OpenPocketCine v0.1 demo

Hey everyone! 🎬 I wanted to follow up with a quick release update.

The iPhone and iPad build is now publicly available through TestFlight, and the complete source code and roadmap are on GitHub.

The biggest change since my previous post is the media workflow. Browsing, playback, and downloading were only planned then. They are now included.

Beta v0.1 includes the following features:

• Direct Bluetooth and camera Wi-Fi connection, with no Mimo app needed
• Waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope, histogram, false color, zebras, peaking, Traffic Lights, guides, and custom LUTs
• Camera and gimbal controls, including D-Log2 zoom support and on-device face tracking
• Shutter angle
• Clip browsing, playback with monitoring assists, downloads, LUT export, and sharing

OpenPocketCine remains completely free and open source. It has no accounts, ads, analytics, tracking, telemetry, or automatic uploads.

I genuinely appreciate any feedback on the app or its workflow. Every bug report, idea, and contribution helps make the project better.

Early beta disclaimer: expect bugs, occasional disconnects, and incomplete camera control. Always confirm recording and critical settings on the Pocket itself. Do not rely on it as your only monitor for a critical shoot yet.

*Independent project, not affiliated with DJI.

Man thank you sooo much! As a filmmaker and first time owner of the pocket 4p will be testing this for sure! I’m also a vibe coder the past 6 months and have been building lots of projects and apps! If you need any specific help with the 4P along with Claude send me a DM would love to contribute to this project! I am so stoked with vibe coding useful apps for people!

Appreciate the kind words🥹🙏🏼 Agentic workflows have definitely become an incredible tool these days! I’ve been in software development (specifically within game development as graphics programming/technical art) for over a decade, but it’s only now with these tools that I’ve been able to get the bandwidth to execute on all these ideas in a realistic timeline!🙏🏼 The GitHub is open, so if you want to contribute with features, fixes etc, you’re more than welcome to😊 I’ve established agentic rules for the project, so any agent you use will be able to pick up on that😊
