I m building ProMatte, a free, GPL-licensed OBS filter for removing, blurring, or replacing webcam backgrounds locally.
I started it because existing options can require an RTX GPU, a subscription, a green screen, or cloud processing. ProMatte runs on the user s own machine with no account, telemetry, or uploaded camera frames.
I m especially interested in hearing from OBS users:
What do you currently use for background removal?
Is performance, edge quality, hardware support, or setup the biggest issue?
Do you prefer transparent backgrounds, blur, or replacement backgrounds?
