handclaim is a camera app. an ode to skateboard filming, built around the way filmers have always claimed a make: a hand thrown in front of the lens. Film the clip. Throw your hand at the lens. Recording stops and the clip saves to your camera roll on its own. Stop recording without a claim and the clip is deleted. Nothing to sort through later — only the makes survive. - Hand detection runs entirely on your device, using Apple's Vision framework - No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no tracking - No server and no network requests: nothing you record ever leaves your phone An ode to skateboard filming in the age of the VX1000 and MiniDV tapes.
