Clone the repo:\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/shabeem/oView.git\n   cd oView\n   ```\n\n2. Open in Xcode:\n   ```bash\n   open OView.xcodeproj\n   ```\n\n3. Press **⌘R** to build and run.\n\n### Download\n\nDownload the latest `.zip` from [Releases](https://github.com/shabeem/oView/releases).\n\n**First time setup:**\n1. Unzip the download\n2. **Double-click `install.command`** — it will remove macOS quarantine, copy to Applications, and launch OView\n3. Grant Screen Recording permission when prompted, then quit and reopen OView\n\n**Or manually via Terminal:**\n```bash\nxattr -cr OView.app\ntccutil reset ScreenCapture com.oview.app\nopen OView.app\n```\n\n\u003e **Note:** macOS blocks unsigned apps by default. The install script handles this automatically.\n\n## Usage\n\n1. Launch OView → a circle icon appears in the menu bar\n2. Click the icon → **\"Capture Current Window\"**\n3. Select the window you want to capture (e.g., Telegram)\n4. A floating overlay appears with live video from that window\n5. Continue working — the overlay stays on top\n\n### Controls\n\n| Action | What it does |\n|--------|-------------|\n| Drag | Move the overlay |\n| Scroll | Zoom video in/out |\n| Cmd + Drag | Pan video inside the overlay |\n| Right-click | Context menu (shape, reset, stop) |\n| Option + Scroll | Resize the overlay |\n| Pinch (trackpad) | Zoom video |\n\n## How It Works\n\nOView uses Apple's **ScreenCaptureKit** to capture a specific window (not a screen region). This means the captured content stays visible even when the source window is hidden behind other apps. The overlay is rendered as a borderless `NSWindow` at a level above the status bar.\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fshabeem%2Foview","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fshabeem%2Foview","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fshabeem%2Foview/lists"}
