Hey Camera - Hands Free Camera
Voice & Gesture Camera
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases
Hey Camera is the hands-free camera for iPhone, controlled by your voice or a simple hand gesture. Say "Photo" or hold up your hand and it takes the shot — perfect for group photos, tripod shots, selfies from a distance and vlogging. No tapping, no timer scramble, no running back into frame.
SAY IT
• "Photo" — take a picture
• "Video" / "Stop" — start and stop recording
• "Reverse" — flip the camera
• "Flash on" / "Flash off"
Every phrase is yours to change in Settings. Speech recognition runs entirely on your device — nothing is sent anywhere, and it works without a connection.
SHOW IT
Hold up an open palm and the camera fires. Perfect for group photos, tripod shots, and anything more than an arm's length away.
A SERIOUS CAMERA, TOO

more I’ve only used this for fifteen minutes, but I already I’m very happy with it. I came from a Samsung. Instant Voice control was native to the phone. And the lack of that feature has been my biggest beef with the 14 Pro. I seriously considered trading in this three month old phone on that principle alone. All the shortcuts I tried for the iOS system were incredibly slow in response time. This app is immediate and I love that. Defs worth the $3 But there are a couple of things I’ve noticed that hopefully you can improve for the future.1) I don’t need a visual indicator that my photo has been saved. Because I’m often doing rapid shooting, it just gets in the way of the next photo I want to shoot. Plz consider making it optional. 2) I’d like to access my macro and wide angle functions3) when recording video, plz have it truncate the recording at the point the command ‘Stop Video’ is issued. It’s really weird to hear that at the end of every video clip and a
Developer Response Thank you for your valuable feedback! In reference to #1 I added an option in version 3.3.0 to disable the "capture save indicator". You can access that in settings and turn it off now.Glad you are enjoying the app!

This app is awesome. I am a home inspector and take around 200 pictures during a job. A lot of the pics I need are in tight spots and sometimes extremely difficult to push the button on the phone while also holding a flashlight in a very strategic spot. This has been a game changer for me. Originally I was bummed because it did not have an auto focus built in which was really a crucial piece of the puzzle. I wrote the developer and within a couple weeks the feature was added and I was sent a personal response about my concern!! Thats great business if you ask me!! Extremely happy with this app 💪

For my use, there is no substitute for what this app accomplishes. It's the equivalent of having another person on hand.It solves two of my major handicaps when attempting a snapshot using one hand.1) Holding an object using both hands while attempting a snapshot2) My challenge of pressing the shutter button while holding iphone with one hand.My phone (XS Max) is so big along with it's case, that it's next to impossible for me to do this, and I have fairly large hands.Positioning the iphone and propping it up in the right location is MUCH easier than trying to be an octopus in this situation.Besides the main snapshot feature, there are many more settings & adjustments available to tailor this app for one's use.You might not use an app like this often, but when you do, it's indispensable!

I am visually impaired and rely on voiceover to do everything on my phone. This app has some wonderful features however it is worthless in terms of its level of accessibility. I just downloaded the latest version and it asked me to enable camera microphone etc. however when I try to get there using voiceover and gestures it does not work. The developer is aware of this I am certain as I’ve seen other people complain about some of the issues related to accessibility. You could have a lot of new customers who are visually impaired if you get those repaired. I rated only one star due to this feature or lack there of however if it is fixed I will probably rated a four or five but not until it’s fixed
Developer Response Thank you for your feedback. The latest release has accessibility improvements and I want to make it better. I hope this helps.
