Record the front and back cameras at the same time. DualCam composites both feeds as you shoot, so what you see on screen is what lands in your photo library. There's no export step to wait through. BOTH CAMERAS, ONE TAKE Film your reaction and what you're reacting to. Capture the room and your face. Shoot an interview where both sides are actually in frame. DualCam runs both iPhone cameras in a single capture session and writes the combined result as you shoot. A TELEPROMPTER THAT ACTUALLY FITS Paste your script, set the scroll speed and text size, and read straight down the lens while both cameras record. Set it to start scrolling the moment you hit record. The teleprompter never appears in the finished video - it's on your screen only. FOUR LAYOUTS, SWITCHED IN ONE TAP • Picture-in-Picture — one feed full screen, the other in a movable window • Split — both feeds, equal halves • Front Camera — solo selfie, pairs naturally with the teleprompter • Back Camera — solo rear, with the lens controls and torch in reach MOVE IT WHILE YOU'RE RECORDING Drag the picture-in-picture window anywhere. Pinch to resize it. Tap to swap which camera is full screen. All of it works mid-take, and every bit of that movement is baked into the finished video. Pick a shape — portrait, square, circle, or wide — and tint the border to match your look. KEEP EVERY ANGLE Save the composite, either raw camera feed, or all three from a single take. Cut it however you want later without reshooting. Everything is added to your photo library in one go. PAUSE WITHOUT A SEAM Pause mid-take, collect yourself, and resume. DualCam stitches the timeline so the result is one continuous clip with no gap and no jump. BUILT FOR THE SHOT • Up to 4K, or drop to 1080p / 720p to save space • Lens presets built from the lenses your iPhone actually has — .5, 1x, 2, 3 • Pinch to zoom on the full-screen feed, with a live factor readout • Voice Isolation, Standard, or Wide Spectrum via the native iOS mic controls • Still photos from the primary camera without leaving the shot PRIVATE BY DEFAULT DualCam has no servers, no analytics, and no accounts. It makes no network calls at all. Your recordings go straight to your photo library and nowhere else — nothing is ever sent to us. REQUIREMENTS DualCam needs an iPhone XS or newer, because simultaneous front-and-back capture requires hardware support that earlier iPhones don't have. iOS 18 or later.
