Read full descriptionHide full description
Not getting the photo you want? The composition feels off, the angle doesn’t work, and it’s hard to explain what to adjust. With OneSnap!, you can preview your partner’s camera in real time. See the frame before the photo is taken, guide the pose and composition, and stop guessing. OneSnap! recreates the “remote preview + shutter” experience from Apple Watch, but extends it to two phones: You see the frame here. They shoot over there. Clear communication, better photos, together. --------------- Use Cases - Collaborative Shooting The person being photographed can view the live camera preview on their own device. Both of you see the same frame, adjust together, and get better results faster. - Assisted Selfies Set the phone in place and use the other device to preview and press the shutter. Take natural, well-framed selfies — even when you’re on your own. - Extended Perspectives One device previews, the other captures. Move the shooting phone to high angles, low angles, or tight spaces while still seeing the view. Discover new angles and more creative compositions. - Additional Scenarios · Photograph animals from a distance without disturbing them · Use remote shutter to reduce shake · Group photos without walking back and forth Flexible for everyday shooting situations. --------------- Core Features - Live Shared Camera Preview Shooting and preview are synchronized so both sides see the current frame. - Remote Shutter Control Either person can take the photo from their own device, making it easy to capture the right moment together. - Private Peer-to-Peer Connection OneSnap! uses direct device-to-device communication. No remote servers. No uploads. The camera feed never leaves your devices. --------------- Every photo is a shared decision. Every shot is a shared moment. OneSnap! — Capture together.

Shared Camera turns two phones into a camera and a live viewer. One phone shoots, the other sees the picture in real time, over your own Wi-Fi or a phone's hotspot. HOW IT WORKS • On the viewing phone, tap "Receive Video" to show a QR code • On the shooting phone, tap "Send Camera" and scan it • Connected in seconds. No account, no sign-in WHAT YOU CAN DO • Watch the camera live, with sound • Zoom and switch between front and back cameras from either phone • Take photos and record videos with sound, saved to the Photos library of the phone you tap on • Turn the microphone on or off from either phone • Controls hide on their own for a clean, full-screen view GOOD FOR • Framing a shot when you can't see the camera's screen • Setting up tripod shots, low angles and group photos • Showing what one phone sees to someone nearby PRIVATE BY DESIGN Video travels directly between the two paired phones on your local network. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and there is no account to create. GOOD TO KNOW • Both phones need to be on the same Wi-Fi, or one phone shares a hotspot with the other • Some public Wi-Fi networks keep devices apart; use a home network or a hotspot instead • Works on iPhone and iPad, in 20 languages
