Stop recording long videos to find a few seconds worth keeping. ClipBack keeps a rolling video buffer, so when something great happens you can tap after the moment and save the last 10, 20, or 30 seconds straight to Photos. Only the moment, no clutter. Then turn those clips into a highlight reel in one tap, ready to post. Perfect for youth sports, family milestones, pets, trips, and everyday moments you cannot predict. HOW IT WORKS Open ClipBack and watch the moment. When something happens, tap a save button. ClipBack reaches back in time and saves the highlight. Pick your best clips and ClipBack builds the reel. No huge camera-roll clutter. No trimming long videos later. No guessing exactly when to hit record. ONE-TAP HIGHLIGHT REELS Tap the clips you want, in the order you want them, and ClipBack stitches them into one reel with smooth crossfades - ready for Instagram, TikTok, or the team group chat. No editing app, no timeline, no export settings. Every clip lands in the Recent Clips gallery - the last 24 hours, 48 hours, or week in one place - and you can add any video from Photos, including clips filmed on someone else's phone. Want more control? The Advanced Reel Builder adds per-clip trimming, reframing, your team logo, and 9:16 or 1:1. FREE FEATURES Rolling video buffer Save the last 10, 20, or 30 seconds Save directly to Photos Quickly share or favorite your last saved clip Precision one-handed zoom One-tap highlight reels with crossfades Recent Clips gallery - the last 24 hours, 48 hours, or week Add any video from Photos to the gallery PRO INCLUDED FREE FOR 30 DAYS ClipBack's core camera is free. Your first 30 days include Pro access, so you can try the full workflow at games, practices, and everyday surprises. No auto-renewal. No surprise charge. PRO FEATURES Advanced Reel Builder Trim each clip, reframe the action - a still crop, a glide from start to end, or a pan you record with your finger - add your team logo, and export 9:16 or 1:1 for social. AI Auto Save Listens for big moments and saves clips automatically while the camera keeps rolling. Video Quality 1080p for sharing, 60fps for smoother fast action, 4K for cropping and TV. 4K and 60fps toggle independently. Still Photo Button Take photos while the rolling buffer keeps running. Remote Trigger Save from Apple Watch, Bluetooth remotes, or the volume-up button. Custom Clip Durations Set the three save buttons to the lengths you actually need. Team Logo Add a team logo to saved clips and reels. The built-in background remover cleans up most badges. Enhanced Zoom Get 50% extra reach when the action is far away and framing matters. Custom Startup Zoom Open the camera already framed at your preferred zoom. Grid Lines A rule-of-thirds guide for framing the field, court, or stage. Slo-Mo / Fast-Mo Export slower for review or faster for recaps. Mute Audio Remove background noise from clips before sharing. Front Camera Flip Record your own reaction or commentary without leaving the app. Endurance Mode Dim the screen and cap quality to last an all-day tournament. Buffer Timer See how many seconds the buffer is holding right now. Focus Lock Press and hold to lock focus and exposure on the action. Lens Lock Pin the camera to one lens so it never switches on its own. Multi-lens iPhones only. Auto-Trim on Raise Starts your saved clip where you lifted the phone, so it doesn't open on seconds of grass before the action. Whether it's a winning goal, a first step, or a moment no one saw coming, ClipBack helps you save it after it happens. Watch the moment. Save the highlight.
