Home movies are back, and this time everyone gets to hold the camera. VideoBro is a collaborative video app that combines videos from multiple iPhones into one chronological film. Start a tape, invite the people who were there, and everyone records from their own phone. VideoBro collects every clip, keeps everything in the order it happened, and develops the tape into one finished movie. No editing timeline. No chasing people for their videos. No folder full of random clips. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a tape for a trip, wedding, birthday, sports season, family gathering, or everyday life. 2. Tap REC and film normally with your iPhone camera. Horizontal clips land on the tape automatically, ordered by when they were shot and credited to whoever filmed them. 3. Invite up to 7 people with a link or QR code. They can add to the tape without creating an account. 4. Already have footage? Add Clips brings in horizontal videos from your camera roll and places them where they belong in the story. 5. Tap Develop. VideoBro combines everyone’s clips into one widescreen film in the cloud, and everyone on the tape gets a copy. COMBINE VIDEOS FROM MULTIPLE PHONES After a trip, party, wedding, or game, the best videos are usually scattered across everyone’s camera rolls. VideoBro gives the group one shared tape while everyone keeps using their own iPhone. Instead of collecting files later, the film builds as people record. If you want to combine videos from multiple phones, collect videos from friends, or turn scattered camera-roll clips into one movie, VideoBro does the organizing for you. ONE FILM, IN THE ORDER IT HAPPENED A shared video album collects clips. A VideoBro tape turns them into a story. Everyone’s point of view lands on the same tape in real chronological order, so you can watch the day, trip, season, or year take shape as clips come in. EDIT LESS. KEEP MORE. VideoBro keeps editing intentionally simple: Swipe to remove a clip. Press and hold to trim one. That’s it. No complicated timeline, filters, titles, or rearranging reality. Your original videos stay untouched, because making a home movie shouldn’t become another project. MAKE IT FEEL LIKE HOME VIDEO Switch on VHS Mode to watch any finished film with an analog look and sound. It’s a playback toggle, never a filter baked into your original footage. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your life doesn’t need an audience. Tapes are invite-only. There’s no public profile, discovery feed, like count, or algorithm deciding who sees what. When you want to share a finished film, send a private unlisted link. Anyone you choose can watch in a browser on any device, with no app or account required. Tap Stop Sharing and the link turns off. YOUR TAPE CABINET Finished films live in your Tape Cabinet instead of disappearing into thousands of camera-roll clips. Choose covers, organize films onto shelves by person, year, or place, hide a shelf behind Face ID, save films to your camera roll, or watch your cabinet on the web. Over time, it becomes a collection of the people and places that made up your life. MADE FOR • Trips, vacations, and weekends away • Weddings, bachelor and bachelorette parties • Birthdays, holidays, and family get-togethers • Kids’ sports seasons and game days • Family videos and everyday memories • Sharing moments privately with grandparents and relatives FREE TO START Start with 2 GB of space, roughly an hour of footage, with developing included. No trial and no credit card. Everyone records. VideoBro puts it together. The best moments usually weren’t made for the internet. Keep them anyway.
