Hovercraft Mac app brings your face back to video call presentations

Sharing your screen during a video call shouldn't mean disappearing from the frame. Hovercraft, a new Mac app from Adam Lisagor, acts as a virtual camera that works with any video calling software. Created by Sandwich Vision — the same studio behind the Vision Pro app Theater — it solves a nagging problem: most apps replace your face with whatever you're presenting, losing the personal connection that keeps people engaged.

The app streams your camera feed alongside a floating window of whatever you're sharing. Pinch and drag to reposition the window, use arrow keys to flip through a PDF deck, or annotate directly on the floating content. You stay in focus while your audience sees your screen — a small but meaningful shift in how remote presentations feel during everyday video calls.

Hovercraft is free to try, with a single-Mac license running $19. Since launch, the team added annotation, typing over floating windows, and seamless switching between your video feed and the shared window. The gesture-based controls feel intuitive, almost like moving windows in visionOS. For anyone who regularly shares screens on calls, this tiny utility solves a problem most people didn't realize they had.
