About Glimp - Quick Camera
Glimp — Instant Floating Camera Overlay
Check your camera instantly on any webpage with a single shortcut—no tab switching, no app loading, zero friction.
Glimp gives you a light, floating camera preview right over your active browser tab. Hold a keyboard shortcut, check your lighting or hair, capture a photo or quick clip, and let go to make it vanish.
⚡ Key Features
Instant Overlay: Hold Ctrl+Shift+L (Cmd+Shift+L on Mac) anywhere on the web to open a smooth, floating camera preview. Release to dismiss.
One-Key Photo Snap: Press Enter while holding the shortcut to snap a photo—saved directly to your Downloads folder.
Pin & Customize: Press P to pin the preview window. Drag it anywhere on your screen or resize it from the corner.
Video & Audio Recording: Press R to start/stop video recording with an active timer and red indicator light.
Mid-Recording Controls: Press M to toggle your mic or Space to pause and resume recording on the fly.
💡 Why Glimp?
Most camera checks force you to open a new tab, wait for a web app to load, and re-grant camera permissions constantly. Glimp requests camera access once during setup. After that, your shortcut works instantly across every site you visit without additional prompts.
🔒 Privacy First
Zero Tracking: No analytics, no external servers, and no user data collection.
Active-Only Hardware: Your camera and microphone are turned off the moment the preview closes.
Local Files: All photos and videos stay strictly on your local machine.
📁 View Privacy Policy
Perfect for: Remote professionals preparing for meetings, students entering online classes, streamers, and content creators.
