Built for Mac

Everything your Blink cameras
need. Nothing they don't.

A true native macOS experience — fast, lightweight, and designed to feel like it shipped with your Mac.

Motion Clips

Browse every motion event with detection tags that tell you what was spotted. Filter by Person or Animal to find what matters, organized by camera and timestamp.

Smart Notifications

Know what triggered the motion — "Person Detected" or "Animal Detected" — right in the notification. Powered by Apple Vision, entirely on-device.

Download & Export

Save individual clips or batch download them all. Smart cache management keeps disk usage in check automatically, so your footage stays accessible without filling your drive.

Local Storage

Using a Sync Module 2 with USB storage? Blinkar works with local clips too — no cloud subscription required. Clips download on demand with a progress indicator.

Menu Bar Widget

See your latest motion snapshots at a glance, with detection labels on each thumbnail. A beautiful grid of recent clips lives right in your menu bar — always one click away.

Blazingly Native

Built with Swift, SwiftUI, and Apple Vision. No Electron, no web views, no cloud processing. Everything runs privately on your Mac.

Clips

Every moment, captured and cataloged.

Browse through all your motion events in a clean, chronological timeline. Each clip is tagged with what triggered it — person, animal, or motion — so you can see what matters at a glance.

  • On-device detection labels — Person, Animal, or Motion
  • Filter by camera and detection type — Person, Animal, or all
  • Batch download all clips at once
