## What it is
A macOS application for controlling USB (UVC) camera settings like exposure, zoom, and focus without vendor software. Built in Swift with SwiftUI and installable via Homebrew.

## Use cases
- adjust webcam settings on mac without vendor software
- control usb camera exposure and focus on macos
- change uvc camera zoom pan tilt from an app
- configure external webcam defaults on mac
- replace logitech camera software on macos

## When to choose
- you use a UVC-compliant USB webcam on macOS and want to tweak its settings
- the camera vendor's software is missing, bloated, or unavailable
- you want an open-source, Homebrew-installable camera control app

## When to avoid
- you need to control Apple's built-in FaceTime camera on T1/T2 chip Macs (blocked by entitlement)
- you need vendor-specific features like Logitech LED control (not yet supported)
- you run an OS older than macOS Catalina or a non-macOS platform
