In plain words
Vu is a Mac status bar app that provides basic Instagram functionality on the desktop. It allows users to view their feed, manage multiple accounts, and upload photos directly to Instagram, including selfies taken from a Mac's built-in camera. The app is designed as a lightweight alternative to using Instagram through a web browser on Mac.

From the sources
I made this little status bar app to have basic Instagram experience on my Mac. I know there was a couple of very similar apps presented before but I made it more robust and polished. vu supports multiple accounts and can upload photos directly from built-in camera. Yes, now you can take selfie on your Mac and post it to Instagram instantly. 👌🏻
vu delivers mobile Instagram website to your desktop.
