Prewind

Prewind is always a few seconds ahead of you — because it's already a few seconds behind. Open the app and the camera starts remembering. There's no Record button to miss the moment with. When something happens — a trick that landed, a close call, a joke that caught you off guard — tap Instant Capture, and Prewind saves the seconds that already happened, not the ones still coming. REC now includes the past. • Always buffering — the moment is already saved before you even reach for your phone • Works natively on iPhone and iPad, in portrait or landscape — rotate mid-buffer and Prewind keeps recording right through it • Free 10-second buffer, no catch, no watermark • Prewind Pro (one-time purchase, no subscription) unlocks 20, 30, 60 and 120-second buffers and ongoing recording after the capture. • Slow motion capture at 1080p120 for the moments worth seeing twice • Capture with the volume, Action or Camera Control button — no need to even look at the screen • Optional overlays for timestamp, location, weather and season — off by default, on when you want the receipt • Clips save straight to your Photos library. No account, no cloud, no ads. Whatever just happened, it's already in the can.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Prewind at every 2 weeks against Capt's every 13 months. Capt's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
