MirrorMate turns your Mac's camera into an instant mirror — accessible from the menubar or via ⌘⇧M at any moment. Zero switching, zero friction. The mirror appears in under 50ms and disappears just as fast.
Built for anyone who wants a quick mirror before a Zoom call, presentation, or just to check themselves — without picking up their phone.
