Instant access to your Mac's camera feed for quick checks before video calls. ■ Key Features • Instant Camera Feed: A single click shows your camera's view. • Menu Bar & Dock Access: Keep the app readily available in your menu bar or Dock. • Keyboard Shortcut: Instantly display your camera feed with a keyboard shortcut. • Customizable View: Resize and reposition the feed window to your preference. • Photo Capture: Quick and easy photo captures right from the app. • Always-On-Top Window: Prioritize your camera feed on your screen. • Hide Menu Bar Icon: For a tidier menu bar. You can also preview an external camera. ■ FAQ ‣ Can you add support for making the camera feed a circle? I don't plan to add that. I plan to make a separate app specifically for showing the camera on presentations and screencasts, which will have this feature. ‣ How is this better than Photo Booth? - Convenient access from the menu bar. - Toggle it via a keyboard shortcut. - Higher quality camera output. - Does not crop the camera output. - Minimalistic design with no window frame. - Takes photos without the countdown. - Photos are saved to the file system, not hidden inside the app. - The window can be made to always stay on top of other windows. - Can be accessed from the menu bar. - Capture and copy photo in a single action. - Save photo as lossless PNG file. - Includes camera metadata (EXIF) in the saved photo. - Made by an indie developer that listens to users. ■ Privacy Camera Preview values your privacy. There's absolutely no tracking and the app cannot even connect to the internet due to macOS-enforced restrictions (no network entitlement). ■ Support You can contact me through the feedback button in the app.
