Read full description

This camera can capture afterimages of people with AI. It is possible to capture images as if a ninja had transformed into a shadow. Since AI is used to determine the person, no afterimages will be left on objects or animals other than the person. Afterimages can be added to videos that have already been shot, or afterimages can be added in real time. You can also choose to register the video with an afterimage in the photo library.

Sound Effects Board turns your phone into a real sound board. Tap a pad and the sound fires instantly — no loading, no delay — and it plays even on silent, so a prank never dies because your ringer switch was off. Meme, Prank & Funny Sounds are just the beginning. Browse 7,500+ professional sound effects across 20 categories — Comedy, Gaming, Podcast, Action, Voices, Animals, Engines, Sci-Fi, Sports, Cinematic, Ambiance, Music, DJ, Loops, Stream Alerts, Reactions, Transitions, Halloween, Christmas and New Year. Air horn blasts, cartoon boings, buzzers, applause, movie-style booms and stream alerts, all one tap away. Fire up to four sound buttons at once and layer them: an air horn over a drum loop, laughter under a rimshot. 100 NEW SOUNDS EVERY MONTH This soundboard app doesn't stand still. Every month has its own themed pack — Halloween Horror, Cinematic Trailer, Christmas, New Year Party, April Fools, Retro Arcade — 100 fresh sounds that open week by week, every Thursday. New sounds wear a NEW badge for a week, so you always know what just dropped. FULL SOUND CONTROL, FREE Every pad has real pitch and speed control, adjustable volume, loop and fade. No paywall on the fun part. LOOP STATION Build loops on the beat. Set a tempo, turn on the metronome and record 1, 2, 4 or 8 bars — recording starts on the next bar and every loop closes without a gap. Stack up to 8 layers, undo or mute any of them, and your pad hits snap to the grid. Save the loop to My Sounds and it lands on your board as a new pad. BUILD YOUR OWN BOARDS Be your own soundboard maker. Create boards with your own names, icons, colors and animated backgrounds. Give every button a label and an icon, drag pads into the order you want, and add pages as your board grows. Or start from a ready-made template for podcasting, streaming, theater or parties. RECORD, IMPORT, TRANSFORM Record your own audio, import files from your library, or run a clip through the built-in voice changer. Turn any sound into a custom ringtone in seconds. Record your board while you play it — every pad, every layer — and it lands in My Sounds as a new pad. Play it back, stack more pads on top and record again to build a full track. BUILT FOR YOUR WHOLE SETUP Control playback from the Lock Screen — free, always. Watch a loop run in Live Activity and Dynamic Island, trigger pads from a Home Screen widget without opening the app, or fire a sound with Siri. Plug into a TV or projector with HDMI or AirPlay and your board fills the screen, every hit lighting up as you play it from your phone. SHARE & SYNC Send any sound to a friend straight from the library or from a pad, export a board and share it, or sync every board across your devices with optional Apple sign-in. No account is ever required to use the app. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE Fully localized in 35 languages — from English, German, French and Spanish to Turkish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Pro also unlocks performance recording and Big Screen. FREE VS PREMIUM Free gives you 2 boards, 9 sound buttons per board, 80 offline sounds, 2 simultaneous sounds and every sound control — with no ads, ever.
