Your Portable Private Camera Vault There are moments when you just want to record quietly—without curious onlookers peeking at your screen, and without leaving any traces in the cloud. Kemra is built to protect your privacy in every shot—letting you capture discreetly and securely in any situation, with all files stored locally, like a personal safe with a password lock. Shoot Discreetly, Shoot with Confidence Stealth Preview Mode: Instantly switch to a black screen or clock face. While recording, the screen no longer shows the viewfinder—keeping prying eyes away while saving battery. It's like your phone is in standby mode; no one can tell you're recording. Background Disguise Mode: Choose any photo from your gallery as the camera background, making the shooting interface look just like browsing photos. Completely prevents others from accidentally seeing your screen. Picture-in-Picture & Split-Screen: Front and rear cameras work simultaneously. Switch freely between picture-in-picture, top-bottom split, and left-right split views. The small window is draggable and adjustable in real-time during recording—perfect for multi-angle capture without switching lenses, discreetly achieving professional-level recording. Absolutely Local, Absolutely Private Encrypted Local Storage: All captured files are saved directly to your phone's local gallery and the app's private directory. A private gallery requires a password to access—even if you lend your phone to someone, there's no need to worry about them browsing your content. Anti-Snooping Design: The private gallery is completely isolated from the system gallery. Unless you allow it, your captured content won't mix into your regular photo stream. Only you know where they are. Perfect For These Moments: Recording unexpected events in public without drawing attention by holding up your phone. Private meetings, lecture notes, or capturing inspiration—when you need to focus without screen distractions. Home security, evidence collection, or personal safety records that require silent operation and absolute file confidentiality. Any scenario where you don't want others to know you're recording. Privacy Commitment We promise: we collect no personal information, upload nothing, and share nothing. Your data is entirely under your control—we simply provide the tools and never inquire about your content. Please use this app only in lawful situations that respect the privacy of others, and comply with local laws and regulations. ******Subscription Service****** The app offers subscription services at $3.99/month, $19.99/year, and $24.99 for lifetime membership.
