01 · How it works
01

Pick your frame

Choose the source camera, then crop, zoom, and drag in a live preview. Scroll or pinch to zoom; the frame follows your fingers.

02

Narcissus publishes a camera

A system camera extension presents "Narcissus Camera" to macOS and does the cropping itself — your apps just see a camera.

03

Every app sees it

Select Narcissus Camera in Zoom, Teams, or QuickTime and your framing follows you everywhere. It even keeps working with the app quit.

02 · Features

Any video app

Narcissus Camera appears alongside your real hardware in every app that lists cameras. No plugins to install per app.

Framing you can feel

A live preview with real controls — crop, zoom, reposition. Scroll to zoom, drag to frame, done.

Runs without the app

The extension serves frames on its own. Quit the menu-bar app; your framing stays exactly where you left it.

No filters, ever

Your actual image, just framed the way you want. Nothing is smoothed, tinted, or beautified.

Lives in the menu bar

A quiet menu-bar app for settings and the crop editor. No windows in your way, no Dock clutter.

Keeps itself current

Checks for updates about once a day, and updates install in place — the camera extension included.

04 · FAQ
Is this a filter or effects app?

No. Narcissus never touches your image beyond the frame — no filters, no smoothing, no gimmicks. It's your camera's real picture, cropped and positioned the way you want.

Which apps does it work with?

Anything that lists cameras. Narcissus shows up as a regular camera called "Narcissus Camera" — select it in Zoom, Teams, QuickTime, Photo Booth, or any other video app.

Does the app have to stay running?

No. The camera extension does the work itself, so your framing keeps flowing even when the menu-bar app is quit.

What permissions does it need?

macOS asks once to allow the camera extension in System Settings, and for camera access. That is all.

When can I get it?
