PreRoll is a countdown camera app that captures automatically — so you're always in the shot. Set a timer, tap Start, and PreRoll opens the camera with a full-screen countdown overlay. When it hits zero, it takes the photo or begins recording the video. No shutter lag, no rushing back to the camera, no wasted footage of you just getting ready. HOW IT WORKS - Photo mode: one shot is taken at the end of the countdown and saved to your gallery - Video mode: recording starts automatically at zero — you tap Stop when done, then the clip saves COUNTDOWN OPTIONS - Presets: 5s, 10s, 15s, 30s, 60s - Custom timer: set anything from 1 to 120 seconds CAPTURE FEATURES - Full-screen camera preview with countdown overlay - Per-second haptic ticks so you feel every second (can be disabled) - Rear LED pulses during countdown as a visual cue - Solid torch mode for rear video — light stays on while recording - Photo flash: Off, Auto, or On - Front and rear camera support - Screen stays awake during capture - Countdown cancels automatically if you leave the app SIMPLE AND FOCUSED PreRoll does one thing well.
