Field notes
The release page identifies v0.3.0 as requiring Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later, and says it supports the first-generation IMX378 C1. Controls include exposure, focus, white balance, and resolution, alongside depth and blur settings. The virtual-camera extension requires explicit approval in macOS System Settings before other apps can select “Opal Cut Camera.” The project says it is forked from open-opal, is MIT-licensed, and is not affiliated with Opal Camera Inc.
