Always on top

Floats above every window, space, and fullscreen app — so you're never hidden mid-presentation.

Circle, squircle, portrait (3:4), or landscape (4:3) — switch instantly to fit your layout.

Drag & resize

Move it anywhere, then pinch-to-zoom on the trackpad between 80 and 400 px.

Menu bar controls

Shape, size, mirror, shade, and camera selection — all one click away.
