Keep more than one screen. Seamly turns scrolling conversations, articles, orders and travel plans into a long screenshot and a silent Live Photo — from a single capture. All image processing happens on your device, with no account required. ONE CAPTURE, TWO RESULTS • Tap Start Capture, allow screen sharing, open the app you want to capture and scroll slowly with overlap. • Finish with Done in the Dynamic Island, by running the shortcut again, or by returning to Seamly. Pausing never ends capture. • Each work holds both a Live Photo and a long screenshot. Switch between them at the top; each keeps its own edits. • Seamly aligns overlapping frames and detects fixed top and bottom bars to reduce repetition. • Open a detail page from a list and come back: the detail page is inserted as a full screen between the cards, and the list continues where you left off without repeating content. EDIT LIVE PHOTOS • Play, pause and browse frames by dragging or using the progress slider. Collapse the tools for a larger preview, then press and hold to play or swipe to browse. • Browse frame by frame and choose a cover while preserving every video frame and the full duration. • Editing preserves the original resources. Save the Live Photo to Photos exactly as previewed. CHOOSE YOUR LAYOUT • Switch the long screenshot between a long image and a collage in the preview, with separate crop settings for each layout. Detail pages get their own collage page. • Every export uses the Seamly paper frame and rounded screen corners, without covering your content. Originals stay unchanged. • Export as JPEG, HEIF or paginated PDF, or share the original files as a ZIP. • Older collages without the original long image can still be viewed and exported, but cannot switch back. START AND FINISH WITH EASE • Start from Seamly Live Photo in Control Center, or assign the built-in Start/Stop Live Photo shortcut to the Action button. • Dynamic Island and Lock Screen Live Activities show capture status, guidance and a finish control. ORGANIZE YOUR LIBRARY • Combine capture-type and source-app filters. Seamly attempts to recognize some source apps from their screen content; you can also categorize items manually. • On iPad and wide windows, the home screen shows your recent captures side by side, with adaptive preview and editing layouts and Dark Mode support. • Learn with chapter-based screen demonstrations and a built-in stitching example. KEEP CONTENT PRIVATE • Capture and editing do not upload your screen content or record audio. Your work stays on your device until you choose to export or share it. • Hide private items behind Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. The hidden library locks again when you leave the app. Exported and shared copies are not protected. • Saving to Photos requires permission to add items. BEFORE YOU CAPTURE • Requires iOS or iPadOS 27.0 or later. Each live capture requires your approval for system screen sharing. • Seamly does not scroll other apps for you. Every capture is finished manually. • Fast scrolling, zooming, overlays, repeated content and video may affect stitching accuracy. Frames that cannot be aligned are kept as separate segments with a notice, and nearby content may repeat or be missing. • Saving both results uses more storage than a single image. • Protected content may not be captured. System interruptions, orientation changes and capacity limits may end capture early. • Dynamic Island bar removal is a Beta feature for long images. It may fail or leave visible repairs and does not apply to Live Photos. Only save content you have the right to save.
