5sec. records exactly five seconds of video—no more, no less. Tap once, record, and five seconds later the share sheet opens automatically. Post directly to Instagram, TikTok, or X, or save your clip. No stop button means no overthinking—you simply capture a tiny slice of real life. Every video includes a retro camcorder-style timestamp and scene number (optional in PRO). Free presets are included, while PRO adds custom frames and extra filters.
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m an indie developer from Japan, and I built 5sec. because I wanted capturing moments to feel effortless again.
Most camera apps let you record for as long as you want. With 5sec., there’s no stop button—just tap once, record exactly five seconds, and the share sheet opens automatically. Surprisingly, removing the stop button completely changes how recording feels. You simply capture a tiny slice of real life and move on.
Personally, I keep using it to film ramen. 🍜 The steam rising from a freshly served bowl, lifting the noodles with chopsticks… five seconds is all I need. Those little moments are exactly why I made this app.
I’d love to hear what you think. Any feedback, ideas, or questions are very welcome. Thanks for checking it out!
• PRO lets you use your own custom frames. Just save a 1080×1920 transparent PNG to your iPhone and select it in the app.
• If you don’t want to create your own frame, I’ve included a few sample frames on the website that you can download and try.
