Motion Augmentat-inator turns your phone into a live motion-detection camera. Point it at anything, and it highlights movement on screen in real time - no waiting, no cloud, no processing anywhere but your own device.
WHAT IT DOES
- Live motion highlighting: a continuously-adapting background model flags anything that moves, with an adjustable sensitivity slider so you can dial out noise (leaf shimmer, sensor grain) without missing real motion.
- Digital zoom, plus real optical zoom and lens switching on supported phones.
- Sensitivity zones: draw "ignore this area" boxes over anything that moves on its own (a fan, a road, a flag) so it stops triggering false detections.
- Heatmap / trail mode: see a color-graded trail of where motion has recently happened, not just this instant's movement, with an adjustable trail duration.
- Auto-record: recording starts automatically when motion is detected and keeps going for as long as motion continues, plus a short tail after it stops.
- Snapshot on motion, saved automatically at an interval you control.
- Manual exposure, ISO, frame rate, and focus controls (device-dependent), plus a focus-peaking overlay to help you nail manual focus.
- Mask-only and greyscale display modes, and a low-light brightness boost.
Everything runs locally, frame by frame, on your phone. Nothing is uploaded anywhere - see the privacy policy for details.
POSSIBLE USES
- Wildlife watching and hunting: mount your phone on a feeder, trail, or blind and catch movement you might otherwise miss, without dedicated trail-cam hardware. Always follow your local hunting and wildlife-viewing regulations regarding electronic aids - these vary by state and season, and it is your responsibility to know and follow them.
- Light industrial or shop use: point it at a machine, belt, or process to get a visual flag when something starts moving or vibrating that shouldn't be. This is a visual aid only, not a calibrated vibration sensor or safety interlock, and must never be used as either.
- Casual, short-term area monitoring: keep half an eye on a driveway, yard, porch, or workspace while you're nearby or stepping away briefly. This is NOT a security system. There are no alerts, no notifications, no remote viewing, and no cloud storage - if you walk away, nothing is watching but the phone itself, and nobody is notified of anything, ever. It's meant for casual, in-person, short-duration use, not unattended property security or anything where missing an event has serious consequences.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
This app is not a safety device. Never rely on it as the sole means of detecting people, animals, or hazards, especially anywhere firearms or machinery are involved. Motion detection can fail silently: low light, fast motion, an out-of-frame area, or a misconfigured sensitivity zone can all cause it to miss something real.
This app is not a substitute for professional security, safety, or monitoring equipment, and is not certified or rated for any life-safety, security, or industrial-safety purpose.
You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws, including hunting and wildlife regulations, workplace safety rules, and any local restrictions on recording video or audio.
Continuous camera and processing use will drain your battery and heat your device faster than normal use. Not intended for extended unattended operation without external power.
Provided as-is, with no warranty of any kind.

No account, no login, no ads, no analytics, no internet connection required or used. Your camera feed, recordings, and snapshots stay on your device and are never transmitted anywhere. Full privacy policy linked on this page.
