Simple, fast webcam preview for Linux.

Simple Camera App is built to do one thing well: show a live camera feed with as little friction as possible.

Open it, pick a camera, and see the picture. No recording workflow, no editing suite, no account, no clutter.

Use it to:

  • check framing before a call or stream
  • monitor USB or built-in cameras
  • compare multiple camera windows side by side
  • inspect the active resolution and frame rate
  • keep camera previews local on your Linux desktop

It is foremost simple: a focused camera viewer for the moments when you only need to see what the camera sees. The installed command is simple-camera-app.
