Short video for Eurosky and Bluesky

Hold to record.
Let go to post.

Blinky records while you hold the + button and posts the clip the moment you let go. Ten seconds to change your mind, subtitles written on your iPhone, and a For You feed that learns what you like.

How it works

One motion. No composer, no upload screen.

1

Hold +

Press and hold the + button. Blinky records up to 20 seconds of live video, back camera, front camera, or both.

2

Let go

Release, and the clip is on its way. A ten-second countdown gives you time to cancel; swipe, and it's gone.

3

Done

It uploads in the background, progress on your Lock Screen. Subtitles are written on your iPhone and go with the clip.

Subtitles, written on your iPhone.

Every clip you post can carry subtitles, written on the device as you record, so nothing leaves your phone to be transcribed. They show whenever the sound is off, and VoiceOver works everywhere in the app.

Feeds

Every video feed, one tap away.

For You learns from your likes. Following shows the people you chose. Bluesky's own video feed and the community's, from OG Videos to CatSky, are in the same menu. No algorithm you can't switch off.
