Redesigned iOS and Android companion apps for a shot-recording camera.

The opportunity

An app to rethink

The camera records each shot as a short clip, and its owners use a mobile app to view and manage recordings. The owners wanted a clearer app experience.

The solution

Redesigned for owners

Indeema redesigned the iOS and Android apps for wireless connection to the camera, instant clip playback and camera settings, with a new visual style.

The impact

ShotKam owns the camera; Indeema delivered the redesign of the companion apps.

Engineering judgement

Decisions that shaped the product

Map the system before redesigning

A shared component-and-interaction overview with the client's team set the boundary between the app, the camera and the third-party API.

Redesign around the core loop

The app experience was organized around connecting, reviewing the latest clips and adjusting settings.

Native apps on each platform

The apps were built natively for iOS and Android.
