Sidecam is your separate camera for work: professional photos and videos kept apart from your personal photo library. Sidecam never touches the Photos app and cannot read your camera roll. What you capture at work stays in the app, organized and under your control. A FULL CAMERA • True 24 or 48 MP, with every iPhone lens and zoom that behaves just like the native camera • 4K video with flash, lens selection and a digital-crop warning • Level, grid and exposure lock for consistent shots ORGANIZED ON ITS OWN • Every work session groups itself — no albums to create by hand • Folders per client, site, case or project, plus reusable tags • Import the work photos you already have in Photos or Files and keep everything together in one app. YOUR BACKUP, IN YOUR CLOUD • Your entire work library mirrored to iCloud Drive (or any folder you choose): browsable folders and dates on any device • Optimize storage: originals stay in the cloud to free up space on your iPhone • Nothing is ever deleted from the cloud: removed items go to a trash folder in iCloud REAL PRIVACY • No accounts, no servers, no data collection • Optional Face ID lock for your library Built for healthcare, inspections, construction, real estate, workshops and any professional who takes photos on the job and wants to keep their personal library clean.

Features
Read full description

see ya turns two iPhones into a wireless camera and remote. Prop one phone up as the camera, hold the other as your remote, and watch a live viewfinder in your hand. Frame the shot, zoom, tap to focus, and fire the shutter — photo, video, or time-lapse — from across the room. Finally everyone gets in the picture, and you shoot with the good rear camera instead of the selfie cam. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Be in the photo — no one stuck behind the camera • Real rear-camera quality, framed from anywhere in the room • A live viewfinder on your remote, so you see exactly what you'll get • Works with no Wi-Fi and no signal — the phones connect directly to each other • Private by design: no account, no servers, nothing leaves your phones FULL CAMERA CONTROL, FROM YOUR HAND • Optical zoom with real lenses • Tap to focus, exposure, torch, and zebra stripes • Photo, video, and true time-lapse • Volume-button shutter • A big level — including a crosshair for overhead and top-down shots MORE THAN ONE CAMERA • Pair several cameras and switch between them from one remote • Link cameras to fire them all at once for multi-angle shots • Draw alignment guides on the remote that appear on the camera — line up a shot, move things, and line it up again Every capture saves straight to your photo library, optionally geotagged. Great for group photos, self-portraits, product shots, wildlife, long exposures, real estate, and anywhere you'd rather be in front of the lens than behind it. Made by Passive Products in Austin, Texas.
