What ShowCam is

ShowCam is an iOS app that records presentation material, a camera bubble, and narration together in one video. It supports photo slideshows, videos, interactive web pages, PDFs, Markdown files, and text files. During recording, users can move through slides, scrub videos, tap links, scroll pages, and point with a laser pointer. The camera bubble can use the front or rear camera, and narration is mixed with app audio in sync. Recordings stay in the app library, can be saved automatically to Photos, and can be shared. The free plan is free and allows 30 minutes of recording per day, resetting at midnight; it includes the presentation sources, both cameras, a laser pointer, saving and sharing, and no watermark. Pro adds unlimited recording, markup, background effects, camera styling, and no ads. Plans are $4.99 a month billed weekly, $24.99 a year billed yearly, or $29.99, paid once. The maker says recordings remain on-device unless exported or shared. ShowCam requires iOS 17 or later; compatibility also lists iPad, Mac with Apple M1 or later, and Apple Vision.
