Loop 360
Read full descriptionHide full description
Loop 360 is a simple, focused Bluetooth remote for your Insta360 camera. **Bluetooth only — not Wi-Fi** Most camera remote apps make you join your camera's Wi-Fi hotspot, which knocks your phone off any other Wi-Fi network — including CarPlay. Loop 360 connects over Bluetooth instead, so your phone's Wi-Fi stays free the whole time. **Start and stop recording, instantly** One tap to start, one tap to stop. That's it. **GPS-triggered recording** Draw zones on a map and Loop 360 will start recording automatically when you enter them, and stop when you leave — hands-free camera control tied to where you actually are. A live map shows your position and your armed zones while you drive. **Interval / dashcam-style recording** Set a clip length and a repeat interval, and Loop 360 will keep recording short clips on a loop for as long as you want — great for long drives where you only want to keep the good parts. **Everything stays on your phone** Loop 360 has no account, no backend, and no analytics. Your marker zones, your camera pairing, and your settings are stored only on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded anywhere. Compatible with Insta360 cameras that support Bluetooth LE remote control. *Loop 360 is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Insta360.

Witness turns your iPhone into a chain-of-custody recorder for any situation you don't feel safe in, including encounters with law enforcement, but also confrontations, harassment, workplace incidents, and anywhere you need a record without drawing attention. Footage uploads automatically as you record, so it survives even if your phone doesn't. HOW IT WORKS Start recording and the screen goes black. No live preview, no distraction, nothing for anyone to see or grab. Video uploads to your own cloud storage in small chunks, roughly every 15 seconds, so footage is already off the device before the situation even ends. SAFE EVEN IF YOUR PHONE ISN'T Footage streams out continuously, so deleting or confiscating your phone can't delete what's already been recorded. Each chunk is hashed and time stamped for a verifiable chain of custody, the kind of documentation that holds up as evidence. YOUR STORAGE, YOUR CHOICE Witness uploads directly to an account you control. Choose Google Drive, Dropbox, Nextcloud, or any WebDAV server, including one you self-host. Nothing passes through a third party server, and you can revoke access at any time. EMERGENCY CONTACT Add someone you trust as an emergency contact. They get automatic access to your footage as it uploads, so there's a second set of eyes even if you can't reach them yourself. ONE PRESS START Bind the iPhone Action Button, use the Lock Screen widget, or say "Hey Siri, start recording" to begin without unlocking or opening the app. No fumbling for a button when things are already tense. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS Built in guidance on your right to record in public, with region aware notes for where you are. Not a substitute for legal advice, but a starting point. Witness is built for anyone who wants a clear, durable record of what happened, whether that's a police stop, a traffic stop, a confrontation on the street, or any encounter that feels unsafe. Nothing more. Witness Pro Monthly is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks 4K recording, up to 60 fps, and Apple Log color capture, for $1.99/month.
