Flipcorder: Retro Camcorder

Flipcorder helps you capture everyday life like an old home video, bringing a delightful retro twist to your memories. It's built for those who love the nostalgic charm of a retro camcorder and want to document their moments without fuss.

Record Daily Flips

• Experience the unique daily tape, where everything you film lands on today’s dated 30-minute cassette, ordered chronologically for a true retro camcorder feel.
• Easily record 20-second “flips” with a simple tap, each stopping and saving automatically with a calm countdown.
• You always have control to record longer flips, but the day's tape is always limited to 30 minutes.

One Unedited Home Movie

• Relive your day as a single, unedited home movie, playing back exactly as you filmed it - authentic video the way it used to be.
• Apply classic VHS looks with bleeding colour, tracking wobble, and a date stamp, or choose the crisp, clean aesthetic of MiniDV to your footage.
• Change a tape’s look at any time thanks to the untouched original footage, giving you complete control over your aesthetic.

Save and Share Memories

• Save your whole tape to Photos as one movie with a title card, either with the chosen camcorder look rendered in or as clean 1080p video, making sharing effortless.
• Enjoy gentle reminders you can turn on, with an afternoon nudge if today’s tape is blank and an evening note when it’s ready, helping you never miss a moment without guilt.
• Take control of your home screen with widgets that show today’s tape as a cassette, allowing one tap to open the camcorder or play your day’s movie.

Built for iPhone Duo

• Unlock exclusive features for iPhone Duo, where the fold acts as the power switch, a camera lens is on the cover, and the subject sees a live retro preview with a REC light on the outer screen.
• Close your iPhone Duo to instantly save a flip, simplifying your recording process and keeping you focused on the moment.

Flipcorder is a one time purchase, with no subscriptions, in-app purchases, ads, or accounts. Your videos stay solely on your phone.

Open Flipcorder tomorrow morning and make your first home movie memory.

Halloween and holiday tapes dress up. A tape from 31 October opens on a jack-o'-lantern title card and wears a pumpkin sticker. Tapes from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day get snow on their title card and a snowflake sticker.

Write a label on any tape right from the tape player: just tap its cassette.

FIXES
During a phone call, the camcorder waits quietly instead of trying the camera again and again, and starts up by itself when the call ends. A flip that's rolling when a call connects is saved first.

"Copy new flips to Photos" now saves the original clip, just as the camera recorded it.
