Nookscope

Nookscope shows live video from a USB endoscope, borescope or digital microscope on your iPad or Mac. Filters can brighten dark, grainy video and reduce noise, and you can record what you see as an MP4 file. The app works with external cameras that support UVC, including USB webcams. Choose the camera and a video mode, then press Start. Video and recordings are processed and stored only on your device. Requirements • iPad with iPadOS 27 or later • Mac with macOS 27 or later • An external UVC camera connected over USB Nookscope does not use the built-in camera of your iPad or Mac and is not available for iPhone. Features • The Low Light filter raises exposure and reduces noise • The Detail filter sharpens gently without halos around edges • In the Quality profile, Low Light and Detail use your device's hardware noise reduction when it is available • Outlines, Fine Lines, False Color, Inverted and Text filters for close inspection • Preview modes: Fit, Fill, Stretch • 2× upscaling doubles the resolution on video modes that support it • MP4 recording with the current filter applied, and you can switch filters while recording • If the camera is disconnected or the app moves to the background, recording stops and the file is saved • Recordings library: play a recording, send it with Share, or delete several at once • With Auto-start, video starts as soon as the app finds the camera • Info panel: camera and processing frame rates, plus the status of noise reduction and 2× upscaling Recordings do not include audio. Usage analytics stay off unless you allow them. Crash reports can be turned off in the app's privacy settings. The False Color and Inverted filters only re-map the normal video signal. They do not produce thermal or X-ray images. Nookscope is not a medical device.
