CameraView
On the Mac App Store as Cam Grid for HomeKit
Every HomeKit camera in one window. CameraView turns your Mac into a live wall for your HomeKit cameras — front door, garage, garden, hallway — all visible side-by-side, edge-to-edge, no title bar in the way. Double-click any tile to open it in its own window. Streams stay local: no cloud, no account, no trackers.
Built as a Mac Catalyst app. Requires macOS 14 or later and HomeKit cameras configured in the Home app.
Coming soon to the Mac App Store — review pending.
Why CameraView?
Three core arguments
Every camera at a glance
All your HomeKit cameras side-by-side in a single configurable grid — no app switching, no scrolling.
Edge-to-edge layout
No title bar, no toolbar, no wasted pixels. Tiles fill the window so each scene gets maximum screen space.
Local and private
Streams stay between your camera and your Mac. No cloud, no account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs.

Features
What’s inside
Configurable grid
Set columns and rows. The live preview in Layout shows exactly how it will look.
Multi-select cameras
Pick any subset of your HomeKit cameras from the Home app — drop them all in at once.
Detail window
Double-click any tile to open the camera in its own window. The main tile pauses, no duplicate streams.
Always on top
Pin the window above everything else — keep an eye on the front door while you work.
Window position memory
CameraView remembers where you left it. Same position, same size, next launch.
Reload on demand
⌘R reconnects every stream — useful after a network change or when a camera comes back online.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Which cameras work?
- Any HomeKit-enabled camera that streams live video in the Home app on your Mac. CameraView reads your HomeKit camera profiles via Apple's HomeKit framework — there is no separate setup.
- Does CameraView work without internet?
- It needs whatever network access your cameras need (local network or HomeKit relay). The app itself does not contact any developer-operated server.
- Is there an iPad or iPhone version?
- Not yet. CameraView is a Mac Catalyst app for macOS 14 and later.
- Where do recordings go?
- Nowhere. CameraView is a live viewer only — it does not record video. Recordings remain managed by the Home app and the camera itself.
- Is my HomeKit data shared anywhere?
- No. HomeKit video stays between your camera and your Mac. CameraView has no analytics, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs, and no accounts.
- How do I open a camera fullscreen?
- Double-click any tile in the main grid. The camera opens in its own window; the tile in the main grid pauses automatically to avoid duplicate streams.
