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.

Turn two devices into a local, low-latency camera system. Use one device as Viewer A and the other as Camera B. Camera B keeps a live local preview while Viewer A displays the video, plays live audio, and controls photos, recording, and the front or back camera. Highlights: β€’ Peer-to-peer connection: Discover nearby devices over Apple's local peer-to-peer networking or the same LAN without a developer cloud service. Keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled on both devices. β€’ HD live video: Choose 720p, 1080p, automatic quality, or a manual bitrate while preserving the correct orientation and aspect ratio. β€’ Live audio: Listen to Camera B with controls for the remote microphone and local speaker. β€’ Secure pairing: Verify the first connection with a six-digit code. System cryptography protects control messages, live media, and media downloads. β€’ Remote capture: Take photos, start or stop recording, switch cameras, focus, zoom, and control the torch from Viewer A. β€’ Flexible storage: Save photos and videos on A, B, or both devices. High-quality recordings on B are created directly from original camera samples and do not depend on streaming quality. β€’ Local media library: View and zoom photos, play videos, share, delete, or save them to Photos. β€’ Built-in languages: Use Simplified Chinese or English. Privacy: Camera video, microphone audio, pairing information, photos, and videos are not uploaded to the developer's servers. The core two-iPhone camera connection does not require internet access. An optional Google AdMob rewarded ad is available only from the home screen and appears only after the user taps it. Watching it unlocks a 30-minute shortcut for applying 1080p / 6 Mbps settings. All existing quality, photo, recording, and media features remain available manually without watching an ad. Requirements: β€’ Two devices with this app installed. β€’ Keep the app in the foreground on both devices, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled. β€’ Available camera features depend on device hardware and thermal state. β€’ Follow local laws and obtain any required consent before recording others.
