Built for the way you watch.

▦

Live multi-camera grids

Adaptive layout fills the window. Switch to spotlight, 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 with one click. Drag tiles to rearrange — the order sticks.

⟳

PTZ from the keyboard

Pan, tilt, zoom, focus — all 17 PTZ ops from the dedicated control bar, including presets and patrols.

⚡

Rich alarm notifications

When motion fires, you get a macOS notification with a still image and the camera that triggered it. No more "what was that?"

⌘

Native, not a wrapped browser

SwiftUI + Apple's video decoders. Cold launches in under a second, costs almost nothing in battery, and feels like every other Mac app.

↻

Updates itself

Sparkle-powered auto-updates. New versions land quietly with a one-click install — and we never phone home with anything else.

Open source

Swift, MIT-licensed, on GitHub. Tweak it, fork it, file issues.
