## What is Rhea Cam?

Rhea Cam makes your iPhone or iPad a reels studio, a document scanner that signs and stamps, and a sharp webcam for your Mac. Reels and scans work on the device alone. The webcam needs the Rhea Cam app on a Mac on the same Wi-Fi.

REELS STUDIO
• Record upright 9:16 videos in 1080p or 4K at 30 or 60 fps, with stabilisation, timer, grid, safe zone and a teleprompter close to the lens
• Templates guide you clip by clip: Hook + 3 tips, Before/after, Step by step, Story and Product
• Auto-cut removes long pauses and "ums"; captions and zooms follow the cut
• Captions word by word or as a line, recognised on your device
• Fast zooms at every new sentence, five looks, film grain, cinema bars or a film strip, texts with styles and animations
• Speed per clip, cut a clip in two, and picture in picture with a second video or photo
• Hand gestures: an open palm starts and stops the recording, a victory sign zooms
• Blur background: a sharp 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9 strip with the same picture blurred around it
• Beauty with five sliders (skin, glow, slim, eyes, lips), live in the viewfinder and in the finished reel
• Photos like the viewfinder; several clips make one reel
• Export in 1080×1920, play it in the app, share it or save it to Photos

SCAN AND SIGN
• Apple's document scanner finds the page, takes it by itself and straightens it
• Scanner look removes shadows and grey paper; text recognition on your device makes the PDF searchable
• Sign with your finger, or use a photo of your signature or stamp: the paper becomes transparent. Place it on any page, move it, resize it and save a new PDF
• PDFs from other apps ("Open with" or "Share") can be signed too
• Scans and reels are in the Files app; send a scan to your Mac with one tap

WEBCAM FOR YOUR MAC
• Your camera goes over the local network to your Mac and becomes the camera "Rhea Cam" in FaceTime, Teams, Zoom, Meet and other apps
• 480p up to 4K, or 1080p at 60 fps; front or back camera, torch, zoom, tap to focus
• The viewfinder shows what the others see, with look, Beauty and effects from the Mac
• Your device can also be the microphone and a remote control for Rhea Cam on the Mac
• Pocket mode: black screen, the camera keeps running
• Record in full quality, up to 4K; the movie goes to Movies › Rhea Cam on your Mac

MORE IN THE MAC APP
• Up to four cameras with a director that switches by hand, on a timer or by voice
• Camera look: background blur or replacement, Beauty, lighting, name banner and logo
• Rhea Studio: screen recordings with your device as the camera bubble (macOS 15 or later)
• Edit: cut in the transcript, remove filler words, show notes with chapters, thumbnails and clips for reels
• Live translated captions, meeting translation and minutes, transcripts of audio files (macOS 26)

HOW IT WORKS WITH A MAC
1. Open Rhea Cam on your Mac and allow its camera extension once in System Settings.
2. Open Rhea Cam on your iPhone or iPad, allow access, and tap your Mac.
3. In your video call app, choose "Rhea Cam" as the camera.

REQUIREMENTS
• Reel captions work in the languages your device can recognise offline
• For the webcam: a Mac with the Rhea Cam app (macOS 13 or later) on the same local network
• Keep Rhea Cam open while streaming (iOS stops the camera when locked); use pocket mode
• Your call app keeps its own microphone; the phone microphone is for Rhea Cam on the Mac

PRIVACY
Rhea Cam sends nothing to anyone: no account, no ads, no tracking, no telemetry, no server in between. Reels, captions, Beauty, scans and signatures are made on your device. The live video goes directly to your Mac, encrypted with WebRTC; recordings and scans go only to your own Mac on your local network.

Works with FaceTime, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and other apps that let you choose a camera. Third-party names are trademarks of their respective owners; Rhea Cam is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

Rhea Cam is made by Schweizerpunkt GmbH, Switzerland.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.20.0 — 2026-10-07

• Keep your scans safe: choose a folder outside the app once, for example under On My iPhone. It stays even when Rhea Cam is deleted. After a reinstall choose the same folder and all your scans are back
• Folders in your scans: create, rename, delete and move scans
• Camera permission help: when the camera is not allowed, one button leads straight to the settings
• Connected to the Mac, your camera picture stays large and smooth; what the others see is shown small in the corner

### 2.19.1 — 2026-10-02

• Reels Studio: record upright videos and photos, follow a template clip by clip, cut pauses and "ums" automatically, and add word-by-word captions, fast zooms, looks, film grain, cinema bars, texts with styles and animations, speed per clip, picture in picture and a blur background. Cut a clip in two where you like. Export in 1080×1920 and play, share or save to Photos
• Hand gestures in the reels camera: an open palm starts and stops the recording, a victory sign zooms
• Beauty in reels: five sliders for skin, glow, face, eyes and lips, live in the viewfinder and in the finished reel
• Sign and stamp: draw your signature or use a photo of it or of your stamp, place it on any page and save a new PDF. PDFs from other apps can be opened in Rhea Cam and signed too
• Scans and reels are in the Files app under On My iPhone › Rhea Cam
• While connected to your Mac, the viewfinder shows what the others see, with look, Beauty and effects; one tap switches back to the plain camera
• Your device as a remote control for the Mac (recording, Studio, teleprompter, captions, minutes, next camera) and, if you pick it on the Mac, as the microphone for captions, minutes, the teleprompter and Mac recordings
• Recordings with content are never deleted, even if saving goes wrong
• The Mac app has a new layout with five areas, an Edit area with cutting in the transcript, show notes and thumbnails, Beauty in the camera look, transcripts of audio files, and recording on all connected phones at once

### 2.9.1 — 2026-09-23

• The Mac app it connects to has grown a lot: Director is its own area now, showing every connected phone as a live thumbnail together with the picture that goes out, and one click switches cameras
• Film looks, cinema bars, a news ticker with clock and LIVE dot, camera names that slide in, a break screen and a new stinger transition that wipes your logo across
• The Mac's own camera can be a source as well, so a second angle no longer needs a second phone
• Documents is its own area, and the pages the Mac saves become one multi-page searchable PDF
• Studio recordings carry your logo and name banner
• Fixed on the Mac: captions would not start with more than five languages, the microphone was asked for again and again, and cameras 3 and 4 could crash the app when they disconnected

### 2.6.0 — 2026-09-22

No release notes.
