The moment before

Keep the seconds
before you press.

While the camera is running, Torimado keeps up to 10 seconds before your press. Choose Photos for the earlier frames, or Clip for the movement.

Pre-roll photographs are frames from video. Set Before I press to none for a full-resolution still instead.

On your scope

A little less hunting.
A little more watching.

AF · Bird detection

The green box follows the bird. Autofocus follows with it.

Best for single birds. For distant small birds or dense flocks, switch detection off.

Made for your scope

Read the light.
Inside the circle.

Torimado finds the eyepiece circle and measures light and colour inside it, away from the black surround. No scope profile to choose.

Set a slowest shutter speed. As the light falls, the app raises ISO before letting the exposure grow longer.

It stays on the lens you chose, so zooming does not switch you away from the eyepiece.

A heron rests at the water’s edge beneath a broad wall of golden reeds.

The bird’s return

Leave it
watching.

Frame a perch or a feeding spot. Press Trap. When a bird arrives, Torimado captures it for you.

Choose Photos, Clip, or Until it leaves. The screen reads Watching while the Trap is armed.

Set up the Trap

Stay a little longer

Hands off the scope.
Eyes on the bird.

Use your Apple Watch as the shutter, without touching the phone.

Tap 🌙 to blank the screen while recording continues. Tap the screen to bring it back.

If the phone gets hot, Torimado lowers capture quality, tells you, and restores your settings as it cools. Storage is shown as minutes of recording left.
