Post Description

The front camera apps always show the mirror preview. Most of us hate photos others take of us, but love our selfies. It's because we groom ourselves and find our perfect angles using the mirror preview. So it's jarring when we see the photos of us taken by others. I always wanted a camera app that showed the non-mirror preview. Surprisingly most camera apps don't have this option. So I created this app to scratch my own itch:)

Note: Photos and videos are only stored in the browser. No data is sent to any servers. You can also install this as an app from your browser since it's a progressive web app.

Preview CoreML video models on any video feed

You can grab a CoreML model from Hugging Face and see inference applied to a live camera feed in realtime while stacking cinematic effects, firing one-shot triggers from MIDI, and streaming out via a virtual camera or RTMP. The combo of local CoreML preview + unlimited sources and CSS-overlay widgets is a clever, practical playground for both creators and researchers — the real test will be model compatibility and performance across consumer Macs.
