Why Floatcam? --- There are a lot of screen recorders out there, but most of them do not have a built-in camera. For those with a camera, it's either not floating, can't be moved around, is not customizable, or requires paying for a premium version.

A Brief History of Floatcam --- The default screen recorder on macOS (Quicktime) does have a way to record the screen and the camera. However, it is not customizable and can sometimes get in the way of the recording. On Linux, I used Kazam, a great screen recorder, but it does not have a built-in camera. One thing all these screen recorders have in common is that they are not customizable.

Loom, a popular screen recorder lets you do some of these things but it's not free. It features a floating camera, a screen recorder, and a video editor. It's a great tool, but you have a recording limit of 5 minutes for the free version.

Since there are lots of excellent FREE screen recorders out there and all I wanted was a floating camera, I decided to make my own. I thought it would be nice to have a simple camera app that you can use alongside any screen recorder.

I hope you enjoy using Floatcam as much as I enjoyed making it. If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback, feel free to contact me on Twitter.
