Features
Read full description

BurstWizard is a hands-free burst camera for iPhone and iPad. Set it down, walk into frame, and it fires full-quality photos back-to-back until you stop it. iOS has no good answer to "photograph this group, and I am in it." The self-timer gives you one frame and one chance. Holding down the shutter keeps a hand on the phone. A Bluetooth remote is another thing to own and another thing visible in the picture. BurstWizard works differently: prop your phone up, frame the shot, tap to focus, tap the shutter, and a countdown gives you time to get into position. Then the burst runs — until you stop it, or until it stops itself. THREE MODES - Max: every frame the device can deliver, as fast as it can deliver it. For the group photo — the most frames around the moment. - Paced: one frame every 0.5 to 10 seconds. For children and animals, where the moment worth having arrives sometime in the next minute. - Timed: fire for a set duration, then stop and save without being told. Removes the walk back to the phone. BUILT FOR ACROSS THE ROOM - Tap to focus and expose, with AE/AF lock — framing is settled before you leave the phone - Sound and haptics while capturing; a visual cue takes over when both are off - A capacity estimate tells you how many shots fit before you start EVERY FRAME IS KEPT Photos land in your library as they are taken — not held until the end — and arrive as a single burst stack, ready to pick through. If a capture is ever interrupted, everything shot up to that point is saved. PRIVATE BY DESIGN BurstWizard collects nothing. No accounts, no analytics, and no network access at all — your photos never leave your device. Free, with no in-app purchases and no ads. Requires iPhone or iPad with iOS 26.0 or later.

The call
