Hi everyone! Super excited to finally launch Phonitor on ProductHunt! 🎉
Use just a spare iPhone or iPad as a camera, and view live or playback on your daily iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro! It’s perfect for keeping an eye on your home and office, or staying connected with your baby and pets!
The idea actually hit me right before last year’s Apple Fall Event, when I was wondering, "What should I do with my old one?" Now, just in time for this year’s event, I'm bringing you Phonitor! It works as a webcam but goes further by prioritizing privacy 🔒. All essentials are synced via iCloud, and streams are securely established with P2P connections. Plus, all footage remains local, stored directly on your device for playback. With this solid foundation, even more exciting features are coming soon!
Now Phonitor is available on the App Store with a 7-day free trial to unlock all feats. Hope this app helps you rekindle some love for your old iPhones! So, are you ready to switch to the iPhone 16? :P
Super smart concept! I hate wasting stuff, and I always feel bad when I see old devices not being used anymore...
Phonitor looks great! What a good idea. I have a few old iPhones laying around, I will be installing this for sure. Congratulations on your launch!
This is cool I was actually trying to figure out a way to do something like this myself. Any chance you'll do Android in the future?
This is a brilliant idea! to use your old iPad or iPhone as a security camera is such a good use of tech that might otherwise sit around unused. I’m definitely trying this out.
Such a great way to avoid throwing away old devices! Turning them into security cameras not only saves money but is also an eco friendly solution. Great work on creating something so practical.
I really love how easy it sounds to set this up with a spare iPhone. It’s a great way to add an extra layer of security at home. The playback feature is a nice touch too!
this is a great way to repurpose old devices. the privacy focus makes it even better. i'm curious, how does it handle motion detection?
Thats awesome! What's the oldest version of the iPhone that this would work with? Got some old ones lying around... 😅
This is exactly the kind of simple and useful solution I’ve been looking for. Repurposing old devices into security cameras is such a great way to add extra security without spending on new equipment.
It's a fantastic way to repurpose on old iPhone of iPad! The ability to view the live feed from your everyday phone makes it super convenient. I’m sure a lot of people will benefit from this!
This is a super practical way to reuse old devices! Turning an old iPhone into a security camera is such a clever idea. Congrats on the launch, and I’m sure this will be really helpful for a lot of people!
Congrats on launch of Phonitor that helps convert mobile into security camera....
this is a great idea! Are there any plans to expand compatibility beyond iPhones and iPads in the future?
It's always great to see solutions that help us get more use out of our existing gadgets.
It would be cool to see an integration with HomeKit for automation with other smart devices around the house. Have you considered that?
