LET’S GET YOU
ROLLING.

TAKE is currently available to invited testers through TestFlight. Accept the invitation on your iPhone and install the current build. Public download is coming later. Email us if you have a question about availability.

Check that your iPhone runs iOS 18 or later and that you accepted your TAKE invitation in TestFlight. Beta builds can expire. If you still cannot install, email us the message you see and we can check your invitation and build access.

Voice commands need iOS 26 and an iPhone that supports Apple’s on device speech model. TAKE checks compatibility in the voice settings. Core recording, reference overlays and audio mixing remain available on iOS 18 or later.

Allow microphone access in iPhone Settings, keep TAKE open and use an internet connection for the initial speech model download. Try setup again from the voice panel. Touch recording controls remain available.

Enable voice control in the studio, then say “Hey Take, start recording”, “Hey Take, pause”, “Hey Take, resume” or “Hey Take, stop”. In Photo mode, say “Hey Take, take a photo”. The current version recognizes English commands. Keep the app open in the studio and check the visible recording state.

Tap Reference in the studio and select a video from Photos or Files. Adjust opacity, mirroring, fit and start position to suit your shot. The translucent overlay is a preview guide. To include a reference section in your finished video, enable Pause between scenes and choose Use clip for that scene.

If reference playback comes from your iPhone speaker, the microphone can record it from the room. Use headphones to help prevent this. The choice to include reference audio in the export is separate from playback monitoring.

Yes, if microphone audio is included, your spoken commands can be in the recording. TAKE does not automatically remove them. You can exclude microphone audio in the sound mix.

Switch to Photo in the studio, choose your aspect ratio and tap the shutter. Your reference can help with framing and stays out of the saved photo. Open My Takes to preview, share or save it to Photos.

Open Studio settings and select a resolution and frame rate. TAKE offers up to 4K at 60 FPS where the selected camera supports it. Camera changes may require a lower quality. Cropping to a different aspect ratio reduces saved dimensions.

Open Reference and tap Detect scenes, review the suggestions, then apply them. You can also enable Pause between scenes and use Add cut. Select a scene to adjust or remove its starting cut. Choose Record me or Use clip for each section. TAKE pauses before your next recorded scene. The main button shows Record scene and continues the same take with a countdown. After the last scene, review your work and tap Finish take. Timing and detection offers five or ten seconds and detection sensitivity. Scenes before Start at are skipped.

Yes. During the countdown, tap the main cancel button to return to the paused state. The separate Finish button saves the take. Canceling a retake keeps your previously saved scene. Countdown and preparation time are excluded from the video.

Open My Takes to preview, share or save to Photos. The library is local to TAKE. Save important photos and clips before deleting the app. Copies you already saved to Photos or Files are kept separately.

Yes. In Reference, tap Play scene on a scene card. Playback stops at that scene boundary. Use Play, Pause or Replay to check its timing.

After a scene saves, tap its thumbnail in the Your Take strip. You can watch your recording or choose Retake scene. Your other scenes stay in place. The old scene is replaced only after the new one saves. Finish the take to create one video.

Chrome may have saved the video in Files. In TAKE, tap Reference, then Browse Files and check Recents or your download folder. If the file is greyed out, check its format. TAKE needs a video format supported by iOS.

TAKE compares small video frames locally to suggest clear visual cuts. Fewer cuts is the default and favors scenes lasting at least one second. It filters brief flashes and uses recent motion as context. Detection can miss gradual transitions or split shots you consider one scene. Review the suggestions, adjust cuts or remove them. Detection does not upload your video or need an AI model download.

Choose Use clip for that scene. TAKE skips recording it and inserts the reference section into your finished video. Keep clip sound controls its audio, and your microphone is excluded during that section. Use clips you own or have permission to use.

Open My Takes again to look for the recording. TAKE can recover finalized camera files after an interrupted export, but a file that never finished recording may not be playable. Keep storage available and save important clips after each session.

A take can be up to 10 minutes. TAKE checks for available storage before recording. Available space, device temperature and system interruptions can still affect a session.
