Record once. Get two videos — one portrait and one landscape. AspectTake captures the same moment in vertical 9:16 and horizontal 16:9, giving you two separate video files from a single recording. Frame both outputs live, press Record, and create footage for different screens without repeating the take. ONE TAKE, TWO FORMATS • Record portrait and landscape video at the same time • Receive two separate, synchronized video files • Preview both compositions while you record • Move the landscape preview anywhere on the screen • Tuck the preview against either edge when you need a clear view • Save both videos directly to Photos • Keep recordings inside AspectTake when Photos access is unavailable CAPTURE WITH CONFIDENCE Choose from the resolutions and frame rates supported by your iPhone, including up to 4K and 24, 30, or 60 fps on compatible devices. See an estimated recording size before you begin, enable the optional framing grid, use the flashlight when supported, and keep both formats composed throughout the take. MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN Create a vertical version for short-form feeds, stories, mobile viewing, and social content. At the same time, capture a horizontal version for widescreen video, websites, presentations, interviews, courses, events, and editing workflows. PREMIUM AND PRIVATE AspectTake is a focused camera with no account, no advertisements, and no subscription. Video processing takes place on your iPhone, and your recordings remain under your control. Buy it once. Record whenever you need it. Supported resolutions, frame rates, camera lenses, flashlight modes, and other capture options depend on the capabilities of your iPhone and the selected recording configuration. ----- Privacy Policy: https://aspecttake.nixmio.com/privacy-policy ToS: https://aspecttake.nixmio.com/terms

About

Afters

Afters is a disposable camera for nights out. Flash always on. Focus fixed. No edits. Shoot tonight, see it tomorrow. THE RULES • Flash fires on every shot — hard light, dark rooms, real faces. • Focus is fixed: Portrait (1 m) or Group (2.5 m). Tap, and it's taken. No hunting, no waiting. • No editing. What you shoot is the photo. Pick a film look and a date stamp before, not after. SIX FILM LOOKS 2AM (direct flash, cool shadows, warm halation), Gold, Mint, Noir, Digicam '04 and Xpro — rendered live in the viewfinder and baked into the photo with grain, halation and bloom. THE ROLL 24 shots per roll. Rolls develop the next morning at 9:00 with a notification — or instantly, your choice. Open the roll and watch the contact sheet develop. MAKE THE DUMP Pick 4–9 shots and export a Story or Post collage with film-strip, contact-sheet or instant frames. Ready for Instagram in one tap. DETAILS THAT MATTER Orange date stamp with three formats. Screen flash for selfies. Timer for group shots. Lock Screen widget with your roll counter. iOS 18 Control to open the camera from Control Center or the Action button. FREE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ACCOUNT. Afters is free with light ads: a small banner on your rolls, an optional short video to develop a roll early, and at most one full-screen ad a day. Never on the camera. Your photos stay on your phone until you save them, and Afters never asks for your location. Languages: English, Türkçe, Español, Deutsch, Français, Português, 日本語, 한국어.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Afters at Free against AspectTake's $1.99. Afters also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). AspectTake's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
