Slapstick is the best way to stick it to boring by sticker bombing your living space, AR-style. Each sticker comes with a unique sound effect and animation loop, so you can layer up stickers to create visual and audible compositions for social media. Stick ‘em to walls, floors, pets, screens—or even mid-air! Stickers stay in space where you slap them, so you can build entire animated scenes to walk through, experience, record and share. SLAP and STICK Slapstick leverages ARKit’s ability to track surfaces, objects and environments as you move your phone around. Drag a sticker off the in-app tray and slap it onto a surface, and it sticks in place. You also have the ability to rotate, flip, and toggle the stickers within z-space—allowing for precise placement when crafting the AR world around you. SHARE or SAVE In-app functionality enables you to share your recordings seamlessly to social media, or save them straight to your phone. EXPLORE Slapstick has a whole range of themed sticker packs to choose from, and they’re all free. Each pack is full of unique stickers, designed to layer and build together for never-ending creativity.

About

Live2play

Features

Live2play turns your iPhone into a camera built for playing, not for filming. Open it and the camera is already live, vertical and in focus. One big button starts the take. When you stop, the clip is already in your Photos. Nothing stands between the idea and the record button — because inspiration leaves while you fiddle with settings. ONE-TAP REEL • Vertical camera, live the moment the app opens. • One button = start/stop. Clips auto-save to their own album. • Tap anywhere to focus and meter there, lock exposure, nudge EV. • Start a take from a hardware button or a Siri shortcut. THE SOUND YOU ACTUALLY WANT • Choose your input: built-in mic, a USB-C interface, or Bluetooth. • Or send a clean master mix from your computer over WiFi and record that instead of room noise — no more phone-mic mush over a good performance. • Other apps keep playing, so you can monitor while you record. YOUR BODY BECOMES THE INSTRUMENT • Body, hand and face tracking runs entirely on the device and draws a live overlay on top of you. • Map your movement to the built-in synth and play it by moving. • Or send gesture MIDI to your computer over the local network and drive your own rig. LOOPS AND COLLAGE • Layer takes into a synced loop grid — in phase, with time-stretch. • Arrange the loops as a collage and burn the result into the recording. GO LIVE • Push the take straight to YouTube Live, or any RTMP/RTMPS server you point it at. EDIT ON THE PHONE • Trim, merge and re-render your clips without leaving the app. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no ads. Camera frames are analysed on your iPhone and are never uploaded. The app sends a single anonymous launch counter (a random install id, never your identity or content) so we know it is being used. Nothing else leaves the device unless you start a live stream to a server you chose yourself. Requires iPhone with iOS 17 or later.
