Change a Life Story's chain even after the animations are made: add a photo between two others or take one out, and see what it changes and costs first.

You see what changes, and what it costs, first

"Cancel" closes it and the chain stays as it was, and "Done" ends the editing.
How this video was made
This is a screen recording of the Glim app at phone size, on a demo account with Glim's example photos. The taps were made automatically in a browser: each one shows as a soft circle, and an orange outline marks what the video points at. The animations you see were made with AI from those photos, as every animation in Glim is. There's no sound: the captions do the explaining, and they're written out here, with what's on screen at each moment.
