What it does

A tiny, free macOS app that floats a circular webcam bubble on your screen. No menubar, no chrome — just your face in a draggable circle, always on top. You want to record a demo or walkthrough with QuickTime (or any screen recorder) and show your face too — but you don't want to buy software. Open CamBubble, start your screen recording, done. git clone https://github.com/backnotprop/CamBubble.git cd CamBubble xcodebuild -scheme CamBubble -configuration Release build cp -r ~ /Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/CamBubble- * /Build/Products/Release/CamBubble.app /Applications/ Or open CamBubble.xcodeproj in Xcode, build (Cmd+B), then drag CamBubble.app from Products into /Applications .…from github.com
