About

Viewfinder aims to provide a more native-feeling alternative to, let's face it, the mediocre apps provided by your webcam's manufacturer. Viewfinder lives in your menu bar, and looks and feels just like other system menu bar items, so you'll feel right at home.

Viewfinder is written in SwiftUI, a declarative framework for building user interfaces for macOS.

📝 Note: Viewfinder is currently beta software, so it's possible that you'll run into issues. Many of these issues should begin to disappear once the codebase matures.

Download

You can download a pre-built Apple notarized universal binary of the latest version of Viewfinder from the latest GitHub release. Viewfinder supports macOS 12.0 and later. Click the button below to jump to it, then download the .dmg file:

GitHub release (latest SemVer)

A full list of releases is available here.

Viewfinder will automatically check for updates and let you know if a new one is available. You'll be prompted to enable automatic update checks when you first launch the app.

Building from Source

To open and build the project in Xcode on your local machine, you'll need to pull the source code. Find yourself a working directory, and clone this repo to it. I recommend using GitHub Desktop.

Alternatively, pull it using the git CLI:

git clone https://github.com/lfroms/viewfinder.git

Then, navigate into the cloned repository:

cd viewfinder

You can then open the Xcode project (named Viewfinder.xcodeproj) in Xcode.

Contributing

Viewfinder is open to contributions from the open source community. If you found a bug, feel free to open an issue and pull request if you know the fix! Thought of an improvement? Open a discussion, and once aligned, open a pull request with your changes.
