SUBCAM

Read full description

SUBCAM is a camera that burns live captions right into your video as you shoot. Speak while recording and your words appear on screen in real time โ€” and they are baked into the saved video. No editing, no exporting to another app. KEY FEATURES - Live Speech Captions On-device speech recognition turns your voice into subtitles the moment you speak โ€” captions appear live even before you start recording. Supports Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, and more. - On-Device Translation (iOS 18 or later) Speak in one language, caption in another. Real-time translation runs entirely on device, no internet connection required. Switch it on with one tap from the capture screen. - AI Scene Captions Point the camera at anything and AI describes what it sees, as short words or full sentences. Bring your own API key for Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, connect a local LLM, or use Apple Intelligence fully on device. You can even choose the exact model for each provider. - Cinematic Looks Switch between Standard, CinemaScope (2.39:1 letterbox), Cinematic tone, and Monochrome with one tap, right above the shutter. Letterbox color is customizable. - Style Captions While You Shoot Tap the "Aa" button to change caption size, position (top / center / bottom / danmaku barrage), and font โ€” with a live preview behind the panel. Five fonts including Japanese Gothic and Mincho. - A Camera That Feels Familiar Standard camera layout: big shutter, recent-clip thumbnail, 0.5x/1x lens switch, pinch zoom, tap to focus. Non-essential controls fade away while recording so you can focus on the shot. FREE - 1080p 30fps recording (with a small #SUBCAM watermark) - All caption features: speech captions, AI captions, translation - All looks, caption styling, and fonts SUBCAM PRO (one-time purchase) - 4K and 60fps recording - HDR video - Exposure adjustment - Removes the #SUBCAM watermark Perfect for vlogs, street snaps, interviews, travel videos, language learning, and accessibility โ€” shoot once, share immediately, captions included.

About

Atelier Post

Read full description

Your artwork deserves more than a quick phone photo and a caption. Atelier Post is a small, beautiful studio for presenting your work the way it should be seen โ€” framed with care, organized as a series, and ready to share as an image or a video. No account, no clutter, nothing leaves your device. FRAME EVERY PIECE Drop in a photo and it's set in a clean, minimal frame with your title, medium, date and signature โ€” at its true proportions, never cropped. MAKE IT YOURS Adjust exposure, contrast, saturation and warmth. Straighten, fix perspective, lift a plain background. Sign it your way โ€” type it, draw it by hand, or import your real signature. TELL A BIGGER STORY Gather works into a grid or a 3ร—3 mural, give the set a title and a concept, and apply one consistent look across the series โ€” so it reads as a body of work, not scattered posts. BRING IT TO LIFE Turn a series into a slideshow video for Reels and Stories โ€” with gentle motion, rhythm presets, transitions and a line of text over your work. Export a high-resolution image or MP4, or share straight to Instagram. QUIET BY DESIGN Eight languages. Works offline. No account, no tracking โ€” your art stays on your device, always. Built for artists who think in series, not just single posts.
