Read full description

Introducing our innovative camera application for iOS and macOSβ€”a versatile tool compatible with FaceTime and any external camera (USB or otherwise). This app allows you to express your spirit by applying vibrant colors or flags to faces, simulating creative face painting. Show your support and allegiance in a fun, dynamic way! The app features automatic face detection, giving you the flexibility to apply colors to specific areas such as the entire face, lips, eyebrows, hair, and more. It even recognizes glasses, enabling you to customize individual facial features with distinct colors. For optimal results: - Position the camera approximately an arm’s length away. - Select the desired facial feature before applying colors or flags. - Adjust your positioning as needed. - You also have the option to upload any custom image and overlay it onto the face. Once you’ve perfected your creation, easily capture and save the photo, then share it with friends through your favorite social or messaging platforms. Please note: Video recording is available as part of a subscription service. The app is currently available for macOS, with an iOS update coming soon. A single purchase grants access across both platformsβ€”buy once, use on iPhone and Mac. Your privacy is our priority. All processing occurs directly on your device. We do not capture, store, or collect any personal data, including facial information. Rest assured, your experience remains entirely private and secure.
