Description

Optimized for macOS Sequoia

"App You Didn't Know You Needed" — App Store

Hand Mirror is a super simple app that lives in your Menu Bar (little cozy top right corner of your Mac) and gives you a one-click access camera check!

‣ Need to jump on a video call? Quick camera check.
‣ Need to quickly check your surroundings? Quick camera check.
‣ Need a view of your camera for when you're streaming or recording your screen? Quick camera check and drag the window around.
‣ Need to check your face because you're gorgeous? Quick camera check.

Want more? Good thing for Hand Mirror Plus:
It's a one-time purchase that will unlock all past, present, and future features added to the app, like:
‣ Mic Check: You already know you look good, but can people hear you? Check your microphone levels directly from Hand Mirror
‣ Reactions Playground: Custom triggers for all of the new macOS Sonoma Reactions for some fun screenshots
‣ Smart Window: Fully customizable, resizable, positioned window
‣ Window Masks: Zoom, crop, tweak border radius, make your camera view just like you like it
‣ Custom position: Want to trigger the window right below your camera, pick where the window appears
‣ Notch Trigger: If you're on a compatible device, you can click right on the camera housing area to trigger Hand Mirror
‣ Custom App Icons and Menu Bar Icons: Make the Menu Bar icon match your camera and or your taste
‣ Snaps (COMING SOON): [REDACTED]

(every time a new feature is released with Hand Mirror Plus, the price will go up, so this bundle will never be as cheap as NOW).

_____

This app does not record, collect, or send your data anywhere — for three reasons:
1. There's absolutely no need, it's just a feed of your own web camera.
2. I wouldn't do that, that's just creepy.
3. And most importantly: I don't even have the programming skills to do that. Seriously, but thanks for thinking that I did!

Get. This. App. Now.

If you EVER have to jump on a Zoom, Google Meet, or do any tuts or explainer videos, THIS IS A MUST HAVE APP. How many times have you had to jump through hoops with PhotoBooth, hoping feverishly that you can check your appearance before that meeting? It's not fun. Besides, that whole clunky process is eliminated BEAUTIFULLY with the elegant, essential app known as Hand Mirror. Hats off to the dev for making this app (which should be standard with all Macs) available. With it, you can easily check your mic level, appearance, and have a useful variety of window options. VERY handy for tutorials, video reviews, explainer vids, and meetings. Works perfectlcly with Apple Silicon on MacBook Pro!

Simple and Useful

I love Hand Mirror. At first it seemed like a silly concept for an app, but over the last year I’ve had it installed I have come to use it almost daily. I am a streamer, so it’s nice to use as a quick check on what the camera sees when arranging or moving stuff, instead of booting up the streaming software fully. One click and boom - clear vision of what the camera sees. Also for other more self-absorbed things, like checking my hair or make up, silently judging myself, etc, it’s so quick and effective. A surprisingly useful little app. Highly recommend!

How is this not standard with all Macs?

This is one of those tools that you won't know you need until you've ever been stuck in a situation where you needed it. Long story short, I am a pharmacy student that occasionally has to record a presentation as an assignment with a live recording of my face somewhere in the corner of the presentation. I've tried everything from OBS to Camtasia (great software, just either takes hella time to set up or are very pricy). This has to be easiest option to make sure you have a recording of yourself and your presentation!
