What it does
Any resolution
Switch the display to any supported resolution straight from sized preview thumbnails — including the common capture sizes you shoot for. One click to Restore Original when you're done.
Place the window
Pick any open window and snap it to a half or quarter, fill the screen, or resize it to an exact size, centered. Need it out of the shot entirely? Hide it.
Spotless desktop
Hide every desktop icon, and swap the wallpaper for a solid color or your own light/dark image. No stray files, no busy background — just the subject of your shot.
Tidy the menu bar
Hide the whole menu bar, or hide only the items you choose — the survivors reflow seamlessly so the bar still looks real. Perfect for a clean, uncluttered top edge.
Always reversible
Toggle every effect from the menu-bar item, and quit to put everything back exactly as it was — resolution, wallpaper, icons, and menu bar all restored automatically.
Native Mac
Built in SwiftUI and AppKit — no Electron, no web view. A universal binary that launches instantly and sips memory. Uses Accessibility and Screen Recording to do its work cleanly.
