Features
Two ways to catch the moment
React after the big play with Auto Rec, or use Standard Record when you need the full take. Then keep only the clips worth revisiting.
Save what just happened
Enable Auto Rec before the play and choose 15, 30, or 60 seconds. After the goal, spike, save, finish, or great moment, tap the shutter to keep the recent action.
Record the full take
Standard Record handles complete drills, rallies, and longer sequences with familiar start-and-stop recording.
Delete misses fast
If the play was not a keeper, delete the new clip from the post-save tagging screen and get ready for the next moment.
Organize keepers in Photos
Create up to five custom tags for players, teams, moments, or review categories. Choosing a tag adds the clip to a matching album in Apple Photos.
Made for game day
Sport Recorder keeps the camera interface focused and dependable in portrait or landscape, with device-aware zoom, audio when microphone access is available, and a workflow built to get you ready for the next play quickly.

- Portrait and landscape recording
- Device-aware zoom controls
- 15, 30, and 60-second Auto Rec choices

Why Sport Recorder
A faster sports camera workflow for moments you cannot predict
Goals, saves, spikes, finishes, and great plays do not wait for you to press Record. Sport Recorder is an iPhone sports video recorder for parents, coaches, and athletes who need to capture the action, discard the miss, and get ready for the next play.
Auto Rec solves the timing problem. Enable it before the action, choose a 15, 30, or 60-second window, and keep Sport Recorder open and active. When the moment happens, tap afterward to save the recent video instead of recording the entire game and trimming it later.
Standard Record handles the moments you can plan: full drills, rallies, practice sequences, interviews, and longer takes. After either type of recording, the post-save screen lets you delete a miss or choose a custom tag that adds the keeper to a matching album in Apple Photos.

How to save a sports play after it happens
Auto Rec is designed for action that is difficult to predict. The setup happens before the play; the save happens after it.
Get ready before the action
Open Sport Recorder and enable Auto Rec before the play you want to capture.
Choose the recent-video window
Select 15, 30, or 60 seconds before the action begins.
Keep Sport Recorder active
Leave the app open and active. Auto Rec does not operate in the background.
Tap after the moment
After the goal, spike, save, finish, catch, block, or other highlight, tap to keep the recent video.
Delete the miss or tag the keeper
Use the post-save screen to delete the new clip or choose one of up to five custom tags.
Use the clip in Apple Photos
A chosen tag adds the clip to a matching Photos album for sharing, editing, or later review.
Auto Rec or Standard Record?
Both modes save sports video to your iPhone, but they solve different recording problems.

Who Sport Recorder is for
Sport Recorder is useful anywhere the important moment is brief, the timing is uncertain, and the next play is coming quickly.
Coaches recording drills and review clips
Use Standard Record for complete drills or Auto Rec for individual plays, then tag keepers by player, team, moment, or review category in Photos albums.
Athletes building a highlight collection
Save the plays worth revisiting and keep them organized in Apple Photos, ready for editing, sharing, feedback, or a future highlight reel.
Fast and unpredictable sports
Use the same workflow for volleyball spikes, soccer goals and saves, football catches, basketball shots and blocks, baseball or softball plays, hockey, lacrosse, gymnastics, track finishes, and more.

Frequently asked questions
Before the next play
What is the difference between Auto Rec and Standard Record?
Auto Rec keeps recent video ready while the app is open, so you can tap after a play to save what just happened. Standard Record captures normally from the moment you start until you stop.
How much can Auto Rec save?
Choose 15, 30, or 60 seconds before the action. With Auto Rec already running, tap after the moment to save the recent video.
Does Auto Rec work in the background?
No. Sport Recorder must remain open and Auto Rec must be enabled before the action you want to save.
What do custom tags do?
You can create up to five custom tags. Choosing one adds the saved clip to a matching album in Apple Photos, where you can use the tools already on your iPhone.
Does Qube collect my clips or activity?
No. The App Store privacy label states that the developer does not collect data, and clips remain under your device and Photos-library controls.
Where can I get Sport Recorder?
Sport Recorder is available for iPhone on the App Store and requires iOS 18.2 or later.
