SCREEN + CAMERA Capture your iPhone screen while keeping a floating FaceCam visible as you move between supported apps. Choose the front or rear camera, record your voice and app audio, and customize the camera window to match your content. DUAL CAMERA Record the front and back cameras at the same time on supported iPhones. Use one camera as the main view and display the other as a customizable inset. Swap the primary camera whenever you need a different perspective. MAKE EVERY RECORDING YOURS • Choose rounded, portrait or landscape camera frames • Customize the FaceCam border color • Reposition and resize the camera window • Add Soft Bokeh, Strong Bokeh or a black camera background • Select 720p, 1080p or up to 4K where supported • Choose 30 or 60 FPS for supported recording modes • Record microphone and app audio • Use an audible 3, 5 or 10-second countdown • Save one combined video or keep separate camera sources • Automatically export completed recordings to Photos • Organize, preview, rename, share and delete recordings in the Library CAM SCREEN CAST PRO Upgrade with a single, non-consumable purchase to unlock: • Unlimited recording duration • Up to 4K recording where supported • Combined and separate source files • Additional camera border colors • No advertising • No watermark The free version includes recordings up to one minute with advertising and a Cam Screen Cast watermark.

NoLight

NoLight is a black screen camera and recording workspace designed for focused, distraction-free video capture. Record video while keeping your screen dark, or continue working inside NoLight with useful tools like Web, Notes, and Clock. KEY FEATURES BLACK SCREEN RECORDING Start recording and switch to a completely black display whenever you want. Restore the screen instantly without stopping your recording. ALWAYS-VISIBLE RECORDING INDICATOR While NoLight is recording, an on-screen indicator is shown at all times - including while the screen is black. It cannot be turned off, and there is no setting or gesture that hides it. RECORDING WORKSPACE Keep recording while using built-in tools: • Web browser • Notes • Clock • Vault CAMERA CONTROLS Choose the settings that fit your session: • Video or photo • Front or back camera • 1080p and 4K on supported devices • Microphone control • Recording background options QUICK BLACKOUT Start directly in blackout mode, or switch to the black screen while recording using supported controls. NOTES WHILE RECORDING Capture ideas, reminders, or research notes without ending your recording session. VAULT A separate space inside NoLight, unlocked with Face ID or a PIN you choose, for your own recordings, notes and browsing — much like the Hidden album in Photos or a Face ID–locked folder in Notes. It protects your own material from someone else picking up your unlocked phone. It does not change how recording is indicated. STORED ON YOUR DEVICE Recordings are saved on your device. NoLight has no accounts and uploads nothing; files leave your device only when you choose to export or share them. BUILT FOR REAL SESSIONS NoLight is useful for lectures, meetings, research, events, presentations, long recording sessions, and other situations where a bright camera screen can be distracting. NoLight respects iOS camera and microphone permissions and system privacy indicators.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: NoLight at none against Cam Screen Cast's shown. NoLight also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
