QuickGlancer

One click. Instant preview. Zero compromise on privacy. QuickGlancer is a lightweight menu bar utility that gives you instant access to your webcam preview. Perfect for checking your appearance before video calls, meetings, or recordings — without launching Photo Booth or waiting for heavy camera apps to load. - Instant Preview Your camera feed appears in under 100ms. Click the menu bar icon, check your look, and you're ready. No app switching, no waiting. - Privacy by Design QuickGlancer cannot connect to the internet. This isn't a promise — it's enforced by macOS. The app has no network entitlement, meaning your camera feed physically cannot leave your Mac. No analytics, no telemetry, no cloud sync. Your privacy is guaranteed by the operating system itself. - Always One Click Away Lives quietly in your menu bar. Left-click to toggle the preview, right-click for options. No Dock icon clutter, no windows to manage. - Multiple Camera Support Works with your built-in FaceTime camera, USB webcams (Logitech, Razer, Elgato, and more), and iPhone Continuity Camera on macOS Sonoma and later. Switch between cameras instantly from the menu. - Mirror Toggle Flip your preview horizontally with one tap. See yourself the way others see you, or the way you see yourself in a mirror — your choice. - Adjustable Size Choose Small, Medium, or Large preview window to fit your workflow. Settings are remembered between sessions. - Hot-Plug Support Connect or disconnect cameras while the app is running. QuickGlancer automatically detects changes and updates your camera list. - Launch at Login Start QuickGlancer automatically when you log in, so it's always ready when you need it. - Native macOS Design Built with SwiftUI and AppKit, QuickGlancer follows Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. Supports Dark Mode and Light Mode automatically. Perfect for: • Remote workers with frequent video calls • Content creators preparing to record • Anyone who wants a quick appearance check • Privacy-conscious users who don't trust camera apps with network access Minimal Resources QuickGlancer uses less than 15MB of memory when idle and under 80MB when showing your camera. The preview stops when you close it, so your camera isn't running in the background. Requirements: • macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later • Any webcam (built-in, USB, or iPhone via Continuity Camera) • Camera permission (requested on first launch) --- QuickGlancer was built for people who value simplicity and privacy. No accounts to create, no subscriptions, no ads, no tracking. Just a camera preview when you need it.
