🎥 Background Video Recorder — Record with Screen Off & While Using Other Apps

Background Video Recorder helps you record videos smoothly even when the app is closed, while using other apps, or when your screen is off / phone is locked (device support may vary). It’s built for reliable recording, easy controls, and powerful storage management — all in one clean app.

This app is designed for legitimate use cases like lectures, interviews, work documentation, field recordings, content capture, and personal memories — with transparent recording behavior (recording runs with a persistent notification when required by Android).

🔒 Privacy Note

Your recordings are stored locally on your device. We do not upload your videos to external servers unless you choose to share/export them.

⚠️ Important

Background recording behavior can vary by Android version and device brand due to system restrictions and battery optimizations. Please use responsibly and follow local laws and privacy rules.
