Fairy’s Eye – Delay Camera

Fairy Solutions

About this app

See what just happened.

Fairy’s Eye turns your phone or tablet camera into a live-and-replay tool. Watch the world right now, and at the same time see what was on screen 5, 10, or 30 seconds ago — or pause and scrub through every recorded moment. Instant replay in your pocket, with no record button to remember to press.

WHY IT'S USEFUL

• Practice a dance move, golf swing, ski trick, or magic flourish — instantly review your last take in slow motion without losing the next one.
• Coach a sport in real time. Show your athlete the live action and a 5-second delayed view side by side; they can see and correct themselves while the action keeps going.
• Watch a science experiment, an animal, or a child unfold from multiple time offsets at once.
• Catch what you missed: pause on something interesting and step backward frame by frame.
• Line up two views on the exact same instant — or set a deliberate gap between them — then move them together while the spacing holds.
• Studio rehearsal, juggling drills, dexterity training — review your last attempt while you set up the next.

FEATURES
• Live multi-pane view — 1, 2, or 4 simultaneous streams from the same camera, each with its own delay (LIVE, −5 s, −10 s, −15 s …).
• Pause and scrub through the rolling buffer, landing on real recorded frames.
• Forward and reverse slow-motion playback in pause mode.
• Padlock control with 2 or 4 panes: unlock to place each pane on its own moment, lock again and scrub them as a group, keeping the spacing you set.
• Save buffered moments straight to your gallery as a real MP4 with sound — pick how many seconds back you want to keep.
• Snapshot button for full-resolution stills, saved to your gallery. It captures the pane's moment, so a delayed pane gives you the delayed frame.
• Pinch to zoom on any pane; drag with one finger to pan when zoomed in.
• Front / back camera switch with a single tap.
• 180° rotation toggle for tripod-mounted or upside-down setups.
• Capture resolution: SD, HD, or Full HD.
• History length: 1, 2, or 5 minutes of rewindable footage, as much as your device can hold.

PRIVACY

Everything happens on your device. There's no upload, no cloud, no account, no tracking. The rolling buffer lives in RAM only and disappears when the app exits — the only files ever written to disk are the clips and stills you explicitly choose to save. The Privacy Policy linked in Settings spells this out in full.

HISTORY AND QUALITY

Quality, streams and history all draw on the same memory, so Fairy’s Eye measures your device and offers only the combinations it can actually hold. Anything that would not fit is shown dimmed rather than hidden, so you can see what each choice costs instead of guessing.

Full HD is the sharpest and the hungriest, so it pairs naturally with the shorter windows; drop to HD or SD when you want the full five minutes across several streams. Raising quality can dim a history length that was available a moment ago — when that happens the app steps history down first, then the number of streams, and tells you in Settings.

A device with more memory will offer more here. Nothing is missing on yours; it is holding everything it can.

Changing camera, quality or history restarts the recording from empty — the app tells you before it does. Opening Settings and closing it again without changing anything costs you nothing.

A built-in Help dialog (the "?" inside Settings) explains every control inline if you forget what something does.

Whether you're learning a new skill, coaching a teammate, watching nature unfold, or just curious to rewind reality for a few seconds, Fairy’s Eye gives you a window into what your camera saw a moment ago — without ever pressing record.

What’s new

Welcome to FairiesEye.

See the world on a delay. Split your screen into 1, 2, or 4 live camera panes, each with its own time delay from 0 up to a full minute. Pinch to zoom, drag to pan, pause to scrub back through what just happened, and save the last few seconds straight to your gallery as a video.

Front or back camera, portrait or landscape, all wired up automatically. We hope it sparks something.
