Camera Preview

Camera Preview is a handy little app that you can use before hopping into a video call. We all want to look our best, right? While many people turn to Apple’s Photo Booth for this, it has its quirks that might not work for everyone. That’s where Camera Preview comes in, giving you a better option!

Simple and Easy to Use

This app is super straightforward and designed to take the place of Photo Booth for most users. You can quickly check your camera's video feed right from the menu bar, Dock, or with a hotkey. The best part? It shows everything your camera captures without cropping out any sides, plus it lets you snap photos too!

Customize Your Setup

When you first open the app, it hangs out in the Dock by default. But if you're like me and prefer keeping things tidy, you can move it to the menu bar or hide it altogether! Just remember to set up a keyboard shortcut so you can toggle the camera window easily.

Accessing Your Camera Feed

No matter where the app is—Dock or menu bar—you just click its icon to bring up your camera feed. And if you're using that hotkey we talked about? You can easily toggle the window while it's running.

A Minimalist Design

The cool thing about Camera Preview is that it doesn’t have a window frame and can stay on top of all other apps. Its clean design means you could keep it in one corner of your screen without crowding your desktop space. Unlike Photo Booth, this app shows everything from your camera without cutting off any edges.

No More Countdown Annoyances

You’ll also love that Camera Preview lets you take pictures without that annoying countdown timer found in Photo Booth. Plus, finding those photos later is easy because they are saved in a regular folder accessible right from the app's interface.

The Perfect Solution

If you're looking for something simple yet effective for quick tasks like checking your camera before calls, Camera Preview fits the bill perfectly! It does what you need without unnecessary fuss and comes lightweight too!
