Made for moments where you can't hold the phone steady: • Sports replays where the device is part of the action • Action sequences during skating, biking, and other activities • Physics demos and educational content • Drone-style sequences for short reels • Anywhere you want a hands-free shot triggered by motion What's in the app • 1080p 60fps capture with audio • Live G-force readout on the camera screen • Looping playback with a scrubbable motion chart, swipe up from anywhere to reopen the most recent clip • Tap once to play/pause, double-tap to switch cameras • Auto-save to Camera Roll with the motion chart drawn into the lower-left of every saved video, labeled with the peak acceleration distance in feet No ads, no accounts, no data collection. Designed for the iPhone Pro line.
