The screen dims to black while you record so it doesn't add glare to a darkroom, studio, or stage and so your battery lasts longer and you don't add any light to surroundings.\n\n  Key Features\n  \n  - Dual-Lens Simultaneous Recording. Capture the front and rear cameras at the same time using the device's multi-camera hardware.\n  - One-File Export. When you stop recording, both camera angles are stitched into a single high-quality video, ready to share without editing software.\n\n  indicator the entire time, so it is always clear when the device is recording.\n  - Background Audio Continuation. If you switch apps or lock the device mid-take, audio capture continues so the soundtrack stays intact. When you reopen Dim Recorder, both cameras resume\n  recording.\n  - On-Device Library. Your finished recordings are organized inside the app until you choose to export them to Photos. Nothing is uploaded — all media stays on your device.\n\nMade for studio & darkroom work — record hands-free without screen glare.\n\n  Privacy\n\n  All recordings are stored locally. Dim Recorder does not transmit audio or video to any external server.\n\nDim Recorder is designed for filming in dark rooms, studios, and low-light setups where a bright screen would ruin the shot. It is not intended for recording other people, and must not be used to capture anyone without their knowledge and consent, or in places where people expect privacy. Recording-consent laws vary by country and region. You are solely responsible for following the laws that apply to you. Any use to secretly record, harass, stalk, or surveil another person is strictly prohibited.\n\n  https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/","facts":{"developer_id":588225181,"developer_url":null,"first_released":"2026-06-03T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://akf.lt/airplaymic","privacy_url":"https://akf.lt/airplaymic/babyleaps/privacy_policy.html","website_url":null,"app_version":"1.4","release_notes":"Dim Recorder — Dual-Camera Video with a Dark Screen","rating_current_version":4,"rating_count_current_version":2,"star_counts":[0,0,0,2,0],"genres":["Utilities","Photo & Video"],"languages":["AR","CA","HR","CS","DA","NL","EN","FI","FR","DE","EL","HE","HI","HU","ID","IT","JA","KO","MS","NB","PL","PT","RO","RU","ZH","SK","ES","SV","TH","ZH","TR","UK","VI"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["iphone","ipad"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-13T13:46:12.785Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-11-06T16:14:12.756Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-11-06T15:03:13.310Z","placed_at":"2026-11-06T16:10:13.233Z","scored_at":"2026-11-14T12:59:13.569Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Dual-camera video recorder that dims the screen to black while recording and keeps recordings on the device.","what_is":"The app records the front and rear cameras at the same time using the device's multi-camera hardware, then combines both angles into one video when recording stops.
