Features

Background video recording

Record video while another app stays visible and usable on screen.
Choose the front or rear camera, 0.5x Ultra Wide or 1x lens, resolution from 480p through 4K, and frame rates from 5 to 240 FPS where supported by the device. Save recordings to the Camera Roll or a folder you specify.
Continuous auto white balance helps prevent a blue color cast during the first seconds of recording.
Start and stop recording from Control Center, a long press or double press of a volume or power button, or a Volume Up + Down press.

Background audio recording

Record audio while continuing to use the current app.
Start and stop from the microphone Control Center module or the same configurable hardware-button gestures. Audio recordings are saved to the selected folder.

Background photos

Take a photo without opening or switching to the Camera app.
Choose the front or rear camera, 0.5x Ultra Wide or 1x lens, quality, and save location. K2gecamen waits for auto white balance and exposure to settle, helping prevent blue color casts.
Trigger the shutter from Control Center or a hardware-button gesture.

Recording indicator control

An optional setting can hide the green or yellow status-bar indicator while capturing.
Use background capture only where permitted and obtain any consent required by local law.

Record during music & calls

Keep music or a call playing while K2gecamen records instead of interrupting other audio. This behavior is enabled by default and leaves playback and speaker volume unchanged.

Capture feedback and safeguards

Choose save locations and filename formats, disable gestures while the device is locked or other audio is playing, and receive haptic feedback when capture starts, stops, fails, or is interrupted.
K2gecamen can also keep a recording started in Apple's Camera app running in the background. This option is not recommended for long sessions because it may cause overheating.

Refund Policy

Only when a user reports that the tweak doesn't work on iOS versions that are explicitly mentioned as supported on the website within 48 hours after the purchase, we'll accept your refund request. When you meet these conditions and want to request a refund, please send us a message with your device information, details of the problem and purchase information.
