FlowCam is a pauseable camera that allows you to record, trim, and merge multiple clips, then download all as 1 video (with NO watermarks) While recording you can pause, then record some more. After recording, you can trim individual segments of your video, rearrange segments, and then download them into a single video. When editing individual segments, you can "mirror" the segment (so it flips the opposite way), which makes it perfect for creating those social media videos where you are talking to yourself. You can also upload videos from your phone to combine with your recorded segments. Your projects get saved, so you can record some segments, and then come back to it at any later time. The app is free, and there are NO watermarks.

About

Authara

Features
Read full description

Authara is a premium authenticator app that does something no other app does: it keeps your recovery codes right next to the accounts they protect. Most people lose their recovery codes. They paste them in a notes app, screenshot them, or skip saving them entirely. Then their phone is lost or reset, and they're locked out — not just from the authenticator, but from the account itself. Authara fixes that. AUTHENTICATOR + RECOVERY VAULT Add any account that supports standard two-factor authentication. Authara shows you a live TOTP code with a real-time countdown. Tap to copy. And right there, alongside the code, is a secure place to store the recovery codes that came with it. SECURITY YOU CAN TRUST Your vault is encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Your PIN is never stored — it's used to derive your encryption key using Argon2id, the gold standard for password hashing. Authara uses platform-native cryptography: CryptoKit on iOS, the same APIs Apple uses for banking and healthcare applications. Nothing leaves your device. FACE ID AND PIN UNLOCK Unlock instantly with Face ID or Touch ID. Your PIN is always available as a fallback. Biometric is a convenience layer — your vault's cryptographic foundation is always your PIN. BUILT WITH HONEST DEFAULTS - No account required - No cloud sync in V1 — your vault lives on this device - No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs - Clipboard cleared automatically after 60 seconds - App content hidden in the app switcher Authara is for people who take security seriously but don't want to sacrifice simplicity to get it.
