GoldKey Camera is a more secure way to take photos and videos on your mobile device. It’s great for taking quick pictures of receipts, documents, or anything else that’s not for the rest of the world. In order to use this app you must already have a GoldKey Vault subscription. — Hidden From Other Apps — Photos and videos are never stored in the normal Photos folder. So other apps on your device will not have access to them. That means you’ll never see your pictures accidentally published on your social media account. — Safe In Your Vault — Every photo you take with GoldKey Camera is automatically moved to your GoldKey Vault cloud storage. In the vault, your photos and videos will be encrypted, backed up, and protected with GoldKey authentication. — Available Anywhere — Encrypted files stored within a GoldKey Vault are accessible from your computer, smartphone, and tablet. GoldKey’s Soft-Token technology enables access on mobile devices without compromising security. Be sure to check out the GoldKeyVault app to do even more with your vaults.

Features

Make a stop motion film with a toy and a table. Move the toy, take a picture, and use the ghost of the last frame to line up the next one. Choose a wide or tall film, set a grid or countdown, and capture silently with the screen or volume button. Focus, exposure and white balance lock so the pictures match. Reorder frames, hold a picture longer, record your voice and share a real video without a watermark. Try 3 new films and 3 full quality exports total, shared across all profiles, with no refill. Saved films stay available to capture, edit and play. One purchase adds unlimited new films and exports, title and end cards, eight sound effects, 24 fps export and green screen backdrops. Family Sharing is supported; no subscription. Existing free users receive both trial allowances once after updating. Purchases, profiles, films, frames and voice clips are preserved. Everything is made on your iPhone or iPad. Camera and voice recordings stay on the device; a video leaves only when you choose to share it. No account, ads, tracking or server. English and Spanish.
