Press record after the moment. 15|30 is a camera that already recorded it. The last 15 or 30 seconds are always rolling through a buffer in memory. When something happens, tap once — the past is saved, and recording continues forward until you stop. THE PROBLEM The moment you want has already happened. By the time you fumble open the camera and press record, it's gone. Or you record for an hour hoping to catch ten seconds, then dig through it later. THE INSTRUMENT 15|30 holds the camera open with a rolling buffer running. Nothing is written to disk until you decide. One tap captures what already happened plus what's about to happen. No app to launch in a panic. No record button to find. Just the past, on demand. FEATURES · 15s or 30s rolling buffer, in memory only · One tap saves the past + keeps recording forward · Full HD 1080p video · Cinema HUD · monospace numerics · Tap to focus · pinch to zoom · quick zoom presets (.5×, 1×, 1.5×, 2×) · Portrait-locked viewfinder, rotating controls for landscape · Available in English, Українська, Deutsch, Español · No subscription · no account · your video never leaves your phone WHAT IT IS NOT Not a social app. Not a filter pack. Not a feature inside another camera. 15|30 is a single instrument, built for one job. FAQ Does it always record? The buffer only lives in memory until you tap. Nothing is written to disk before then. Battery? Roughly comparable to using the stock camera with the viewfinder open. Storage? A 30-second clip at 1080p is about 30–40 MB.

Camera18 turns your iPhone into a collection of cameras. Seamlessly zoom through your scene, switch cameras in an instant, and discover a different photographic character with each one. Every camera is more than a filter. Each has its own color, texture, lens feel, and aperture character — from wide-open softness to crisp depth and dramatic starbursts. ONE CAMERA. MANY CHARACTERS. • Seamless Zoom Move naturally from wide to close without interrupting the shot. • Camera Simulations Shoot with distinct camera-inspired looks, each built around its own color, texture, and optical character. • Aperture Character Aperture is part of each camera’s identity — changing how light, depth, softness, and starbursts feel. • Aperture Control On supported hardware, control the physical aperture directly. Other supported devices recreate the experience computationally. • Shoot, Don’t Filter Choose your camera and aperture before the shutter. The look is part of how you shoot, not something added afterward. One iPhone. Many cameras. A different character in every shot.
