Session Cam
Record your whole session.
Keep just the action.
Session Cam is a free app that watches for motion and saves only the moments that matter: every jump, bunny-hop, trick or run, ready to review and share.
Get it on the App StoreFree, for iPhone. No account, no subscription, no ads.
A real Session Cam supercut from Berthoud Bike Park: 16 minutes of recording, 11 jumps kept.
- Just the attemptsHours of standing around become a few seconds per attempt, with a moment of lead-in and follow-through. No scrubbing through footage.
- Focus on the spotSwitch to ZONE and drag the start zone over the jump, so people walking by in the background don't count. Or leave it on AUTO for the whole frame, or MANUAL to mark each attempt yourself.
- Review and shareUncheck the warm-ups, then share a supercut, individual attempts, or 30-second parts ready for Strava.
- Private by designEverything stays on your iPhone. No account, no tracking, nothing uploaded. Privacy policy
See what your body is doing
Turn on body pose and Session Cam finds your skeleton in every attempt, right on the iPhone. It follows you in the camera view, over replays, and in the videos you share.
Put two attempts side by side
Pick any two attempts and Session Cam lines them up on the moment that matters, whether that's the top of the air or wherever else you point it, then plays them together. The two skeletons go one on top of the other with the framing taken out, so what's left between them is the difference in the movement. Pinch to zoom both at once, and tap any angle to trace that joint across the whole attempt. Send the comparison out as a video, the skeletons and angles burned in, for a coach or a rider who doesn't have the app.
Two attempts on the same jump, held at the same moment, with the angles that differ between them.
Or just time the laps
Switch to Laps, drag the start line across the track, and every crossing is timed. The lap comes up on your wrist as you ride past.
No tripod needed
Session Cam only asks that the phone stays still. A tripod is tidy, but so is whatever you already have with you at the spot.




I made this
I'm Stan. I built Session Cam because I kept filming twenty minutes to get five seconds worth watching, and then scrubbing through the lot on the drive home.
This app is a tool I built for myself, not a company. It's free, there's no subscription and no upsell, no account to make, and nothing leaves your iPhone: not your video, not your location, not a single analytics ping.
Please send me any ideas or bug reports, and I'd love it if you shared clips you filmed with the app.
Want what's next?
New features land in a beta first, through Apple's TestFlight. It's the same free app, a few weeks ahead, and rougher for it.
Join the betaIf something breaks, tell me — that's the point of it.
