GCam is a hands-free action camera. It uses the iPhone's motion sensor to detect G-force events and starts recording automatically — capture begins the moment acceleration spikes, and stops shortly after motion settles. Made for moments where you can't hold the phone steady: • Sports replays where the device is part of the action • Action sequences during skating, biking, and other activities • Physics demos and educational content • Drone-style sequences for short reels • Anywhere you want a hands-free shot triggered by motion What's in the app • 1080p 60fps capture with audio • Live G-force readout on the camera screen • Looping playback with a scrubbable motion chart, swipe up from anywhere to reopen the most recent clip • Tap once to play/pause, double-tap to switch cameras • Auto-save to Camera Roll with the motion chart drawn into the lower-left of every saved video, labeled with the peak acceleration distance in feet No ads, no accounts, no data collection. Designed for the iPhone Pro line.

LivePose

Your iPhone has been recording the moment after the pose all along. Every Live Photo hides three seconds of real, unedited life — the laugh, the wind, the stumble. LivePose turns that hidden clip into a vertical video you can actually post. Here is what happens: your full-resolution photo holds on screen, a camera flash fires, and the moment comes alive with its own sound. WHAT YOU CAN MAKE • The Reveal — the perfect pose, then what really happened • Cinematic — a long, slow hold with a gentle push in • Vlog — quick cut, sharp shutter flash, punchy colour • Retro — a VHS look with the date burned into the corner • Raw — just the motion, nothing added BUILT FOR VERTICAL • 9:16, square, or the original shape • Landscape shots sit on a soft blurred backdrop instead of black bars • Decide exactly how long the still frame holds • Keep the real audio, or mute it and add music later COLOUR THAT LOOKS SHOT, NOT FILTERED Fade, Noir, Golden, Cool, Vivid, VHS and Mono. Each one is built from real colour grading — temperature, tone curves, vignette — not a coloured layer dropped on top. Dial the strength up or down until it looks the way the moment felt. IT FIXES WHAT THE CAMERA GOT WRONG Photos taken from above, or with the orientation lock on, often come out sideways. LivePose looks at the picture itself and turns it upright. YOUR LIBRARY STAYS YOURS LivePose never asks to read your photo library. You pick one Live Photo, it is opened for that single job, and everything is processed on your device. Nothing is uploaded. No account, no tracking, no ads. LIVEPOSE PRO One purchase, yours for good. No subscription. • Export without the watermark • Merge several Live Photos into one continuous video • The complete colour filter set • The retro date stamp • Every feature added in future updates No Live Photos on this phone yet?
