Hey Product Hunt
Two months ago, I launched Dualora here a dual-format camera app for Android that lets you record once and export both landscape (16:9) and portrait (9:16) from a single take.
I wanted to come back and say thank you.
Since launch:
180+ downloads on Google Play
5.0 star rating every single review a 5
Real people, real words: "The best app I've ever seen", "Awesome platform", "love it!"
For a solo indie developer building, these aren't just numbers. They're proof that the problem was real and the solution actually landed.
The app has gotten noticeably more optimised since launch too smoother previews, more reliable exports, and a few rough edges smoothed out from user feedback. Still running 100% on-device. No cloud. No account. No subscription.
To everyone who downloaded, reviewed, shared, or upvoted on launch day thank you. This community gave Dualora its first real audience and I won't forget that.
If you haven't tried it yet:

On to the next milestone.

I like that Dualora fixes this while recording, not after. Seeing both 16:9 and 9:16 live on screen feels much more practical than guessing and hoping the crop will work later.
Curious if you plan to add safe-zone guides for captions, UI overlays, or platform-specific crops in the future?
Dualora
@andrasczeizel TThanks so much for checking out Dualora! That's exactly why we built it—trying to guess the framing and hoping the crop works out in post-production is a massive headache for creators.
Your suggestion about adding safe-zone guides for captions, platform UI overlays, and specific crops is fantastic and highly practical. I am definitely adding that to our roadmap for future updates. Thanks for the valuable feedback!
This solves a real pain for creators — recording once and getting both formats natively is way better than cropping after the fact. The quality always suffers when you crop.
Does it split the feeds in post or actually record two separate video files simultaneously?
Dualora
@doganakbulutThanks for the appreciation
To answer your question: because we are focusing heavily on Android, performance stability during recording is our top priority. Rendering two high-resolution video streams simultaneously can heavily tax a phone's hardware and risk dropped frames.
Instead, Dualora captures the raw feed efficiently and then uses a queue to render out the two separate, native video files right after you finish recording. This ensures your phone stays cool and your recording remains perfectly smooth!
Awesome work! Does the portrait capture intelligently follow a subject? For people who aren't directly in the middle of their landscape shot it would be super useful to be able to reframe the portrait shot ◡̈
Dualora
@oscardog Thank you! That is an incredibly smart feature idea.
Right now, the feature isn't there yet the portrait crop is centered. However, allowing creators to dynamically reframe the portrait shot or track a subject out-of-center is a fantastic use case that we are absolutely adding to our future product roadmap.
Thanks for helping us shape where Dualora goes next!

A lot has changed in a decade especially the rise of short-form vertical platforms alongside traditional horizontal ones. It's a genuine workflow problem for modern creators who are tired of recording things twice or losing framing while cropping in post. Dualora is built specifically for today's multi-platform ecosystem, and I'm excited to see how creators use it!
Finally, something where you don't have to go through seven circles of hell just to sign up!
Dualora
@jackdonovan Haha, thank you! We absolutely hate jumping through hoops just to try an app, so we wanted to make the entry as seamless and friction-free as possible. Great to hear that it stood out to you!
Why didn't i know Your app during recording my tutorials :( I did double job.
Dualora
@stormsister we’re just glad you found us. Better late than doing double shifts ever again!
