InviCam: Black Screen Camera
What is InviCam?
Records video and photos with the screen turned off, with an encrypted album locked by Face ID or Touch ID.

It also offers silent photo capture, a fake background image or lock screen display, and a widget to start recording from the home screen. Recordings are kept in an encrypted vault protected by Face ID or Touch ID and are not saved to Camera Roll or iCloud unless shared.
