Dual-format recording FREE
Dual Frame cuts both formats from the camera's full 4:3 sensor, so the landscape is about 33% wider than a crop of the portrait. Both files start on the same frame and carry the same sound. The core of the app.
Features
CraftCam records a 9:16 portrait and a 16:9 landscape video at the same time, from one take. Around that core sits a set of tools built for people who publish, not just record.
Dual Lens mode FREE
Records the 1× Wide lens in portrait and the 0.5× Ultra Wide in landscape at the same time, for two genuinely different framings. Needs an iPhone with an Ultra Wide camera.
Front & Back mode FREE
The rear camera films the scene while the front camera films you, in a single take. Drag or pinch the picture-in-picture preview, or stack the two previews.
Built-in teleprompter PRO
Your script scrolls hands-free beside the lens. Adjust the speed, text size, color, line spacing and start delay, resize the window or mirror the text. It never appears in the video.
Manual controls
Exposure compensation is free. Pro adds white balance (temperature and tint), ISO and shutter speed. AUTO hands any control back to the camera, and your settings can be remembered between sessions.
4K, 60fps, HDR
HD at 30fps in the free version. 4K and 60fps with Pro, where your iPhone supports them. HLG HDR video and stabilization are free on supported cameras. HD uses H.264; 4K and HDR use HEVC.
Dual-format photos FREE
One tap saves a 9:16 and a 16:9 photo of the same moment. Photos are unlimited and never use your free takes.
Time-lapse PRO
One frame every 0.5, 1 or 2 seconds, played back at 30fps for 15×, 30× or 60× speed. A portrait and a landscape time-lapse from the same session, without sound.
Review & projects FREE
Projects keep your takes organised. Review both files side by side after every take, trim them together, favorite the keepers, then save to Photos or share.
Capture helpers FREE
Grid, center cross and level guides, a 3, 5 or 10 second timer, an audio meter, recording sounds, 0.5×, 1× and 2× zoom, the flash and a mirrored front camera.
Recovery & heat protection FREE
Video is written as you record. Interrupted takes are recovered on the next launch, and if your iPhone gets too hot, the take is saved and the camera pauses to cool down.
Private by design FREE
No account, no ads in the app and no analytics SDKs. Your videos never leave your iPhone. The app only goes online to check purchases and, through Apple's privacy-safe ad attribution, to tell me which of my App Store ads work. Read the privacy policy.
