PoseSync

Two iPhones. One shoots, one watches. The person being photographed sees themselves through the other phone's lens in real time — and decides when to press the shutter, how far to zoom, where to stand. The model is the director. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open PoseSync on both iPhones: one picks "I'm the model", the other "I'm the photographer" 2. The model's phone finds the other one automatically — tap to connect 3. The model sees the live viewfinder. Both phones share the exact same controls: zoom, focus, shutter, countdown, exposure lock, pose reference WHY IT'S DIFFERENT · Truly low latency: over Wi‑Fi or direct peer‑to‑peer, end‑to‑end latency is usually under 100 ms — you can pose to it · Works offline: both phones just need Wi‑Fi switched on. No router, no data used · Two‑way controls: zoom, shutter or exposure changed on either side shows up instantly on the other, with a "remote" cue · Standing mark: the model drags on the picture; the photographer sees "They'll stand here" at the same spot · 48 built‑in poses in 8 sets — across the table, café, standing, sitting, walking, leaning, half‑body, crouching — each with a real photo and a line outline you overlay on the viewfinder, in 6 line colours · Your own reference: overlay a photo from your library — same image on both phones, with adjustable opacity, size and position · Composition guides: rule of thirds plus a headroom line · Exposure lock: stop brightness from jumping while you check your pose · Countdown: 3 / 5 / 10 seconds, counted down on both screens · Solo mode: pose outlines, grid and countdown work with a single phone too · Full‑quality photos stay on the photographer's phone; the model gets a preview instantly · Latency check: median and p95 in one tap, so you know whether to find a better Wi‑Fi FREE & PRO Take 20 photos free, with every pose and feature. PoseSync Pro (monthly, yearly or a one‑time purchase) removes the limit. Only one of the two phones needs Pro, and Family Sharing is supported. PRIVACY Video travels directly between the two phones. No servers, no uploads, no data collected. Requires two iPhones running iOS 17 or later with Wi‑Fi switched on. Allow "Local Network" access on first launch.

Never know how to pose? Copycat Cam puts the pose right inside the viewfinder, so whoever is holding the phone can line you up and get the shot. Pick a pose and its silhouette and outline appear over the live camera. Move until you match the shape, tap the shutter, done. No more "just do something" and fifty blurry tries. MADE FOR THE PERSON BEHIND THE CAMERA • Your friend, partner or boyfriend doesn't need to be a photographer. They just line you up with the outline. • Works for selfies on a timer too: prop the phone up and match the pose yourself. POSES FOR REAL PLACES • Café, street, beach, park, home, dinner, night out, station and studio • Solo and duo poses • Standing, sitting, walking, leaning, looking back, candid moments • A big pose library that keeps growing • Heart the ones you like and find them again later A CAMERA THAT STAYS OUT OF THE WAY • Three overlay styles: silhouette and outline, outline only, or a small reference photo in the corner that you can drag anywhere • Zoom presets, tap to focus, drag to brighten or darken • Shoot in portrait or landscape • Camera Control support on iPhone 16 and later: slide to switch scenes, press to shoot • Photos go straight to your own Copycat Cam album on your phone. Nothing is uploaded. • No account, no ads • Two looks, Noir and Blush, plus 14 languages FREE EVERY DAY, PRO FOR EVERYTHING Every day you get a fresh set of free poses.
