ABOUT TOTTE
What is totte?
totte connects two iPhones directly. One becomes the camera; the other becomes a live viewer and remote shutter. The person in the photo can check the composition from where they stand and take the shot at the right moment—without handing a phone to a stranger or squeezing the whole scene into a selfie.

- Direct P2P connection—no internet required
- Price

Before you start

Using totte
How do the two iPhones connect?

Does totte record video?
totte currently supports photo capture. Video recording is not available.
What can I control from the Viewer?
You can see the live composition, take a photo, toggle the grid, tap to focus, and use a volume button as the shutter. Flash, zoom, and exposure are adjusted on the Camera, and their effect appears in the Viewer.
How far apart can the two iPhones be?
They can usually be separated far enough for a full-body photo, but range depends on the devices, obstacles, and nearby wireless traffic. Move them closer if the connection becomes unstable.

Where are photos saved?
Photos are saved to the in-app gallery on both the Camera and Viewer. You can manually export selected shots to Photos or enable automatic saving on either iPhone.
Are photos or the live feed uploaded to the cloud?
No. The live feed and photos are exchanged only between the two connected iPhones. If you opt in to diagnostics, crash data may be sent, but it never includes the contents of your photos, video feed, or audio.
Is totte free?
