DualCam: Dual Camera Recorder Record both iPhone cameras at the same time. Front and back, in one shot, in your favorite layout — no more swapping cameras mid-take. DualCam is the most powerful dual-camera recorder for vloggers, podcasters, interviewers, and reaction creators. LAYOUTS YOU SWITCH MID-TAKE • Picture-in-Picture (front overlay) • Picture-in-Picture flipped (back overlay) • Top/bottom split • Side-by-side split • Drag the PiP anywhere on screen INTERVIEW MODE The app watches both cameras and listens — when one person starts talking, it auto-cuts to their face. Two-person podcasts and interviews edit themselves. Includes a speaker-labeled transcript you can export as plain text. REACTION MODE Pick any video from your library and react over it. Your front cam appears as a draggable PiP while the source video plays full-screen. Built for reaction creators on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. DASHCAM LOOP A continuous loop recorder that auto-rolls over after each segment. Tap "Save Incident" to preserve the current and previous segments to a permanent folder. Perfect for drives, deliveries, and trips. TRIPLE-SHOT PHOTOS One tap captures three photos at once: back-only, front-only, and the layout-aware composite. Save clean source photos for editing later. LIVE CAPTIONS + TRANSCRIPT EXPORT On-device speech recognition draws live captions during recording. Export the transcript as a timestamped .txt file with speaker labels. TELEPROMPTER Paste a script and read along with adjustable scroll speed, font size, and a mirror-text mode for prompter glass setups. PRO CAMERA CONTROLS • 4K dual-camera recording • Per-camera tap-to-focus • Per-camera exposure compensation • Lens switching: 0.5×, 1×, 2× (where supported) • Auto color match between front and back • Microphone routing: built-in, AirPods, Bluetooth, USB-C LIVE AUTO-SWITCH Audio-driven layout switching. When you talk, the front camera goes full-screen. When you stop, the back takes over. Solo vlog mode, automatic. NO SUBSCRIPTION — ONE-TIME UNLOCK DualCam Pro is a one-time lifetime unlock. Pay once, own it forever — no recurring charges.
