A black screen for less glare. Silent photos for quieter moments. Screet puts discreet photo and video controls within reach, so you can choose your camera setup and capture at your own pace. BLACK SCREEN CAMERA Keep the capture screen black or dim the display to reduce the bright camera preview. Choose the look that suits the moment while keeping control of when a photo or recording begins. Black screen changes the capture interface only; the iOS camera and microphone indicators remain visible. SILENT PHOTOS Silent Capture creates a still photo from a live video frame without the usual shutter sound. This Screet Pro mode is for photos, not silent video. Video may record microphone audio when you grant permission. Silent Capture does not use flash. YOUR CAMERA, YOUR CONTROLS • Switch between the front and rear cameras. • Choose photo or video and your save destination before capture. • Select HD or 4K, with 30 or 60 FPS on supported devices and formats. • Adjust zoom up to 5× where supported. • Use flash in compatible standard photo mode. Available resolution, frame rate, zoom and flash depend on your iPhone, selected camera and capture format. OPEN THE CAMERA, THEN CAPTURE Widgets and shortcuts open the capture screen; they never start recording automatically. You start and stop capture yourself. Screet must stay open in the foreground and does not record in the background or while your iPhone is locked. Standard photos are free. Video recording, Silent Capture and advanced controls such as 4K and 60 FPS require Screet Pro. Plan details and pricing are shown in the app. Capture with the necessary consent and follow local laws and venue rules.
