SlothCam is the only iOS webcam app which supports both iCloud syncing and AppleTV/Airplay (iOS5 only). SlothCam is a fully customizable webcam browser for all iOS devices. This app was inspired by my popular Mac OS Dashboard Widget and allows you to view multiple live webcam feeds on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Simply add your webcam URLs to the app, and swipe left and right to change views, just like the Apple photos app. SlothCam has a clean simple interface that allows you to view your webcams full screen. SlothCam comes with a few built in sample webcams, but the purpose of this app is for you to add your own. There is no limit to the number of cams you can add, and this app can be personalized for many possible uses. For example, you can use it to monitor local traffic conditions, check on the weather in your home town, keep an eye on surf conditions, etc. Any webcam which has a JPEG image stream is supported. You can also use SlothCam to monitor any image file on the web which is periodically updated such as satellite images, weather data, etc. SlothCam works on all Apple iOS devices. Buy one copy of SlothCam and run it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch! You can even export the settings from one of your devices and import them on the others. With SlothCam you can: •Save any webcam image directly to your device's photo album. •Save a series of webcam images. •Import and export webcam lists using email. •Migrate your settings from the Dashboard widget to the iOS app. •Enter webcam lists on your Mac or PC via a webpage and send them to the iOS app. •View your list of webcams as a slideshow. •Sync webcams between devices using iCloud syncing. •View your webcams on an external monitor or TV using AppleTV and Airplay.

I am more than happy to help. If you have any problems, I am more likely to help you via email than if you post your comment as a review.

Alarms that know when, not just at. Traditional alarm apps fire at a fixed time. RingWhen fires when life actually happens. When you arrive at the office. When sunrise breaks. When your workout ends. When a medication dose slips your mind. When your next meeting is 15 minutes out. Pick a condition. RingWhen watches in the background. When the condition is met, the alarm rings, even in Silent mode and through Focus, because RingWhen is built on Apple's AlarmKit. TEN CONDITIONS, ONE APP • Time. Classic recurring alarms with an animated flip-clock picker. Optionally anchor the alarm to a city's time zone so "9 AM in Tokyo" still wakes you in San Francisco. • Calendar. Ring 5 to 60 minutes before your next meeting. Pick which calendars to monitor and filter by minimum attendees. • Sunrise and Sunset. Fire at sunrise, sunset, solar noon, golden hour, or civil, nautical, and astronomical twilight. Drifts with the date so you never reset. • Location. Arrive at or leave any place. Custom radius from 100 m to 20 km. Uses iOS region monitoring so it works in the background without draining battery. • Battery. When battery falls below a threshold or charges past one. Useful for the 20% warning and the 80% unplug nudge. • Steps. When you hit today's step target. Reads daily totals from Apple Health. • Heart Rate. Above, below, or outside a zone you choose. Best paired with an Apple Watch. • Weather. When rain or snow starts, when temperature crosses a threshold, when wind exceeds a limit. Powered by WeatherKit. • Workout. Ring when a workout ends, or up to an hour after. Filter by activity type (running, swimming, yoga, strength, cycling) and skip short accidental recordings. Reads workouts from Apple Health. • Medication. Rings only if a dose was never logged in Apple Health. Took it already? Silence. Works for daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly medications, checked on the day you choose. BUILT FOR iOS 26 • Rings through Silent and Focus, like the built-in Clock app. • Siri and Shortcuts. Ask "What's my next alarm in RingWhen", toggle alarms by name, or create alarms from your automations. • Liquid Glass design. Custom flip-clock, sunrise scenes, animated heart pulse, live map, and step-goal ring. • Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen Live Activities, and Dynamic Island for the next alarm. • System alarm UI surfaces on a paired Apple Watch. • On-device by default. HealthKit, EventKit, and CoreLocation data stay on your phone. PRIVACY FIRST • No account. No email. No ad tracking. • Location, calendar, health, and motion data never leave your phone. • Full privacy details on the App Store privacy label and inside the in-app settings. TRY IT FREE FOR 7 DAYS RingWhen Plus unlocks every alarm condition. Start with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan. After the trial, continue on annual or switch to monthly. Pricing and currency vary by region. The in-app paywall shows your local price before you confirm. Cancel anytime in the App Store before the trial ends and you will not be charged.
