Tap, talk, post. You had a thought worth posting. You opened your camera, recorded thirty seconds of yourself, then hit a wall. Uncaptioned video gets scrolled past. Most people give up. The ones who don't open a video editor, fight with auto-caption settings, wait for processing, fix three typos, export, and finally upload. Nine minutes later, the moment is stale. CapQuick is the fix. Open the app. Record. Captions appear. Tweak the font, color, or size if you want. Share to X. Done. That's it. No editor. No timeline. No clip-cutting. No subscription. What you get: - Quick automatic captions. - Customize font, color, emphasis color, stroke, and background per video. - Direct share to X and other social platforms. - Landscape and portrait video support. - Burned-in captions, ready for any platform. - Pre-recorded video import for captioning clips you already shot. Built for: - Tech founders and builders who post takes - Finance and crypto commentators - News and political voices - Sports takes - Educators and creators who want their face on the timeline - Anyone who wants captions for accessibility without the editing tax What's different: No subscription. CapQuick is free with a small watermark, or pay once for the watermark-free Pro version. No cloud upload. Your audio is processed on device using Apple's speech recognition. Nothing leaves your phone unless you share it. No timeline editor. We don't cut your video. We caption it. No accounts, no signups, no email required. Open the app and go. Privacy: CapQuick processes everything on your device. No analytics, no third-party tracking, no audio uploaded to a server. Your video stays on your phone unless you choose to share it. Built by Justin Hammon, an indie iOS app maker who got tired of paying $20 a month for tools that should take ten seconds. Tap, talk, post.

OwlCam transforms your iPhone into a night vision powerhouse. See clearly in total darkness with advanced low-light image enhancement that amplifies every photon your camera captures. Four unique vision modes adapt to any low-light situation. Choose from classic phosphor-green night vision for an iconic look, warm Amber IR for comfort, high-contrast Mono Boost to reveal edge detail, or thermal-style heat mapping to visualize temperature differences. Fine-tune your night vision with the Boost slider. Crank it up to push your sensor's ISO, shutter speed, and software amplification to the limit for maximum light gathering. Every adjustment is applied in real-time to the live preview. Capture the night exactly as you see it. Shoot enhanced photos and videos that preserve the night vision effect. Your enhanced captures are saved to your photo library with full resolution. Pinch to zoom up to 6x, tap the torch for IR assist in complete darkness, flip between front and back cameras, and enable a rule-of-thirds grid to compose perfectly in the dark. It's all the power of a professional night vision system, in your pocket. OwlCam includes a short preview of enhanced night vision. Unlimited low-light modes and capture require OwlCam Pro (in-app purchase / subscription).
