sill
Pick one window on day one. Every day after, sill nudges you at the same moment of light and stitches each photo into a silent time-lapse of your view.
"One ritual the algorithm can't poison."
The hook
Pick one window on day one. Every day after, sill nudges you at the same moment of light and stitches each photo into a silent time-lapse of your view.
The user
People who just moved, just got a place they're proud of, or just want one ritual the algorithm can't poison. They install now because "I should document this" never survives the first week — sill turns it into a 10-second daily tap with a forcing constraint (same window, same time, no filters).
The klip-feed
| Replaces | The dressed-up moodboard / "apartment tour" reel |
| Klip payload | Slow-moving window — same frame, drifting light, seasons turning |
| Profile signal | Reads as a person's place in a way a curated grid never does |
AI layer
| What it does | A vision model detects when the light/season has meaningfully shifted from the previous frame, writes a one-line caption for the time-lapse ("first overcast morning · leaves turning"), and homography-aligns each frame to the day-one anchor. |
| Input | Today's photo + day-one anchor + EXIF time + previous frame |
| Output | Aligned frame + change caption + month-marker tag |
| Why with > without | Without AI, the time-lapse is a flicker of misaligned frames with no narrative. With AI, the reel reads like a story written by the light itself. |
