So this is something I made to scratch a serious itch I had. I work remote and spend a lot of time on Zoom. Most of that time is in my office with amazing lighting, a good webcam, and a studio mic. But sometimes, on some of my more casual calls, I like to kick back on my sofa in the living room.
The back and forth had always resulted in having the re-calibrate mic gain levels and brightness settings and everything for my next call which was a major PITA. So I made a neat little system tray app that allowed me to quickly switch between presets that tweaked both my video and audio inputs to be exactly how I liked them wherever I was.

Tried this on a quick test call and the color grading looked way better than the default Mac webcam without me touching a single setting. Voice cleanup held up nicely even with my mechanical keyboard in the background.

@leventa3724 thanks for the kind words! I probably could have mentioned I’ve also got a mechanical keyboard which was another reason to build something better suited to my environment than the other options I’d been using.
Btw I’ve got an Ergodox DX with cherry reds. I love it. What are you running?

the way it routes processed video and audio back into Zoom as virtual devices is genuinely clever, no extra setup hoops. love that it's mac native and just works without making me fight with drivers.

@aleyna798159 thanks for that! If you’ve got suggestions for other features I’m happy to consider them. I’ve been using this myself (obviously) and loving the balance of simplicity and configurability. I used to have 3 different apps + the system settings to achieve the same thing.
