NoLight
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.
Doble Cam

Record with your iPhone's rear and front cameras at the same time: what's in front of you and your face, in the same take. Nothing to edit together afterwards, no watermarks and no time limit. Every recording saves three videos: • The combined one: rear on top and selfie below, put together on your iPhone as you record • The rear camera video • The front camera video WHAT IT'S FOR • Reactions: what's happening and how you react, in the same video • Vlogs and travel: the view and you telling the story, without recording twice • In the car, with your iPhone on a mount: the road and the inside of the car at once • Interviews and conversations: both people in a single video YOUR GALLERY, PRIVATE Videos are kept in a gallery inside the app: they don't show up in the Photos app, and the app never uploads them anywhere. From there you can watch each recording (combined, rear or front), save the combined video to Photos to keep it, or delete it. So your iPhone doesn't fill up without you noticing, recordings are deleted from the app's gallery automatically after 7 days, or 14 or 30 if you choose so in Settings. Anything you saved to Photos stays there. No sign-up, no accounts. In English, Spanish (Spain) or Latin American Spanish: pick it in Settings. REQUIREMENTS Recording with both cameras at once requires an iPhone XS, XR or later (A12 Bionic chip or newer). FREE AND NO BANNER The app is free and records with no time limit and no watermarks. The free version shows Google AdMob ads: a banner at the bottom (never while you record); a full-screen ad while your videos are being saved when each recording ends, announced beforehand and at most one every 90 seconds; and, now and then, a full-screen app-open ad (1 in every 5 times you open the app, never on the day you install it). We ask for your permission before personalizing them. No Banner (one-time payment, no subscription; the price is shown in the app before you confirm): removes the banner ad. The full-screen ads — while your videos are saved after recording and when you open the app — stay. It unlocks nothing else: everything else is already free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: NoLight at none against Doble Cam's shown. NoLight also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 days). Doble Cam's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
