Capture Timelines

Take screenshots
As always. The app reads the screenshots and screen recordings already in Photos; it never touches a camera photo.

Swipe. Discards get preselected; deleting is still yours.
Scale
From the day to the hour with a pinch
The rail shows each day with its bursts and how long passed between them. What matters here is the hour, not the year.
Review
Decide with a swipe
Keep, discard or heart. Discards are preselected in the session; deleting is still yours, with the system confirmation.
Curate
Sessions to an album, clips to Final Cut
A project is a Photos album: it syncs by itself and outlives the app. Clips export with an FCPXML that Final Cut, Resolve and Premiere open.
Made for
Screenshots, recordings and clips. And the whole library by camera.
Three kinds of media on the same rail, plus a tab that sorts the entire library by which camera took each photo.
Testing apps
Every burst of testing is a session. Compare, pick and delete the rest without opening Photos.
Giving feedback
What went through Markup carries its badge. A built-in editor annotates on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Recording the screen
Recordings and clips, with duration and transcript. Export the proposed cut as FCPXML.
Seeing by camera
One lane per camera over shared time rows. The camera comes from EXIF, which Photos never shows.
What the app knows
It reads the screen. It tells you what’s there.
Apple Intelligence reads the text on a screenshot and writes what it shows. On a clip, it transcribes the audio and characterizes it. Runs on device, on demand, one image at a time.

Across your Apple devices
iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Both apps go on all three. Capture cleans up more comfortably on Mac, where an assistant can read the library over MCP. Video imports the same way from Photos, Files or a drop.

FAQ
Before you start.
Are they the same app?＋
No. Capture Timelines sorts the screenshots already in Photos. Video Timelines imports a video and breaks it into frames and cuts. Both are Timelines apps; each one does one job.
Does Capture touch my camera photos?＋
No. Only screenshots and video enter the rail. Camera photos appear only in the Cameras tab, and there is no "delete unedited" there.
What happens to what I delete in Capture?＋
It goes to Recently Deleted in Photos and can be recovered for 30 days. The app never duplicates the confirmation: the system asks, always.
Do I need an account?＋
No. Neither app has an account, analytics or sync. Capture never talks to a network. Video only talks to a network if you download the vision model, and that is on demand.
