieve higher quality images and etc.
1. Image stacking
2. Star trails
3. Lightning stacking

Features
- Full control on time-lapse configuration (delay timer, interval time, number of shots)
- Infinite mode
- Bulb mode
- Works with Any camera app (shutter button position can be reconfigured)

Note: For Huawei and Xiaomi devices, please try to restart your device if it doesn't work or touch input can't be triggered.

Disclaimer: Intervalometer only automates photo taking process, it is neither a camera app nor image processing app.

Ratings and reviews

I use this app to make time-lapses for the purpose of documenting my creative process. Many times, when this app is supposed to be capturing photos in my phone's camera app, I'll return to my phone after hours of painting to see the camera app no longer active. When this happens, the menu section of Intervalometer will be open. This is highly problematic because there is no indication when and if the app will crash back to the main screen. In the end I often lose hours of work.

Very disappointed, to say the least. Not once have I been able to actually see or save any photos supposedly captured over the several nights I've attempted to use it for astrophotography on my Pixel 7 Pro. I have the paid version and the most recent version of app, so that makes the disappointment hit even harder. Literally left with a dud product, 6+ hours of what could've been spectacular imagery just wasted, and less change in my wallet for it all. 1/5 is lowest I can rate; 0 fits it better.

I'm using this on a spare 4G phone I had, with a Canon M200 to take time lapse astrophotography. I read that the phone should not sleep or be interrupted while using this app, so I set the phone to never lock and connect a charger to the phone before starting. I also turned off all phone notifications. At first, the app only worked for about an hour at a time. To fix this, I started using the Bluetooth remote option in the Canon app instead of Remote live Shooting. That fixed it. Works great!
