Open Source Selfie Stick vs Camera Remote Controller

This app acts as a "virtual selfie stick." It lets one iOS device act as a remote control for the camera of another iOS device (two iOS devices are required). Simply connect the devices to the same WiFi network or turn Bluetooth on, choose which device will be the camera and which will be the remote, and tap the shutter button on the remote control and the iPhone or iPad acting as the camera will snap a photo. You can choose to save the photos on the camera device or the remote control device, or both! You can also control the flash and set a countdown timer on the remote control. The camera allows you to lock focus, set a custom ISO, and even adjust color gains. This software is open source, and will always be free.

Camera Remote Controller turns your iPhone into a camera and your Mac or iPad into the monitor and remote. Put the iPhone on a tripod, sit down at your desk and see exactly what the camera sees, in real time, while you control every setting. Made for bloggers, streamers, teachers and anyone who records alone and wants to check framing, focus and exposure without running back to the phone. WHAT YOU GET • Live preview with low delay over your Wi-Fi network or a direct device-to-device link • Full camera control from the Mac or iPad: lenses and smooth zoom, tap to focus, exposure compensation, focus, exposure and white balance locks, torch, stabilization, resolution and frame rate up to 4K 60 • Photos and videos recorded on the iPhone in full quality, with sound, saved straight to Photos • Several iPhones at once: connect two or three cameras and switch between them from one screen • Battery and temperature of the iPhone right on the monitor • Dim the iPhone screen while it works to save battery • Keyboard shortcuts on the Mac: Space to record, P for a photo, Command-1, 2, 3 to switch cameras HOW IT CONNECTS Open the app on the iPhone. Open it on the Mac or iPad. The iPhone appears in the list. Tap Connect, tap Allow on the iPhone. Next time it connects on its own. Both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi, or simply near each other with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. PRIVACY Everything stays on your devices. The preview travels directly from the iPhone to your Mac or iPad on the local network. There are no servers, no accounts, no analytics and no ads. Recordings are stored only on the iPhone. ONE APP, TWO ROLES The iOS app runs as the camera on iPhone and as the remote on iPad. You can switch the role on any device, so an iPhone can also control another iPhone. REQUIREMENTS iPhone with iOS 18 or later as the camera. Mac with macOS 15 or later, or iPad with iPadOS 18 or later, as the remote. The app on the iPhone must stay in the foreground while it streams.
