It goes back to High Sierra, download it here. Sure! You can download an older version of the app, that doesn't have the new Preferences screen, it's as simple as it gets, but also super vintage and a collector's item. I'm running an older version of macOS, can you hook me up? Nope, not really - but now it has a couple of customization options: you can chose one of three menu bar icons, change the size of the popover, and a couple other things. Sometimes I like to use it as a way to include my video in a screen recording, or screen share (like recording a quick GIF of your screen, or presenting something) - to do that, just detach the Popover from the menu bar and drag it around.

So that was getting annoying and I decided to build this instead. Opening Photo Booth was exactly what I was doing, but I would use Spotlight, and sometimes it would open Photos instead, or I would open Photo Booth so much that if I just typed 'Phot' in Spotlight it would default to Photo Booth and not Photos, and that's nice but not what I want - if I type 'Phot' and hit return, I would expect to open 'Photos' and not 'Photo Booth'. You know when you have to join a Zoom call but want to check your face first, or make sure nothing too embarrassing is in frame? And so you open Photo Booth or something? But that's like 5 keyboard-presses at best? Maybe a one-click thing might save you half a second or something? Why not just open Photo Booth instead? It's a macOS app that lives in the menu bar, and when you click on it you get a view from your camera.
