About this app

PairSnap connects iPhone and Android as one wireless remote camera system. Use either phone as the camera and the other as the remote shutter — watch a live preview, shoot from a distance, and receive the photo on the phone in your hand. Android-to-Android and iPhone-to-iPhone connections are supported too.

Perfect for group photos where nobody is left out, self-portraits, pet and wildlife shots, and tripod setups.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi
2. Share the connection key via QR code
3. Start one as "camera" and the other as "shutter" — that's it

FEATURES
• Live preview on the shutter device
• Photos transfer instantly to the device in your hand
• Timer, flash, front/rear camera switch, quality settings
• Choose where photos are saved — camera device or your device
• Shutter sound on/off, preview on/off

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Devices connect directly over your local network (P2P)
• No internet, no external servers, no account required
• Your photos never leave your network
• Encrypted connection with key-based authentication

Note: both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network (a personal hotspot works too). No internet connection is needed, so it works even outdoors with no signal.
