SimCam

What it does

SimCam lets you test camera features without a physical device - stream from your Mac's built-in or external camera, inject an image, or generate a QR code. Includes a CLI letting agents control the camera on iOS simulator.

Stream your Mac

SimCam lets you test camera features without a physical device - stream from your Mac's camera, inject an image, or generate a QR code. Registers as a system-level virtual camera – your app sees it through standard AVFoundation APIs. No more holding your phone up to screen – SimCam lets you generate QR codes programmatically and inject them straight into the camera stream. Building a credit card scanner, barcode reader, or image recognition feature? Feed SimCam a consistent image or video sample so your app always sees exactly what you need. An agent can switch camera sources, generate QR codes and check camera diagnostics. SimCam can run headlessly from the CLI, so automated systems can…from simcam.swmansion.com

  Clearcam – Add AI object detection to your IP CCTV cameras2025 · github.com · ▲233

  This runs YOLOv8 + bytetrack with Tinygrad detections (depending on user config) are saved and can be sent to the companion iOS app along with a notification, all video processing is done locally, all footage is encrypted before leaving your computer, and the sending notifications + videos part is optional. This uses tinygrad, so it runs well on my apple silicon macs and should be able to run on a lot of hardware (or will be able to when I remove other deps).

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
