TL;DR. ReplayCam is a small iPhone app that keeps filming and lets you watch the last 60 seconds back while it records. It costs $2.99 once, and its last update shipped in November 2017. There is no Android version. If you coach or train with an Android phone, ReplayR does the same job: it buffers 45 seconds to 12 minutes, saves the moment after it happens from the screen, a Bluetooth remote, a Wear OS watch or an open palm, and shows the camera on a 5 to 30 second delay on Pro. Free to start, one-time Pro unlock.

ReplayCam figures from its App Store listings, ReplayCam - timeshift camera and ReplayCam Lite, both by DreamGarage Inc. Last verified 26 September 2026.
ReplayCam got the idea right early. It came out when most camera apps still made you guess when to press record, and its pitch still holds: keep filming, look back when something happens. The App Store page lists golf swings, party tricks, a car dash cam and lab experiments as uses. The Time Shift view shows what the camera saw up to a minute ago while it keeps recording. The Replay view loops a selected clip so you can watch one movement over and over.
It is also cheap and simple: $2.99 once, no account, no subscription, and a free Lite version to try first. AirPlay output lets you throw the delayed picture onto a TV, which suits a garage golf net or a studio wall.
The listing has not changed since November 2017. Version 1.5.4 fixed a few bugs, and nothing has shipped since. The stated requirement is still iOS 8, the frame-rate notes still mention the iPhone 4, and the developer has not filled in Apple's privacy labels. The app is still for sale, so it may run fine on your phone, but no one is adding features or keeping up with new iOS versions.
The bigger gap for most people searching for it: there is no Android version, and there never was. The 60 second ceiling is the other limit. It covers a swing or a jump, but not a rally plus the serve before it, a gymnastics routine, or a BJJ round.
ReplayR is built on the same rule: the camera is always one step behind you, so you decide after the moment. The rolling buffer holds 45 or 90 seconds on the free tier and 3, 6 or 12 minutes with Pro. Nothing is written to storage until you save.
The save does not have to happen on the screen. A cheap Bluetooth selfie remote works, so do the phone's volume buttons, and the free Wear OS app puts a save button on your wrist. On Pro, an open palm toward the camera saves too. Setup notes are in saving a replay with a Bluetooth remote.
If you liked ReplayCam's Time Shift view, the closest match is ReplayR's delayed preview on Pro. The screen plays the camera back on a 5, 10, 15 or 30 second lag while the buffer keeps recording underneath, so you finish the rep, look up and watch it. ReplayCam reaches further back here, 60 seconds against 30. The difference is what happens next: in ReplayR a save still captures the live buffer, and the clip plays back in slow motion down to 0.25×, or 0.1× and frame by frame on Pro. Lag settings are in the delayed mirror guide.
After a session you swipe through the saved clips, keep or toss each one, and trim the keepers before anything reaches your gallery. Everything stays on the phone: no account, no cloud upload.
Same always-recording idea, still maintained, with up to 12 minutes of lookback, a save from a remote, your wrist or an open palm, and slow-motion review. Free to start, one-time Pro unlock.
