PipCam records your front and back cameras at the same time and saves one combined video: the main scene full screen, with your reaction floating in a picture-in-picture window. REACTIONS AND MOMENTS, BOTH SIDES - Capture your face and the scene in a single take - Great for vlogs, reactions, unboxings, tutorials, travel, concerts, and interviews TRUE WYSIWYG RECORDING - What you see is what you get: PIP position, size, and rounded corners match the saved video - The front camera preview is mirrored, like the built-in Camera app, while saved videos keep the real scene - Drag the PIP window anywhere, tap to cycle its size, swap front/back with one tap - Beamforming microphone follows the main camera BUILT FOR LONG RECORDINGS - Reliable long-session recording with thermal monitoring and automatic safeguards - Your footage is recovered even if the app is interrupted - Storage guard warns you before space runs out QUALITY OPTIONS - 1080p 30fps: free - 4K 30fps and 1080p 60fps: PipCam Pro, a single one-time purchase. No subscription. SIMPLE AND PRIVATE - No account and no sign-up - Videos save straight to your Photos library - Free with ads shown after recording. PipCam Pro removes ads with one purchase. PipCam requires a device that supports simultaneous front and back capture (iPhone XS or later).

MicCam records video using the camera on your iPhone or iPad, and captures audio from your paired Bluetooth microphone. How to use: 1. Turn on your microphone and complete pairing in Bluetooth within System Settings. 2. Open MicCam and grant permission for camera and microphone access. 3. Once the microphone name appears at the top of the screen, tap the red button to start recording. 4. Tap the button again to stop. The video will be automatically saved to Photos. MicCam requests access to the camera, microphone, photo library for adding photos, and location if you permit it. All videos are stored locally in Photos on your device only. No videos will be uploaded. There are no accounts or advertisements. This app is independent of microphone manufacturers. Any device model names shown merely indicate compatibility and do not imply production or endorsement by the respective manufacturer.
