buggy
cool app but it’s a buggy mess and the interface sucks with hidden swipe gestures and collapsing menus and infinite scroll on the mode selection.

What's New in ZPTH
3.2.0
July 9, 2026
ZPTH 3.2 adds a live camera-view toggle and a second NDI stream. CAMERA VIEW TOGGLE • A new button next to the shutter switches instantly between your depth effect and the plain RGB camera — even while you're recording. Switch back and forth as many times as you like; it's one continuous recording, one continuous cut. SECOND NDI STREAM • NDI users can now turn on a second stream, "ZPTHRGB," that broadcasts the raw camera alongside your usual "ZPTH" effect stream — mix them live on your desktop. Everything still runs entirely on your device. No account, no internet, no tracking; the microphone (Pulsar, Cymatic) and local-network (NDI) features remain opt-in and off by default.
