- Local Files storage
- Peer camera over local network
Record the moments that match your target.
Detective AI Recorder is built for long watches where full-length video would waste storage. The app starts with a local camera preview, watches for your target, and lets you save confirmed sessions when the moment is ready.
- Choose a targetPick common targets like person, dog, cat, bird, car, bottle, or chair, or enter a custom phrase such as white dog or red car.
- Arm detectionThe recorder watches the camera feed and starts temporary local capture when a matching object or movement appears.
- Confirm the eventTracking, sensitivity, and short-term memory help reject weak hits while keeping confirmed segments ready.
- Save the sessionConfirmed segments are merged into one clip in Files under On My iPhone > Detective AI Recorder.
Designed for private, practical capture.
The app focuses on useful controls for real-world recording: object targets, motion mode, camera zoom, peer camera viewing, and clear session state.
On-device AI analysis
Core ML object analysis runs on the iPhone. There is no ProductivityApps cloud account, upload queue, or remote detection service.
Session-based clips
Temporary unconfirmed segments are deleted automatically. Confirmed segments stay pending until you save, discard, or keep watching.
Peer camera viewing
Pair a nearby iPhone on the same local network with a short pairing code and an encrypted peer session for private remote viewing.
Advanced controls
Adjust sensitivity, tracking profile, camera zoom, motion zoom assist, and live detection overlay to fit the scene.
