Find your other iPhone or iPad in the nearby list, tap to connect, and accept the invitation. You can also enable auto-accept for nearby invitations. SEE AND CONTROL THE CAMERA Watch the live camera view, switch between the other device's front and back cameras, and take photos remotely. When both devices have a camera, they can share their views with each other. KEEP THE ORIGINAL PHOTO Browse your photos in the app, zoom in to check the details, save to your photo library, or share the original image with the iOS share sheet. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Use an iPhone as the camera and an iPad as the viewfinder, or connect two iPhones.

About

Traxxtar Videoview

VideoView is a fast, tap-to-record video camera app for iPhone and iPad. Tap anywhere on screen to start recording, tap again to stop — the clip immediately opens into an auto-looping playback screen with pinch-zoom/pan review and a scrubbable filmstrip. Intended users: anyone who wants frictionless video capture and instant review without fumbling through a camera app's buttons and modes — quick reference clips, informal documentation, personal recording where speed matters more than manual controls. It replaces the extra taps and screens of the stock Camera app when all you want is tap, record, review, save. FEATURES Tap-to-record No record button to find, no mode dial to set. Tap anywhere on the full-screen live preview to start recording, tap anywhere to stop. A simple pulsing indicator shows you're rolling — that's the entire interface. Instant, auto-looping playback The moment you stop recording, your clip opens and starts looping automatically — no save-then-open delay, no intermediate screen. Pinch, pan, and scrub Pinch to zoom in on the playing video and drag to pan around while zoomed. Tap and drag the filmstrip at the bottom to scrub through the clip frame by frame; playback pauses while you scrub and holds exactly where you left it. Resolution and frame rate control Choose 720p, 1080p, or 4K, and up to 60fps, matched to what your device's camera actually supports. A small on-screen readout during playback confirms the real resolution and frame rate captured in the file — not just what was requested. One-tap save Save the clip straight into its own "VideoView" album in your Photos library, created automatically the first time you save. Built for speed Prevent-sleep keeps the screen awake while you work. Dismiss-after-saving automatically returns you to the camera once a save completes, so you're ready for the next take immediately. Focus lock and a composition grid are one tap away. PRIVACY VideoView makes no internet connections, collects no data, shows no ads, and has no account or login. It uses only your camera, microphone, and Photos library — nothing else, and nothing ever leaves your device. For iPhone and iPad. Landscape only.
