Clair is a camera app designed for dual-perspective capture. It lets you capture two different views in the same frame: the main view records the world in front of you, while a floating window shows another moment happening at the same time. Whether you’re traveling, taking selfies, watching a performance, exploring a new place, or capturing everyday fun, Clair helps every story be seen from more than one angle. You can freely choose the front or rear camera as the main view, and place the other camera inside a movable floating window. The main view and floating window can also be switched, giving you more freedom to compose every shot. Clair also supports portrait cutout in the floating window. When enabled, the subject is kept while the background becomes transparent, allowing the person to blend naturally into the main view. It’s perfect for playful perspective shots and creative compositions. For shooting, Clair supports photos, videos, and Live Photos, with exposure adjustment, video resolution and frame rate options, grid lines, a level, and volume-button shutter control. After shooting, your work can be saved to the system Photos app or kept only inside Clair. When you need separate materials for editing, Clair can also save the Picture-in-Picture result, the main view, and the floating window view at the same time.

Is the thing you want to photograph hidden behind the shutter button? Shooting a plate of food from above. Placing your child, your dog or your cat low in the frame. On the stock camera app, the shutter button can land right there. You cannot tell how it came out until you take the shot. Clear Frame Camera is a camera app that promises to keep the shutter button outside the frame. ( 1 ) The shutter never hides your frame Nothing overlaps the frame. What you see is what you get. ( 2 ) It works like the camera you know Nothing new to learn. The same gestures as the stock camera, doing the same things. - Tap to focus and set exposure - Pinch to zoom - Flash (auto / on / off) - Timer (3s / 10s) - Grid - Photos and videos save straight to your photo library ( 3 ) Settings step aside while you shoot The gear in the top corner opens flash, timer, ratio, grid and exposure in one panel. Close it and the wide view is back. While you are shooting, settings never sit over the frame. ( 4 ) Pro (one-time purchase) A single purchase unlocks these features. There is no monthly fee. - Video recording (HD / 4K, 24 / 30 / 60 fps) - 16:9 and 1:1 aspect ratios - Live Photos - Exposure compensation Photo capture stays free forever, whether or not you buy it. ( 5 ) We collect nothing No ads. No usage analytics. The photos and videos you take are only saved to the photo library on your device.
