## What is Vid Loop?

Vid Loop is a live camera that plays with time.

Point it at anything and it remembers the last 20 seconds. Swipe across the picture to pull the moment backward and forward, let it loop on its own, or stack echoes of the past on top of the present. Everything happens live, on your phone, while you film.

Inspired by the cult time-delay camera apps of the early App Store, rebuilt for today.

TIME IS YOUR TIMELINE
• Swipe the image to scrub back through recent moments — flick to fling it, double-tap to snap back to live
• Loop ping-pongs or sweeps through time by itself; change depth and speed mid-take

EFFECTS NOBODY ELSE HAS
• Ghost — echoes of earlier frames stacked on the live image, with every bright highlight shining through
• Trails — video feedback: anything bright and moving smears into a fading streak
• Tunnel — the same feedback zoomed and turned every frame, so trails spiral into an endless tunnel
• Mirror — a kaleidoscope where each mirrored quarter is a moment further back in time; tap again for 3×3, 4×4 and 5×5 halls of mirrors
• Slit — time-warp slit-scan, live and scrubbable: every line of the picture is a different moment, so movement bends and melts
• Paint — the scene repainted live in moving brush strokes, like a painting come to life
• Chaos — hands the controls to chance, remixing every effect on the fly
• Combine them for looks you can't get from a filter

MOVES TO THE MUSIC
• Audio React listens through the mic and finds the beat
• Bounce flips the loop on every beat; Jump leaps through time in rhythm
• Louder sound pushes the loop faster
• A Loud Venue setting keeps it locked on at gigs and parties

RECORD AND SHARE
• Record exactly what you see, with live sound on its own clean track
• Portrait records vertical 9:16 — ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts; landscape records 16:9
• Save to Photos or share straight from the gallery; trim and rename clips

MADE FOR PERFORMING
• Big, finger-sized controls that fold away with one tap
• Lock the screen orientation and the whole picture becomes your scrub surface
• Your fingers always win — beats and chaos never fight a hand on the screen

Musicians, VJs, skaters, dancers, anyone who wants their video to look like nothing else on the feed.

No account. No ads. Everything runs on your phone — your camera, microphone and clips never leave it.
