Home Movies

The camcorder, minus the shoulder injury.

Home Movies recreates the experience and character of shooting with a vintage video camera while taking advantage of the considerably more advanced camera already in your pocket.

Instead of treating every little recording as another disposable clip for your camera roll, Home Movies lets you record life onto 30-minute virtual tapes.

The full app. Yours to keep.

No account required. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions.

Every current feature included. No ads. Just download it free and start recording.

Now free on the U.S. App Store. For iPhone with iOS 18 or later.

Remember the camcorder?

You didn’t pull it out to manufacture a post. You recorded Christmas morning. The birthday party. The road trip. The summer of ’98.

You kept recording.

And eventually you had a tape.

A tape had a beginning. It had an end. It had terrible camera work. It had people talking to whoever was holding the camera. It had boring parts that somehow became the best parts twenty years later.

Most importantly, you actually watched it again.

Home Movies brings that idea back.

Create tapes around the people, places, years and events you actually want to remember.

Cast them to the big screen and watch them the way home movies were meant to be watched: together.
