Perfect for fishing, sports, travel, pets, family moments, and everyday life. 【Key Features】 PRE-RECORDING CAMERA Set the pre-record duration for up to 2 minutes. 4K VIDEO RECORDING Record clear, detailed videos in up to 4K resolution.

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.

ONE PURCHASE. THE COMPLETE APP. Camera, projects, notes, photo exports, PDF reports, CSV and backups are all included. No subscription, ads or account to create. CAPTURE THE PLACE See GPS accuracy before you take the photo. Fieldnote requires a fresh location reading and saves it at capture, alongside the date and time. Include altitude and compass bearing when your iPhone provides them. Use the framing grid, flash, tap-to-focus and the ultra-wide lens on supported iPhones. KEEP YOUR ORIGINAL Keep one original in your local library. Export a copy with a clear location stamp, or share the original JPEG with GPS metadata. Your notes and project name remain editable; the recorded location and capture time stay unchanged. ORGANIZE THE WORK Group photos by project. Add the details you want to remember. Search projects and notes, browse your photos, or see their locations on a map. SHOW BEFORE AND AFTER Return to an earlier photo and use its translucent guide to match the framing. Capture the change, then slide between both visits. Keep each original and its own time and GPS readings.
