  "account": "Welcome to Indie App Spotlight, a weekly 9to5Mac series showcasing the latest indie apps. If you're seeking a nostalgic video experience from your iPhone footage, Flipcorder may be the perfect app for you. Designed specifically for iPhone Duo, though compatible with all iPhone models, Flipcorder offers a unique way to record and store your videos.\n\nMuch like a real camcorder, Flipcorder records footage to a tape, preserving up to 30 minutes of content in one tape. However, instead of capturing continuous videos, Flipcorder divides your footage into 20-second segments, one at a time, reminiscent of the way old-school camcorders worked. This feature encourages users to capture fleeting moments without the need for extensive editing.\n\nThe app's interface, particularly on iPhone Duo, boasts a nostalgic feel with a larger display that provides a preview of your footage. While Flipcorder offers styles akin to VHS and MiniDV, users can also opt for high-quality video recordings, benefiting from the unique cassette-style compilation feature. Flipcorder is a one-time purchase of $4.99 from the App Store, devoid of any additional in-app purchases or ads.\n\nFlipcorder is compatible with iOS 26 and later versions.
