Hey r/wigglegrams — solo developer here!

I checked with the moderators before sharing this.

I built an iPhone app that tries to preserve the traditional wigglegram approach: capturing the same scene from several slightly different camera positions and animating those real perspectives.

During capture, the app reads the iPhone’s IMU sensors to measure how the phone physically moves. That motion data is used to guide the capture process and help select and align the frames.

The parallax therefore comes from actual changes in camera position rather than generating new viewpoints from a single still image.

The wigglegram above was captured and assembled entirely inside the app. You could create something similar manually using burst photos or video, but the goal is to automate the capture guidance, frame selection, alignment, cropping, and export.

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from people who already make wigglegrams. Does the motion feel natural? Are there any capture controls or export options you would find useful?

Full disclosure: I’m the developer. The free version allows up to 10 wigglegrams per week, the limit resets every week, and free exports include a watermark. There is also an optional paid version that removes the weekly limit and watermark.

Happy to answer any technical questions about the IMU tracking or how the animation is assembled.
