A simple, fast, and lightweight camera viewer.

Simple Camera App is a high-performance, distraction-free camera viewer for Linux. Designed for speed and simplicity, it provides an instant live feed from your integrated webcam, USB cameras, or virtual video devices.

Key Features:

  • Low-latency video preview.
  • Minimalist interface focused purely on the camera feed.
  • Lightweight footprint using native GraalVM technology.

Ideal for developers testing video hardware, creators monitoring their setup, or users who need a clean camera window.

IMPORTANT: Currently, you have to provide a camera capability to the app, like this:

sudo snap connect simple-camera-app:camera

In a future version this won't be necessary. We are working on it!
