Outputs through your audio/headphone jack to any camera, video recorder, or whatever!
Jam sync your cameras to your Android!

This is the ONLY app on the Android market (right now) that actually generates timecode that your devices can listen to. (Similar to iOS apps MovieSlate and Clockit)

Fully functional free version generates 24fps, 25fps, and 30fps NDF timecode, locked to time of day.

Upgrade to the paid version to unlock user bits, more framerates including 29.97 (NDF or DF) and 23.976, and the option to start timecode at a custom time instead of time of day.

Ratings and reviews

Synced great with my Tascam DR-701D via BNC. I did notice a difference of a few frames though between the app and recorder, but it did not drift at all for 4 hours, so all good. I'm hoping to use to record in free-run so I hope the camera being used will sync with it. It's clearly designed to give equipment a taste of smpte for free-run as it won't run in background, so not usable for people wanting to shoot on their 4K phones.

I was using this on my previous phone with no issues. I got a new phone and used the same Google Play account to reinstall all of my paid apps. This is the only app that asked me to pay for it again. I emailed the developer and he sounded agreeable to help but then he stopped responding to my emails. I have paid for an app that I no longer have access to.

I tried it on an ARRI Amira camera, but the jam sync pulse does not hold. I use an Ambient Clock it box on the same Amira and it jam syncs holds 24fps no problem. I use a Pixel 3A, does the app have a steady signal? I can see the Timecode on the screen but the camera wont accept it from the app.

Upgrade to the paid version to unlock user bits, more framerates including 29.97 (NDF or DF) and 23.976, and the option to start timecode at zero (00:00:00.00) instead of time of day.
