Radar Camera · Tomita Tech

What it does

Shoot once. Keep both.

Dual capture

Portrait and landscape, one take.

Shooting for both formats usually means shooting twice and hoping the second take matches the first. Radar Camera captures a portrait and a landscape version of the same moment together, in the right shape for each: true video formats when you film, true photo formats when you shoot stills.

Video records 9:16 and 16:9, the same formats Apple's Camera shoots.
Photos save at 3:4 and 4:3, the photographic shapes, at full still quality, never video frame grabs.
One shutter, two modes, flip between photo and video without missing the moment.
Live preview of both outputs, saved together to Photos as a matched pair.

Every iPhone

One camera or three, it just works.

The core feature runs on any iPhone, one rear camera included: in single mode one camera feeds both outputs and switches lenses automatically, just like the built-in Camera app. iPhones with two or three rear cameras unlock Dual Lens, where the ultra wide feeds the portrait output and the wide feeds the landscape at the same instant.

Works on every iPhone, single rear camera included.
Dual Lens on multi-camera iPhones, ultra wide and wide capturing the same instant.
Similar framing in both outputs, the default lens pairing keeps the two views close.
Only what your iPhone can do, settings never show a mode your hardware can't run.

Front and back

Selfies get the same treatment.

Flip to the front camera and nothing about the app changes. One tap and you are still capturing portrait and landscape together, photos or video, with both previews live.

One tap to flip, mid session, no trip into settings.
Both outputs stay simultaneous, your selfie is framed as portrait and landscape at once.
Mirrored while you frame, natural when you save, you see a mirror, everyone else sees you.
Each side remembers its own setup, and the app always opens on the rear camera.

While you shoot

Your hands stay on the shot.

Everything you reach for mid-shot is a gesture away, no menu diving while the moment passes.

Tap to focus, and both outputs follow the point.

Flash on auto, on, or off, one setting that just works.

Nothing lost

Built to keep every take.

A call lands mid recording, the camera stalls, the app gets killed before a save finishes. Radar Camera treats every take as something you don't get back, and protects it accordingly.

Interrupted takes are recovered the next time you open the app.
A stalled camera ends the take cleanly, keeping the footage already captured.
Saves survive a force quit, the pair is kept and offered for retry.
Haptic cues confirm video start and stop.

Under the hood

How one take becomes two.

Step 01

Capture in sync

Both outputs draw from one synchronized capture session, so portrait and landscape see the same moment on the same clock, never two takes stitched together.

Step 02

Compose each frame

Each output composes its own orientation from its feed, video at 9:16 and 16:9, stills at 3:4 and 4:3, with your zoom applied to each output independently.

Step 03

Save as a pair

Both files are written to Photos together. If anything interrupts the take, the pair is kept on device and offered again on the next launch.

Permissions

And it asks for less.

Camera

The only requirement

One permission to start shooting. No account, no sign-in, nothing else stands between you and the shutter.

Microphone

Optional, always

Decline it and nothing breaks, video simply records silent. The app asks in context, not up front.

Photos

Add only

Radar Camera can save your captures and nothing more. It cannot read, browse, or delete your library, by construction.

Questions

Good to know.

Yes. One take produces a portrait and a landscape capture of the same moment, and both are saved to Photos as a pair. Video records at 9:16 and 16:9, the same formats Apple's Camera shoots. Photos save at the photographic 3:4 and 4:3 shapes.

Only the camera to start shooting. The microphone is optional, video simply records silent without it. Photos access is add only, and it's requested the first time you save.

Two rear cameras recording at once. By default the ultra wide feeds the portrait output and the wide feeds the landscape, so both frame a similar view. It stays off until you turn it on, and in single mode Radar Camera behaves like the built-in Camera app, switching lenses automatically as you zoom.

Yes, on any iPhone running iOS 26 or later, including models with a single rear camera: in single mode one camera feeds both outputs. Dual Lens appears only on iPhones with two or three rear cameras, and settings never offer a mode your hardware can't run.

Yes, and it works the same way. Flip to the front camera and you still get a portrait and a landscape capture from one take, photos or video. Your preview is mirrored so framing feels natural, while the saved files are not mirrored, matching how everyone else sees you and how Apple's Camera saves selfies.

Real photos. Stills come from the camera's photo pipeline at sensor resolution within a 12MP class cap, the same class as the built-in Camera's default output. They are never frame grabs from the video stream.

The take is protected. If a call lands, the camera stalls, or the app is closed before a save finishes, Radar Camera keeps the captured pair and offers it again the next time you open the app.
