✓ Camera ready

CamLoop lives in your menu bar. Record a few seconds of yourself, pick CamLoop as your camera once, and a single hotkey swaps your live feed for the loop and back. A glance at the icon tells you live or looping.

Record in seconds, with a ghost frame to line up

One hotkey to step away, one to come back live

Features<br>Quick to step away. Convincing enough that no one wonders.

Two things matter when you step away mid-meeting: doing it fast, and doing it so it reads as you, not a frozen app.

Instant<br>Disappear in a single keystroke.

One global hotkey flips between your live camera and a looped clip, with no menus and no fumbling, even with CamLoop in the background. A second tap brings you right back.

The believable cover<br>A loop that looks like a bad connection, not a glitch.

“Simulated lag” plays your clip with gentle freezes, micro-stutters, and a catch-up jump, generated live so it never repeats. It scales to the clip length, and you choose exactly which artifacts to use. It reads like a normal rough connection, not a frozen app.

Freeze · stutter · catch-up · mix and match

Never loops the same way twice

Tunes itself to your clip’s length

Effortless<br>Record a believable you in seconds.

Hit record, sit naturally for a few seconds, and stop. CamLoop captures a clean clip and a ghost of the first frame helps you line up so the loop starts without a jump.

Recording waits for a clean image, so it never starts dark

Private by design<br>Your clips stay on your Mac. Your audio stays live.

CamLoop never uploads your video and never records or routes audio. Clips live in a local folder on your machine; the camera loops while you keep talking. Optional, anonymous diagnostics can be turned off in one click.

Video stored locally, never uploaded

Audio passes straight through, untouched

Seamless ping-pong loops

Plays forward then reverse, so the loop never has a visible seam, for any pose.

AI morph & alignment

On-device frame morphing and a pose-alignment studio for a flawless, invisible cut.

Know you’re covered

A glance at the menu-bar icon tells you live vs. looping, and a toast confirms every switch.

Seamless go-live

When you return, CamLoop watches the camera and switches the instant the image is clean and exposed, so viewers never catch a dark frame.

Import & export

Bring in an existing video, or export a clip to reuse it across machines.

Pin your favorites

Keep a go-to clip at the top of the list so it’s one tap away in any meeting.
