The floating camera.
Refined to pure signal.
Transform your smartphone into an uncompressed, frameless floating desktop webcam. Zero latency relays. Zero telemetry. 100% private over your local Wi-Fi.
Designed for creators,
built for performance.
Traditional phone webcam tools force cloud relays, driver installations, subscriptions, and battery-draining apps. FloatCam takes a fundamentally simpler approach.
Pure Local Wi-Fi WebRTC
Your video stream never touches the public internet. Signaling happens over local WebSockets, and media streams directly between your phone and computer over LAN peer-to-peer connection with hardware H.264 acceleration.
Session-Token Isolation
FloatCam generates an ephemeral 8-character cryptographic token per session. Other devices on the same Wi-Fi cannot hijack or listen to your stream.
Zero Mobile Apps Needed
Open your default camera app, scan the dashboard QR code, and tap Start. Works natively in iOS Safari and Android Chrome via standard HTML5 MediaDevices.
Dynamic Port Selection
Never worry about "Port 9211 in use". FloatCam automatically probes and secures an unoccupied port between 9211 and 9299 on your computer.
Integrated Camera Fallback
Phone battery running low? Switch instantly to your built-in Mac FaceTime or Windows integrated webcam with one click in the tray menu.
10 Precision Shapes.
Zero Edge Bleed.
Choose between circular portraits, modern iOS squircles, or geometric polygons. Every mask is cleanly rendered without ugly gradient halos or blurry shadow leaks.
Up and running
in under thirty seconds.
No cable tangles, no companion mobile app store logins, no cloud registrations.
Launch on Desktop
Run FloatCam on macOS or Windows. It lives quietly in your menu bar or system tray without cluttering your dock.
Scan QR Code
Point your smartphone's stock camera at the QR code displayed in the FloatCam dashboard. Opens the encrypted web client.
Floating Preview
Tap "Start Camera" on your phone. High-definition video streams to your desktop floating window instantly.
Transparent by design.
