Yes, completely free, with no in-app purchases, no subscription, and no ads. Every feature is unlocked from the first launch, and the SplitRig logo comes off free in one tap.

Up to 4K. On supported iPhones, SplitRig records the rear camera in 4K inside your Picture in Picture or Split Screen video, at 24 or 30 fps, in HEVC at 40 Mbps (4K 30 fps). Full HD 1080p at 30 fps is the default. Choose 24 fps for a cinematic look; Action Cam records at 60 fps for fast motion.

No. SplitRig collects zero personal data, has no analytics, and requires no account. All recordings stay on your device. Beyond camera and microphone, the optional permissions are Photos (to save recordings to your library), location (only when you enable a GPS overlay: Speedometer, Distance, Altitude, Pace, or Goal), and motion (for speed accuracy). No data leaves the device.

Face Mode removes your background live, on your iPhone: only you stay, placed over the view of the back camera, like a virtual green screen. Picture in Picture keeps the front camera's full picture in a small window you can move and resize, shaped as a rectangle or a circle.

Yes. You can switch between Face Mode, Picture in Picture, Split Screen, and Single Camera mid-recording without interruption. Zoom levels and camera swap also work mid-recording.

Yes. The SplitRig Apple Watch companion gives you full control: start/stop, switch layouts, change zoom, swap cameras, toggle flash, mute audio, and take screenshots, all without touching the iPhone.

Yes. Plug a USB-C or Lightning mic into your iPhone (Rode, Shure, DJI, or a wireless kit's receiver) and SplitRig records from it, with no settings to change. Audio records at 48 kHz (AAC, 160 kbps) into the same file as your video. You can hot-swap mics mid-recording.

Seven activity types: Walking, Running, Cycling, Driving, Skiing, Skating, General. Live overlays include Speedometer, Distance, Duration, Altitude, Pace, Goal Gauge, Sound Level Meter, and SplitRig Logo: all draggable, resizable, and baked into the recording.

Yes. On iOS 26 with H2-chip AirPods (AirPods Pro 2, AirPods 4, AirPods Pro 3), enable Camera Remote in Settings → [Your AirPods] → Camera Remote. A press on the stem then starts and stops recording in SplitRig, no need to touch the phone.
