Free for up to 4 cameras  ·  Pro unlocks more

Your camera app shouldn't feel like a chore.

You set up your cameras once. They work. Now you just want to check in on them — quickly, from your phone, without logging into a cloud account or waiting for a cold-start spinner. Every existing app makes this harder than it needs to be.

Cold-start delays

Brand apps take 10–15 seconds to load before you see anything. Just Glance shows your cameras the moment you open it.

Forced cloud accounts

Your cameras are on your network. There's no reason your footage should route through someone else's server. Just Glance never touches the cloud.

Brand-locked apps

Hikvision, Reolink, Eufy — each wants their own app. Just Glance works with any ONVIF, RTSP, or MJPEG camera, regardless of brand.

Free tier

Everything you need, free.

The free tier isn't a demo. It's a genuinely useful app for most people with a handful of cameras at home.

Camera grid

Up to 4 cameras in a clean, warm grid. Tap any cell to go fullscreen. Swipe between cameras. Reorder by dragging.

Home screen widget

A single-camera widget in small, medium, and large sizes. Tap to refresh. Tap to open the camera fullscreen.

Auto-discovery

Just Glance scans your network for ONVIF cameras automatically. Most cameras appear without typing a single URL.

Face ID lock

Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. Free, always. We'd never put a security feature behind a paywall.

Motion indicator

"Motion 4 min ago" — a quiet note on each camera cell. No alarms, no red banners. Just a calm heads-up.

ONVIF, RTSP, MJPEG

Works with Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, Axis, and most other brands. If it speaks ONVIF or RTSP, Just Glance can show it.

Home screen widget

Your cameras on your home screen.

The widget isn't an afterthought. It's one of the main reasons to use Just Glance. Glance at your front door without opening the app. Tap to refresh. Tap to go fullscreen.

Pro unlocks multi-camera widgets — two cameras in medium size, four in large.

Privacy

Your cameras stay on your network. Always.

Just Glance has no backend that receives camera images. No cloud relay. No account required. Your camera streams are decoded on your device and never leave it.

Credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain — the same secure storage your banking app uses. They're never written to a database, never included in a backup that leaves your device.

The only thing that ever leaves your phone is a push notification wake signal for Pro users — and that carries zero camera data.

Setup

Finds your cameras for you.

Just Glance scans your local network and surfaces cameras as they're discovered — no IP addresses to type, no port numbers to guess. Most cameras appear automatically.

For cameras that don't auto-discover, the manual add flow is guided and plain-language throughout. "Camera address" not "RTSP endpoint".

Works with the cameras you already have.

If your camera supports ONVIF, RTSP, or MJPEG — and most do — Just Glance can connect to it. No firmware updates, no special configuration.
