BABIES & FAMILY Capture first steps, funny expressions, spontaneous reactions, playtime, and other moments that happen before you have time to press record. PETS Catch your cat or dog running, getting into mischief, or being playful. DRIVING & DASHCAM Use TimeBack as a flexible camera with a replay buffer when you want to preserve something that just happened. Save recent footage without keeping every minute as a permanent video file. 【FAQ】 Q1: What is pre-recording?
 A: Pre-recording is TimeBack's core feature. The camera continuously buffers recent footage. When you press record, the buffered footage and live recording are saved together as one video, capturing the full moment before and after the action. Q2: Does pre-recording use a lot of storage?
 A: No. Buffered footage isn't continuously saved as video files. Only the footage you choose to record is saved. Otherwise, the buffer continuously overwrites itself, using less storage than recording continuously for a long time. Q3: Can I use TimeBack without pre-recording?
 A: Yes. TimeBack also works as a regular camera with 4K video recording, camera controls, and voice control. Simply turn off pre-recording when you don't need it.

SkateCam3D lets you take a 3D picture, interactively adjust the depth and framing (no AI necessary), crop to one of several aspect ratios, and then export the picture in a variety of formats. To use SkateCam3D: 1. Launch the app and rotate the phone to landscape view. 2. Tap Shoot Video Now. 3. Shoot a short video while "skating" (moving) the phone horizontally. 4. Preview the stereo image as an anaglyph, Dubois anaglyph, SBS pair, or SBS crossview pair. 5. Make it just right: - Adjust the depth by moving your finger up and down. - Adjust the framing by moving your finger left and right. - Zoom and pan with two fingers to get the crop you want. 6. Export the image in one or more formats. Choose from JPEG or PNG SBS (parallel or crossview), Dubois anaglyph, grayscale anaglyph, spatial photo, or wigglegram GIF.
