Say goodbye to dark, grainy webcams and unflattering shadows. RingDisk creates a beautiful, customizable glowing border around your screen that illuminates your face with a perfect studio glow. Whether you are on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Skype, or recording self-tapes, RingDisk ensures you always look professional and well-lit. Designed specifically for macOS, RingDisk is lightweight, highly customizable, and extremely easy to use.

@kzai Congrats. Just a quick que: when you adjust temperature and thickness, does the app use a GPU shader for smooth rendering at 60 fps, or is it CPU-based bitmap that could impact battery power on long calls?

@swati_paliwal WoW, I've not expected getting technical questions here, cool! The ring is rendered with SwiftUI's native Shape + .blur() pipeline — the path geometry is computed on CPU (it's a simple vector shape, so that's basically nothing), but the blur compositing and alpha blending go through macOS's Metal-backed Core Animation compositor. So in practice it's GPU-accelerated, just like any transparent window on macOS.
The bigger win for battery: the overlay is completely static between state changes.

I like this idea, what are your lighting recomendations for different light levels/types in your meetings? Do you have a personal favourite?
RingDisk
@emma_blunt_ Personally I like the the white color and the wharmest temperature , but you actually even choose different colors, I've not decided yet wether to allow user to change temperature when the color is not white, probably it will cause confusions
I like this idea (especially because I take a lot of calls at night, in the dark lol). I'd love for the light ring to create "breaks" where the cursor is hovering, for example if I need to switch or open new tabs in Chrome as I'm using it.
RingDisk
@ferdi_sigona Very good point, for that case you can choose "Inset" that will allow you to move Disk, so it won't cover/break your working tabs

What's new
🎬 Smart Presets - one tap for the moment: Night call, Daylight, Recording, Interview, Webinar, Dark room. Each sets brightness, warmth and thickness for you.
🌅 Auto Light - color temperature follows the time of day: warm in the evening, crisp by daylight. No slider to babysit.
🖱️ Focus mode - the light gently fades around your cursor, so it never covers the button you're about to click.
🎨 More for free - brightness, the full color palette + a custom color, and per-edge selection are now free, with two starter presets included.
🪶 Still native & tiny - SwiftUI + AppKit, completely click-through over any app, spans all your displays, and lives in the menu bar. No Electron, no background hog.
It stays free to use, with an optional one-time Pro upgrade for the full preset library, Auto Light, animations and the fine controls.
We'd genuinely love your feedback before it ships: which preset would you live in - Night call or Recording? And what scene are we missing?
Thanks for the support 🙏

I've got a request from custom to decrease Mac Os version to 13.0 , of course I will do it! Even more, I've decreased it to mac os 12.0 ! Also It will include some crash fixes connected with Camera usage that we've introduced earlier
Update will be right after animations update (we still waiting Apple to review it)
P.S. Thank you, Diego , I appreciate your feedback very much.

I've decided to make "Rainbow Wave" animation free for all users! It will be available in next update (premium users can already use it). Here is how it looks like (bottom corner of the screen has been cutted)
