## What is Off the Reel?

Shoot a second whenever something catches your eye. It piles up by tag, and when there's enough, it becomes a video.

■ SHOOT FIRST
Tap the shutter for 1, 2, 4 or 8 seconds, or hold it to keep shooting. Swipe the tags under the shutter and each cut lands in commute, café, workout or whatever you set up. Turn the phone for landscape; selfies get a screen light.

■ A CAPTION FOR EVERY CUT
Tap the cut you just shot to add a caption. Five styles including handwriting, serif and a caption bar. Drag it anywhere or snap it to a fixed spot. The areas Reels and Shorts cover are shown in advance.

■ WHEN THEY PILE UP, MAKE ONE
Pick tags, a period, how many cuts and how to pick (spread evenly, one per day, most recent), and we choose the cuts. Remove, reorder or add others as you like.

■ ON THE BEAT
Pick a song and the app measures its beat from the preview, then ends every cut on a beat. Cuts are never stretched beyond what you shot. The song isn't added to the video; add the same song in Reels or Shorts and it lines up.

■ LANDSCAPE AND PORTRAIT TOGETHER
Landscape cuts in a portrait video, or portrait cuts in a landscape video, get margins: paper, white, black, lilac or blur, with the tag and time in the margin.

■ POST
We write a caption and copy it for you, then send the video through the share sheet. Save to Photos in one tap too.

■ WITHOUT OPENING THE APP
Shoot with a tag straight from a Home Screen widget, or grab a cut from the Lock Screen, Control Center or Action button without unlocking. There's a This Week widget too.

■ YOUR PHOTOS BECOME CUTS
We take the steadiest 2 seconds from Live Photos and videos and add them to a tag, keeping the date and place.

No account, no server. Your cuts and videos stay on this phone.

Song previews from Apple Music are used only to measure the beat.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.2 — 2026-11-03

Lighter by default.

- Videos now move one second per cut. 24 cuts, 24 seconds.
- Landscape cuts sit on a blurred copy of the same scene.
- The time stamp is a single white number in the center, no pill. Change it or turn it off under Layout.
- Tag names no longer appear in the margins.
- Share captions carry only your own tags. For videos cut to a song, copy the song name and add it in Reels.
- The make screen folds its options into one Layout row.
- Lens buttons on the camera are now round, so they don't look like the length buttons.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-10-27

- In Make video, swipe the preview to change the filter: Original, Film, Warm, B&W, Faded, Vivid.
- Buttons no longer overlap when you shoot with the phone turned sideways.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-10-26

Off the Reel, rebuilt.

- Shoot first, put it together later. Cuts pile up by tag, no vlog to set up.
- Tap for a short cut, hold to keep shooting (up to 15 seconds).
- Add a caption to any cut. Place it anywhere or snap it to one of five spots.
- Make video: pick tags, a period and how many cuts, and we choose them. Pick a song and every cut ends on the beat.
- Landscape and portrait cuts in one video, with five margin colors.
- Shoot with a tag right from widgets and the Lock Screen.
- Your cuts and videos from 1.x come along as they are.

### 1.8.3 — 2026-10-16

Fixes
- If a call or another app takes the camera, the shooting screen tells you why it paused.
- The shooting screen opens faster and runs lighter while you shoot.
- You'll be told before shooting if your iPhone is almost full.
- If Photos access is off, you can jump straight to Settings.
- Pink and lime Color Weeks now catch lighter shades.

### 1.8.2 — 2026-10-15

Fixes
- Share sends your video straight to the share sheet, so you no longer pick it again in Instagram.
- Landscape videos sent to Reels, Shorts or TikTok are no longer cut off at the sides. They sit in the middle of a vertical frame.
- Editing a shop name or rating in a food or trip log now updates the saved video.
- Video making keeps going if you briefly leave the app, and stops when you leave the screen.
- If camera access is off, the app shows you the way to Settings.
- Cuts shot from the Lock Screen are no longer lost when storage is low.
- Long vlogs, sticker editing and Color Week shooting are lighter.
