What people record with Tau
Anything that takes hours on a screen or in front of a camera makes a good timelapse. Pick yours for the settings, layouts and tips that suit it.
for developers
Turn your coding sessions into shareable timelapses
Record your screen while you build, then export a polished timelapse for X, YouTube, or your devlog — without a 4-hour raw video sitting in your downloads folder.
for designers
Show your design process, not just the final file
Record your screen while you design in Figma, Photoshop, or anywhere else — and turn hours of iteration into a satisfying timelapse for your portfolio or socials.
for digital artists
Capture your art process as a timelapse, automatically
Record your screen while you paint, sketch, or illustrate — then export a satisfying process video without manually speeding anything up.
for content creators
Make better devlogs and process videos, faster
Record your screen and camera together, add overlays for context, and export in the format your platform needs — all without leaving Tau.
for streamers
Turn a six-hour stream into a clip worth posting
Record your stream as a timelapse alongside your usual capture, then post the whole session as a thirty-second recap instead of a VOD nobody scrubs through.
for educators
Show a whole lesson or build in under a minute
Record a worked example, a lab session, or a build from start to finish, then share a short timelapse students can actually watch before class.
for 3D artists
Record a model coming together from block-out to render
Capture long Blender, Maya, or ZBrush sessions as a timelapse — without a second recorder competing with your viewport for GPU.
for writers
Show a draft turning into a finished piece
Record a writing session as a timelapse — useful for accountability, for showing process, or for proving to yourself that the work actually moved.
for anyone with a webcam
Webcam timelapse recorder for Mac and Windows
Point a webcam at your desk, your easel, or your workbench and let Tau take one frame every few seconds. When you stop, the timelapse is already there to trim and export — no hours of footage to speed up.
