Question 1

Is MacCam really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every feature available today stays free forever.

Question 2

What do I get with the lifetime license?

Accepted Answer

MacCam Pro for life: today the Teleprompter and Knock to Capture, and every future Pro feature. The first 100,000 users get it for free: confirm your email in the app or on this site and the Pro badge appears.

Question 3

I lost my license

Accepted Answer

Open Help, enter the email you used and we send you a new code. Enter it in MacCam and Pro is back.

Question 4

macOS says the app can't be opened

Accepted Answer

MacCam is notarized by Apple since version 1.0.5 and opens without warnings. If you still see this message, you have an older copy: download the latest version from maccam.app.

Question 5

How do updates work?

Accepted Answer

MacCam checks daily and updates itself with one click.

Question 6

Where are my photos saved?

Accepted Answer

Every photo and video is saved in your Photos library, in the Camera album. With iCloud Photos enabled, they sync to your iPhone and iPad automatically.

Question 7

What data does MacCam collect?

Accepted Answer

Your photos never leave your Mac. MacCam uses anonymous usage statistics through TelemetryDeck, which you can turn off in Settings → Privacy. We store your email only if you claim a license. With Knock to Capture on, the microphone listens for knocks while MacCam is open – nothing is stored.
