About

FlowCast by ZPresso

Features
Read full description

FlowCast is a clean, fast iPhone screen recorder built for people who actually want to share what they make. Record your screen, your voice, or both — then clean up the audio and ship it. WHAT IT DOES • Record your screen with your voice. Tap one button, pick "Start Broadcast" in the iOS popup (remember to enable the mic icon!), and FlowCast records everything you do on your phone with crystal-clear narration. • Vlog mode: front and back camera at the same time, picture-in-picture, with a swap button so you can switch which camera is the main canvas mid-recording. • Voice cleanup, on-device. Tap Reduce Noise and FlowCast strips the background hum, fan whine, and traffic noise out of your audio using a neural network running entirely on your iPhone — nothing leaves your device. No sign-up, no API key, no subscription. • Auto-trim silences. FlowCast scans your recording, finds the long quiet bits, and exports a tighter version with them cut out. • Smart naming. New recordings get transcribed and renamed automatically based on the first sentence you spoke — no more files called "Screencast_2026-05-18_14-23-45". • Save to Photos, share via AirDrop / Messages / Mail, or just find your files in the Files app under On My iPhone → FlowCast. WHY FLOWCAST The default iOS screen recorder is opaque and unreliable. Files sometimes don't save. There's no editing. There's no audio cleanup. You can't tell what's what in the camera roll. FlowCast was built to be the opposite: every recording shows up immediately in your Library with a meaningful name, every step is one tap, and the most important things (the audio actually being recorded, and the file actually being saved) are protected from the kinds of failures other apps quietly let happen. PRIVACY Everything runs on your iPhone. FlowCast doesn't have a server. There's no account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs phoning home. Your recordings, your voice, your face — they live in your phone's storage and nowhere else. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 17 or later • iPhone XS / iPhone XR or newer for dual-camera Vlog mode

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlowCast by ZPresso at none against Looper's 10. FlowCast by ZPresso also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). Looper's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
