Mirror - Cam
A tiny menu-bar app that gives you a live webcam preview whenever you need one — before joining a video call, during a recording, or any time you want to glance at how you look.
One click on the menu-bar icon opens the mirror as a popover. Click again to dismiss. There’s no Dock icon, no main window, no clutter — just a webcam preview that’s always ready.
Features
- Live preview from any connected camera — built-in, USB, or iPhone Continuity Camera
- Custom window shapes — default, square, or circle
- Mirror horizontally for a natural reflection
- Adjustable zoom and rotation
- Center Stage support on Apple silicon
- Global hotkey to toggle the mirror from anywhere
Mirror - Cam Plus
A one-time Lifetime purchase (or a Monthly subscription with a 14-day free trial) unlocks every premium feature:
- Snaps — capture a polished polaroid of the moment, annotate with a marker, and save as PNG. Auto-trigger when you flash a V-sign at the camera.
- Smart Window — keep the mirror visible across spaces, full-screen apps, and Mission Control
- Detach — tear the popover off into a free-floating window you can park anywhere
- Window Mask — pick from rectangular, square, or circular masks with adjustable zoom and rotation
- Notch Trigger — click the dead pixels behind the camera notch to summon the mirror on built-in M-series Macs
- Mic Check — see your microphone input levels live on the preview
- Reactions — trigger the native macOS Reactions (balloons, fireworks, hearts, lasers) from a quick-pick bar
- Alternative menu-bar icons — pick from a curated set of glyphs to match your menu bar
