Ever wish someone could just film your games for you? That's the whole idea behind Hoop Cam AI. Prop your iPhone on a tripod, point it at the court, and it does the rest. It finds the ball and the players, then zooms in and follows the action on its own. Tight on whoever has the ball, then pulling back wide when a shot goes up. Like having a camera operator who never gets tired. It films two angles at the same time: the close-up AI zoom that tracks the play, and the full wide shot of the whole court. Both save straight to your phone (and show up in the Files app), so you can go back and watch everything after. Made for open gyms. If there are other balls bouncing around on the next court, it stays locked on the one in the actual game — the one closest to you with the most players around it. Instead of jumping all over the place. You can also outline your court once so it ignores anything in the background. No accounts. No cloud. No sign-up. Everything happens on your device, and nothing you film ever leaves your phone. Set it down, hit record, and go play.
