OnAir
Camera indicator for macOS
Your roommates can't see your camera dot

A real ON AIR sign for your home office.

OnAir turns your Mac into an unmissable warning the moment your camera goes live — so the people you live with see it on your screen before they walk into frame.

Visible from across the room

Bright enough that anyone glancing in from the doorway knows to stay out.

Hidden from your call

Won't leak into screen sharing or recordings while you present.

Features

Tiny utility, surprisingly useful.

OnAir is for anyone who works from home and shares that space with people who have no idea when you're on a call. Your camera dot is invisible to them. This isn't.

Hard to miss from across the room

The red border fills your screen. Anyone walking by will see it — before they become part of your meeting.

Invisible in screen sharing

The warning stays visible on your Mac, but won't show up in screen recordings or screen sharing.

Built for real meetings

Lives in your menu bar, launches on startup, and works quietly in the background when you need it.

Adjust it your way

Choose border thickness, indicator size, and whether the lamp sits on the top left or top right.

01
Runs quietly in the menu bar

Start OnAir once, then let it live in your menu bar and launch automatically when your Mac starts.

02
Detects camera activity

The moment your camera becomes active, OnAir lights up your screen with a clear warning.

03
Your housemates stay out of frame

The warning is visible on your screen, so a partner or roommate glancing in from the doorway knows to wait — before they wander into your background.

Download

Stop your housemates from crashing your calls.

OnAir gives your Mac a studio-style ON AIR light — bright enough that anyone walking by knows to stay out of frame.
