DuoCam lets you record your front and back cameras at the same time — no editing tricks, no second device needed. Whether you're a vlogger capturing your reaction alongside the scene, a creator filming tutorials, or just someone who wants both perspectives in one shot, DuoCam makes it effortless. DUAL CAMERA RECORDING Record front and back cameras simultaneously. Both feeds are saved as individual videos so you have full editing flexibility, or use the built-in picture-in-picture layout to composite them in real time. FLEXIBLE LAYOUTS Switch between Fullscreen mode (one camera fills the screen, the other floats as a PIP) and Side-by-Side mode — right from the top bar, without interrupting your recording. BUILT-IN TELEPROMPTER Type your script directly in the app. The text auto-scrolls over the camera preview so you can speak naturally without breaking eye contact. Adjust font size, scroll speed, and overlay opacity to match your style. PROFESSIONAL CONTROLS • Record at 720p, 1080p, or 4K • Choose 24, 30, or 60 fps — from cinematic film look to buttery smooth motion • Live mic meter so you always know your audio is live • Select any connected audio input — AirPods, external mic, built-in • Countdown timer (3s or 10s) for hands-free recording • Mirror front camera toggle • Save both recordings straight to your Photo Library CLEAN, DISTRACTION-FREE DESIGN The interface gets out of the way when you're recording. Every control is one tap away when you need it, and invisible when you don't. DuoCam Pro unlocks the full feature set with a one-time purchase. No subscription.
