Record the phone screen
Capture mobile screen activity on the computer. Android can mirror by USB or wireless ADB, while iPhone USB capture uses guided QuickTime automation and a Lens Witness source picker.
Latest Features
Capture mobile evidence in one organized desktop workspace.
Lens Witness now supports phone camera live view, Android screen mirroring, iPhone USB capture through QuickTime automation, device gallery imports, MP4 recording, audio capture, and a thumbnail capture library.
Record the phone camera
Use iPhone or Android as a live camera source over local Wi-Fi or a trusted Cell/Data link. Take snapshots, record MP4 video with audio, and keep captures visible in a left-side thumbnail library.
Connection choices
Start each project by choosing Local Wi-Fi, Cell/Data, or iPhone USB. The active connection can be changed from the Lens Witness menu.
Case setup
Lens Witness Forensics opens with case number, save path, investigator, agency, and agency logo fields, plus saved defaults and previous case access.
Phone gallery import
Browse Android media from the desktop, select multiple files, import selected files, and view them in list or gallery mode. iPhone users can import from the browser photo library.
Report and hashes
Create reports with capture thumbnails, dates, times, device connection details, and SHA-256 hashes for imported media, snapshots, and recordings.
Clean previews
QuickTime setup masks the Mac camera preview with Lens Witness branding until the selected iPhone source is attached.
In-app review
Open captures in the right pane, move through files with previous and next controls, and reveal saved media in Finder when needed.
Workflow
From connection choice to captured media.
The public workflow stays simple for recording and importing. The forensics workflow adds case metadata, device connection logs, SHA-256 hashing, and report output for evidentiary use.
Choose the save location and connection type before the phone source starts.
Use Local Wi-Fi, Cell/Data, Android USB or wireless mirror, or iPhone USB with QuickTime setup.
Capture MP4 video with audio or take still images from the active live view.
