Shoot once.
Save both crops.

PostReady records one iPhone take and saves two synced files, a portrait 9:16 and a landscape 16:9, from the same single take. One lens, two crops, no reshoot. Local-only, no account.

Two crops, one take

Frame for both. Record once.

PostReady writes two crops of the same frame in real time, so the same moment lands ready for a vertical feed and a widescreen destination, without shooting it twice.

THE CAPTURE LOOP

One press, two files saved

Press record once and PostReady writes both crops from the single source frame, with audio, using two separate writers. When you stop, a portrait 9:16 file and a landscape 16:9 file both save to your Photos library, ready to publish. No editor, no export step, no second version to make by hand.

THE FRAMING LOOP

Compose for tall and wide before you commit

Two live framing guides, the 9:16 portrait crop and the 16:9 landscape crop, sit on the viewfinder so you can land your subject inside both before you record. Switch between the front and back camera, toggle audio on or off, and choose MOV or MP4 output. That one composed shot is the whole skill.

Read this first

"Dual" means dual aspect ratio, not dual camera.

PostReady records from one lens and writes two crops of that same frame. It is not front+back recording, not multicam, not picture-in-picture, and not a reaction tool, and the maker would rather tell you now than after you install.

● What it is

One take, two synced crops

From a single take on one lens, you get a 9:16 portrait file and a 16:9 landscape file at once, no reshoot, no re-crop. The free tier is genuinely usable: 1080p30 dual output with audio, no watermark, no account.

● What it is not

No front+back, no editing

Cameras switch one at a time, you cannot record both at once. There is no picture-in-picture, no trimming, captions, effects, teleprompter, or posting to platforms. Those still happen in your usual tools.

● Honest caveat

The overlay is a guide, not a WYSIWYG

The live crop overlay is a framing guide, not a pixel-exact preview of the saved file. Leave a little margin around the edges. And if a save to Photos fails, your local file is kept on the device so you can retry.

If you came here wanting a front+back reaction recorder, this is the wrong app, and I'd rather tell you now.
Methodology

How it records both crops from one take.

PostReady doesn't do anything magic, it reads one source frame and writes two crops of it at once. Here is exactly what happens, end to end, so you know what you're getting.

  1. Frame with both guides

    The viewfinder shows a live 9:16 portrait guide and a 16:9 landscape guide at the same time, so you can land your subject inside both crops before you commit. This is the whole skill, compose once for tall and wide.

  2. One source frame, two writers

    When you press record, PostReady captures from a single lens (front or back) and, in real time, writes two crops of that same frame using two separate AVFoundation asset writers, one portrait, one landscape, with synced audio. There is no second pass and no re-encode after the fact.

  3. Save two synced files

    On stop, both files save to your Photos library via add-only access. If a save fails, the local file is kept on the device so you can retry, and the last 20 recordings stay available for re-export.

  4. Publish to two destinations

    The 9:16 file fits a vertical feed, Reels, TikTok, Shorts, and the 16:9 file fits a widescreen destination, YouTube, a website, a projector, a deck. Both are the same moment, so there's nothing to reconcile.

PostReady follows Apple's framing conventions: 9:16 is the standard vertical ratio for phone video and 16:9 the standard widescreen ratio. The live crop overlay is a framing guide, not a pixel-exact preview of the saved file, leave a little margin. Sources: Apple AVFoundation (AVAssetWriter), Apple PhotoKit.

What it does, and doesn't

Honest about the edges.

PostReady does

  • Save a portrait 9:16 and a landscape 16:9 file from one take
  • Show live 9:16 and 16:9 framing guides while you record
  • Capture 1080p dual output with audio, free, with no watermark
  • Let you pick front or back camera and MOV or MP4 output
  • Keep your last 20 recordings on device, recoverable if a save fails
  • Run fully on-device on iPhone (iOS 17+), with no account

PostReady doesn't

  • Record front and back at the same time, it's one lens at a time
  • Do picture-in-picture, multicam or a reaction layout
  • Trim, add captions, effects, a teleprompter, or post to platforms
  • Match the overlay pixel-for-pixel, it's a guide, not WYSIWYG
  • Upload anywhere, sync to a cloud, or run any analytics or ads
  • Run on Android or the web (iPhone only)
Good to know

Straight answers, including the no's.

The questions people actually search before they install, answered plainly, the no's included.

Can PostReady record portrait and landscape video at the same time on iPhone?

Yes. PostReady records one take from a single lens and writes two crops of that same frame in real time, then saves a portrait 9:16 file and a landscape 16:9 file to Photos at once. You compose with both live framing guides, press record once, and get two synced files with no reshoot and no re-crop.

Does PostReady record the front and back cameras at the same time?

No. PostReady records from one lens at a time. You can switch between the front and back camera, but it does not record both simultaneously, and there is no picture-in-picture, multicam or reaction mode. "Dual" refers to dual aspect ratio, not dual camera.

What does "dual" mean in PostReady?

Dual aspect ratio. From one take on one lens, PostReady saves two cropped files, a portrait 9:16 and a landscape 16:9, so the same moment is ready for a vertical feed and a widescreen destination without shooting it twice.

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. PostReady is fully on-device. There is no account, no sign-in, no cloud upload, no ads, and no analytics or tracking SDK, the app does not connect to any server. Photos access is add-only: it saves the videos you keep but cannot read your existing library.

What is free and what needs Pro in PostReady?

Free saves clips up to 1 minute each at 1080p dual output with audio, no watermark and no account, and keeps your last 20 recordings on device for re-export. Pro removes the 1-minute cap and adds 4K capture, 60 fps, HEVC encoding, self-timer, mirrored selfies and pro composition grids. Pro is sold Monthly, Yearly (with an optional 7-day free trial for new subscribers) or Lifetime, at Apple's local pricing.

Will the saved file match the live crop overlay exactly?

Close, but not pixel-exact. The live crop overlay is a framing guide, not a WYSIWYG preview of the final file, so leave a little margin around the edges of your subject. The 9:16 and 16:9 files are cut from the same source frame, so the two crops stay in sync with each other.
