PathWitness — Dashcam for Every Ride Whether you're cycling, riding a motorcycle, or driving, PathWitness turns your iPhone into a dedicated dashcam that watches the road so you don't have to worry. CONTINUOUS LOOP RECORDING Start recording with one tap. PathWitness records in short clips and automatically overwrites the oldest footage once your storage limit is reached, so you're always covered without managing files yourself. AUTOMATIC IMPACT DETECTION Built-in motion sensors detect sudden impacts or hard stops. When something happens, PathWitness automatically saves a dedicated event clip covering the moments before and after, precisely trimmed and protected from deletion. A short audio cue marks the exact moment of impact, so you can find it instantly during playback. GPS SPEED & ROUTE Every clip records your speed and route, so you always have the full picture of what happened and where. WIDE-ANGLE & DUAL CAMERA Switch to an ultra-wide lens on supported iPhones for a broader view of the road. Upgrade to Pro to record the outside and inside cameras at the same time, capturing the road ahead and what's happening around you together. BUILT FOR THE ROAD - Works while your phone stays mounted with the screen on - Automatically pauses and resumes recording if interrupted by a call or the app being backgrounded - Impact alerts can play even in silent mode, so you never miss one - A simple library to review, play back, and share your clips FREE FEATURES - Continuous loop recording - Automatic impact-detection event clips - GPS speed and route tracking - Playback and sharing PATHWITNESS PRO (one-time purchase) - Dual-camera recording (front and rear simultaneously) - Expanded storage (up to 64GB) - Audio recording PathWitness is built for anyone who wants peace of mind on the road, whether you're on a bike, a motorcycle, or behind the wheel.
