Sidecam
Product signal · 2026-08-09
What it does
Camera-first iPhone app that captures 24/48 MP photos and 4K video using all physical lenses, keeps everything it captures inside the app (never writes to Photos and cannot read the photo library, no PhotoKit in the binary), and optionally mirrors files as plain folders into the user's own iCloud Drive.
Who it’s for
Surgeons and other privacy-sensitive professionals who need a secure, isolated camera that doesn't sync patient or work photos to the camera roll or iCloud Photos, plus anyone who wants an in-app-only camera with no accounts, no servers, and no subscription.
Why it entered the Feed
Frozen signal was a first-party r/SideProject launch post by the solo developer (a surgeon, not a developer) who built and shipped the app, describing a concrete, free iOS camera product with a clear identity, feature set, and privacy use case; strong engagement (score 141, 123 comments) corroborated a real shipped product.
