QuickieCam is built for one thing: not missing the shot. The moment you open QuickieCam — or return to it from another app — it starts recording. No tapping. No waiting. If something is happening right now, QuickieCam is already capturing it. How it works Set your capture duration with the time slider. QuickieCam records for that long, then stops and saves automatically. Too short? Hit the infinity button to keep going. Changed your mind? Hit X to discard. Want a fresh clip mid-session? Press capture to stop, save, and immediately start the next one. Multi-camera capture Record from up to three cameras at once — ultra wide, wide, and telephoto — each saved as its own file. Tap any preview to swap it to the main display. Configure resolution and frame rate per camera in settings. Built for speed - Starts capturing the instant the app gets focus - Assign to your Action Button via Shortcuts for even faster access - Volume buttons trigger capture - Duration setting persists between sessions - Videos optionally geotagged with your current location A fair warning QuickieCam is opinionated. It will capture video you didn't mean to keep. You'll spend a little time learning the controls. That's the tradeoff for never missing a moment.
