Five disguises, not just a black screen
Turn your iPhone into a hidden camera
Pick what the screen pretends to be
Live preview with on-screen controls. The normal way to shoot.
One tap from the Home Screen
Eclipse Quick Tools
A widget that opens straight into a capture mode.
The Home Screen is one way in. Lock Screen widgets, Control Center controls and the Apple Watch app open the same capture modes, so the shot starts wherever your hand already is.
See every way in →Three ways to fire the shutter
A disguised screen is only half of it. You also need to capture without obviously reaching for your phone.
- 01
Tap anywhere
The whole screen is the shutter. No hunting for a button while the screen looks off.
- 02
Volume button
Capture without touching the screen at all. The phone can sit flat on a table.
- 03
Apple Watch Free
Start the camera and fire the shutter from your wrist. The phone never comes out.
Everything else it does
Built over four years and still shipping, not a feature list copied off someone else's page.
-
Private album, locked
Captures land in an album inside Eclipse, not your camera roll, behind Face ID. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing syncs anywhere.
-
Photo, video and Live Photo
Front or back camera, stills or video, with Live Photo support when you want the moment either side of the shot.
-
Burst and timed capture
Take several shots per tap, add a delay before the first frame, and set the gap between shots.
-
4K and your phone's top frame rate
Eclipse reads what your iPhone can actually do and gives you all of it: 720p to 4K, and the highest frame rate the hardware supports, up to 120 or 240fps for slow motion. Release your phone's true potential. Free for everyone.
-
Silent by design
Optional haptic confirmation instead of a sound, so you know it fired without anyone else knowing.
-
Widgets and Control Center
Launch straight into a mode from the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, or a Control Center toggle, with a disguised widget look if you prefer.
-
Slideshow and sharing
Review captures in a slideshow, then share or export to Photos only when you actually choose to.
-
Audio-only recording
Record sound alone, with auto-start, a hard auto-stop and an optional stop when the battery runs low. Saved as .m4a, exportable to Files.
-
Apple Watch
Start the camera and fire the shutter from your wrist. The phone stays in a pocket or on the table, and never comes out.
Your captures never leave the phone
There is no account, no cloud album and no upload. Photos and videos are written to a private album inside Eclipse, protected by Face ID, and stay on your device until you decide to export or share them.
Read the privacy policyUse it responsibly
Eclipse exists so you can photograph without a bright screen disturbing the people around you: at a concert, in a gallery, on a street, or while documenting something you have every right to document. Recording laws differ by country, and many places require the consent of the people being recorded. You are responsible for using Eclipse lawfully; please read the Terms of Use.
