Read full description

Shoot from every angle at the same moment - using only iPhones. SYNCAM turns a group of iPhones into one synchronized camera rig. One phone leads the session, the others join over the local network, and a single tap captures a photo or starts a video on every connected device at the same time. No cables. No external rigs. No cloud uploads to wait on. Made for the moments where one camera isn’t enough: • Weddings and family events from multiple angles • Sports, dance, and martial arts captured side-by-side • Music videos, BTS, and short films without a film crew • Real estate and product shoots with synced views • Creator multi-cam content with built-in editing What you get • Synchronized capture - clock-aligned shutter so the frames line up • Photo and video modes - switch on the lead phone, all phones follow • Live status from joined phones - see who’s connected and ready • Session gallery - every shot from every device, grouped automatically • Photo editor - pro LUT filters, brightness, contrast, saturation, color mix, highlights, shadows, sharpen, vignette, blur, and more • Video editor - trim, filters, and adjustments • AI multi-cam merge - combine clips with automatic angle switching • Collage maker - 2 to 5 photos, many layouts (grid, side-by-side, big-left, 4 corners, cross, and more) • One-tap share to Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok • Save anything to your Photos library Why people choose SYNCAM • Local network only - your sessions don’t leave your phones • No accounts to create • No rigs, mounts, or extra hardware • Works with any modern iPhone you already own How it works 1) Open SYNCAM on the main phone and start a session. 2) Open SYNCAM on the other phones and tap to join. 3) Frame your shot, pick photo or video, then tap once. Every phone fires together. 4) Review the session, edit your favorites, and share. Permissions SYNCAM uses your camera, local network, and Photos library to capture, sync, and save. Sharing to Instagram Stories, Facebook, and TikTok requires those apps to be installed. Set up your first multi-phone session in under a minute. Download SYNCAM and shoot anything from every angle, together.

HiveSync Camera

Read full description

HiveSync turns multiple iPhones and iPads into one synchronized camera array. With one device acting as the Director and the others acting as Cameras, HiveSync connects nearby Apple devices over the local network and triggers their shutters together for multi-angle captures, action shots, creative portraits, product photography, and bullet-time style photo setups. No cloud server. No complicated hardware. No extra camera rigs. Just the Apple devices you already have. Key Features • Synchronized multi-device photo capture • Director mode to control the whole camera array • Camera mode for nearby receiver devices • Local peer-to-peer connection using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth • Clock sync system for tighter capture timing • Photos saved on each Camera device and copied back to the Director • Slot assignment so each camera has a clear position in the array • Built for creators, filmmakers, photographers, and experimental shoots Short App Store Subtitle Synchronized multi-camera capture App Store Description HiveSync lets you create a synchronized camera array using nearby iPhones and iPads. Set one device as the Director, connect surrounding devices as Cameras, assign each camera to a slot, then trigger the whole array from one control screen. Captured photos are saved on the Camera device that took them and can also be transferred back to the Director device, giving you both local backups and a central shoot collection. HiveSync is designed for creative multi-angle photography, action captures, behind-the-scenes production, product shots, and experimental bullet-time style setups.
