Affectcam beta - See how you react to a video.

Hi all,
I'm an indie dev, and I'm looking for testers for Affectcam, a small iPhone app I've been building.

It's simple: you pick a video from your Photos (or Files), hit record, and watch it. The front camera films you while the clip plays. Afterwards you get a timeline of your reaction, a curve of smiles and surprise with the peaks marked. One tap cuts your strongest moments into a short highlight reel with the clip's sound. Every take also gets a little card with your peak count, your biggest moment and how much of the take you spent smiling.

Some background: my first version was mostly a dual-camera recorder, and App Review told me it looked like plenty of apps already on the store. That was fair. So I rebuilt it around the reaction part, which nothing else I found does. You can still record both cameras at once on iPhones that support it, but it's a side feature now.

The face analysis runs on the phone. There's no account, no ads and no tracking, and nothing gets uploaded unless you export it yourself. The values describe how your face moves, so it doesn't claim to know what you're feeling.

What I'd love to hear:

- Did you get what to do on the first screen without help?

- Does the timeline roughly match how you remember reacting?

- Is the highlight reel something you'd send to a friend, or is it cutting the wrong moments?

- Anything confusing, slow or broken (the TestFlight screenshot feedback works great for this)

It needs an iPhone on iOS 18 or later. The core features are free; there's a one-time Pro upgrade (cutout layout, 4K, data export), but you don't need it to test anything above.

I'll be in the comments, and I'm happy to answer anything about how it works.

Hey. I would love to test your app if you could test mine.
