About

Capture life in a loopy way. Loopski isn't just another camera app. It's a small creative studio that fits in your pocket. Hold anywhere on the screen to record, so you're never hunting for a button while the moment happens, and every take adds a segment to the ring. Let go, reframe, shoot again. When the ring fills, your takes stitch into one seamless loop that plays forever. Short clips are the point. Shoot fast, keep moving, and end up with something you'd have missed if you had to think about it. Six seconds out of the box, the way loops are meant to feel, or open Settings and set any length you like, all the way to ten minutes. And that's where it gets creative. Looks that live inside the frame Arm an effect and it renders live in the viewfinder, then bakes into the shot exactly as you saw it. Melt a scene in with blur, bloom it into a dream, or crush it into pixels. Fold the world through a mirror, tile it, square it, or wind it into a twirl. Every take can carry its own look, so a single loop can swing from clean to wild and back. Camera moves without a tripod Pick a move and the lens animates itself while you record. Push in slow for tension, pull out for the reveal, snap a whip, or bounce a yo-yo. It looks like you had a whole crew, and it was one thumb. Stop-motion, a frame at a time Turn on onion skin and a faint ghost of your last frame floats over the live preview, so the next one lands in exactly the right place. Build it frame by frame and watch it come to life. Pair it with a fixed shot length for even, animated frames. Shoot to a song Every copy of Loopski ships with its own library of tracks, made for the app. Pick one in the camera and it plays while you shoot, so you can film to the beat, cut on the rhythm, and land your last take on the drop. Start with the song and the shot writes itself. And because the music is ours, your loop is clear of copyright claims. No muted uploads, no strikes. Shoot hands free from your wrist Prop your phone on a stand and drive the whole shoot from your Apple Watch. Hold to record like a remote shutter, or switch to stop-motion and tap once per frame. Just you, in the frame, one tap at a time. Only the edits you actually need No timeline, no layers, no afternoon lost in a scrubber. A take that didn't work gets deleted on its own. Trim the whole loop, or trim one scene inside it, with two handles and nothing else. Changed your mind later? Open a loop from your gallery and add to it, or put music on it. The shot is the work. Editing is just the tidy-up. Hang your best work on the art wall The art wall is the gallery everyone shares. It's where a loop goes when it stops being a test and turns into something you're proud of. But nothing gets there by itself. Your loops live on your iPhone, save to your camera roll, and stay private until you decide otherwise. Posting is one loop at a time, always a deliberate choice, and you can pull a loop back down whenever you like. Likes without the numbers Tap a loop and a heart appears. No counters, no leaderboards, one heart per person. Follow the people whose work you want to keep seeing, a follow is a request the other person accepts. Less metrics, more making. The rest of the kit: classic focal lengths (24, 28, 35mm), fixed or ramping shot length, recording up to 4K at 30 or 60 fps, your own page at loopski.art, and auto-save to Photos at full quality. Download Loopski and capture life in a loopy way. The best ideas aren’t planned. They’re discovered. Terms of Use (EULA): https://camerades.app/loopsky-privacy-terms#terms
