Capture with less screen glare and more control. Screet is a black screen camera for intentional photos and user-started video when a bright preview would distract from the moment. Use it at events, on trips, in meetings or lectures with permission, and anywhere a low-distraction camera workflow feels more comfortable. BLACK SCREEN CAMERA Choose a true black capture screen, keep essential controls visible, or dim the display for a cleaner view. Black screen changes the visible appearance and brightness only. Screet stays open in the foreground, and iOS camera and microphone indicators continue to work normally. SILENT PHOTOS Silent Capture is a Screet Pro photo mode. It takes a snapshot from the live camera frame without the usual shutter sound. Silent Capture is for photos only; video is not silent. Video may include microphone audio after you grant permission. DISCREET VIDEO CONTROLS Start recording yourself with a clear action, then stop when you are done. Choose the front or rear camera, adjust zoom up to 5× when supported, and use standard flash photos when available. Select HD or 4K and record at 30 or 60 FPS on compatible devices and formats. 4K and 60 FPS depend on the iPhone model, camera, lighting and selected format. FOREGROUND BY DESIGN Screet does not record in the background, on a locked phone, or automatically. A Home Screen or Lock Screen widget, shortcut, Siri/App Shortcut phrase or deep link opens capture mode; it never starts a photo or video for you. Camera and microphone permissions are requested clearly, and capture begins only after your action. Screet is built for considerate, consent-based camera use. Follow local laws, venue rules and the expectations of people around you. Screet Pro unlocks Silent Capture and additional camera controls. Pricing and availability are shown in the app. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ELRO Smartcam at none against Screet's 3. ELRO Smartcam also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Screet's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
