A macOS app to export and convert your BeReal data.
✨ Download ✨
- Photos: every BeReal as a JPEG with its date, caption and location in the EXIF data. Front camera as an inset (Auto picks the corner that covers the least of the photo), front and back as separate files, or both.
- Time-lapse: one H.264 MP4 of your BeReals in order, 1–30 photos per second, with an optional date stamp.
- Everything else: video BeReals and behind-the-scenes clips copied as-is, chat photos, and comments in a text file.
- Options: a date range, and year/month/day folders or a flat folder.
- Preview: see a BeReal exactly as it will be exported, or as a time-lapse frame, while you change the options.
Everything runs locally. The app sends anonymous usage events via Aptabase; your photos never leave your Mac.
- macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
