ShelledCam – Silent Camera

ShelledCam | Quiet & Safe Silent Camera
Stay quiet where silence matters. Record in the dark without light pollution.

A quiet, safe silent camera for moments when a shutter sound or a bright screen would bother the people around you.
Capture comfortably without sound or light in libraries, museums and concert halls, wherever the rules allow.
Free and ad-supported, with every feature working from the first launch.

How It Works: Every Feature Is Free, and One Ad Clears the Ads
Watch one ad and every ad in the app goes away for a while – the one at camera start and the banners
Watch more to add more ad-free time
Ads are requested with the sound off
No payment and no subscription

Privacy First
No account or sign-in needed
Photos and videos stored only on your device, no cloud uploads
The network is used only for ads, app settings and diagnostics such as crash reports – see the privacy policy for details

4 Capture Modes
Preview Mode (default): Use like a regular camera with silent shutter
Silent Black Mode: Capture or record on a black screen, so no light spills into a dark room
Floating Mode: Capture from a small window floating over other apps
Background Recording: Keeps recording with the screen off, so no screen light reaches the people around you

Simple, Calm Controls
One page, no tabs: pick a mode and start right from the capture card
Preview mode: zoom, tap to focus, focus and exposure lock, and an exposure slider – clear slides and signs without the flash
Light, Dark or system theme, plus wallpaper colors on Android 12+ – Dark keeps the app dim at night, and the capture screen always stays black

Convenient Home Screen Widgets
One tap opens the camera, so the moment doesn't pass while you look for the app
Three widgets – photo, video or both – added from inside the app and styled on one settings screen
Pick colors, corner radius and a background image so each widget fits your home screen

All Advanced Features Free
Broad device compatibility and support for the latest Android versions
Silent shutter with a short vibration, volume-key capture, auto lens detection, wide-angle support
Quick capture mode for instant shots
Low-light video optimization
Continuous shooting (each tap takes the next photo without waiting) and auto-capture every 1–10 seconds

Powerful Floating Mode
Resize the window freely (mini to large) so it doesn't cover the app you're using
Optional safe exit: floating mode closes and saves the recording the next time you open your phone
Drag outside screen to instantly close
