Korea’s viral vlog essential: setlog

If you want to make vlogs but always get stuck on editing, setlog, which has recently gone viral in Korea, can solve the problem. Just record a few seconds of video every hour, and the app automatically edits it into a smooth short video!

Even more appealing is its “group connection” feature: simply enter the same log room number to document an entire day with friends, with up to 12 people able to join at once. It then creates a shared vlog that interweaves everyone’s different daily rhythms. It’s like the Reels trend of showing what friends are doing every hour: watching everyone busy or zoning out at the same time makes even an ordinary daily log feel lively and fun.

Although the interface is currently only available in Korean and English, the icons are intuitive enough that there’s almost nothing to learn. It truly makes documenting life feel easy and fun again.

Turn everyday details into vintage stamps: one stamp

If you enjoy casually capturing those small, unexpected details of daily life, one stamp may be right up your alley. Centered on the idea of “partial cropping,” it turns photos into vintage stamps with perforated edges: a half-finished latte, a streak of light across a wall, or even a little cat paw that quietly slips into the frame can be gently cropped into tiny moments worth saving.

IG’s popular collage-style “perforated photos”

Lately, so many people on Instagram have been posting “perforated photos”! This popular collage-style layout lets you upload a photo to a website, which extends the image with a color-coordinated background. You can then place shapes like polka dots, stars, and water droplets over the photo, adjusting the background and layout yourself to create Y2K magazine-style images!

You can also take a more minimalist approach, leaving room for the image to breathe rather than piling on decorations. Keep only clean negative space and simple perforated shapes, then add text as an accent, such as an outfit theme, your current state of mind, or a casual mood note. The whole image immediately takes on a sense of narrative and design, like a carefully laid-out page from a visual diary.
