About

Mic Sync 2

Features
Read full description

Two phones. One shoot. MicSync turns two phones into a shooting system: one records video, the other works as a remote microphone. Place the camera where the picture should be. Place the second phone where the sound actually is. Phone video is often good enough. Onboard audio usually isn’t β€” the mic sits on the wrong device, too far from the voice. MicSync fixes placement without a wireless kit, an account, or the cloud. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open MicSync on both phones and pick a role: Camera or Microphone. 2. Pair over the same Wi-Fi network β€” automatic discovery, QR code, or IP. 3. Record. The camera captures video (up to 4K / 60 fps). The second phone streams 24-bit / 48 kHz audio in real time. 4. Stop. MicSync aligns sound to the take and exports one MP4. FEATURES β€’ Dual-phone workflow β€” camera + remote mic β€’ Local Wi-Fi pairing β€” no internet required β€’ QR, network discovery, and manual IP fallback β€’ Live levels, gain, and mute from the camera β€’ Local WAV backup on the microphone β€’ Recording continues if the link drops; the app tries to reconnect β€’ Auto-aligned export to MP4 β€’ Save to Photos or share the clip β€’ No account, no cloud upload of your footage WHO IT’S FOR Creators, journalists, educators, musicians, and anyone shooting interviews, vlogs, classes, or backstage clips who already has a second phone. WHAT YOU NEED Two phones on the same Wi-Fi network. If one device can’t host a hotspot, join both to the same router. Privacy-first: audio and control stay between your devices. MicSync does not create accounts or upload your recordings to our servers.
