I made Blinkar: a native macOS menubar app for Blink home security cameras.

Blink doesn't have a desktop client, so I built one: pure Swift, lives in your menu bar, polls for new clips in the background, and sends macOS notifications on motion.

✦ Quick-look popover for recent clips
✦ Full clip browser with per-camera filtering
✦ Arm/disarm networks, snooze notifications
✦ Bulk download
✦ 2FA support, Keychain-stored credentials

Blinkar — Your Blink Cameras, Native on Mac

Blinkar is a beautiful native macOS app for your Blink security cameras. Browse clips, manage cameras, and get smart motion alerts that identify people and animals — all from your menu bar.

Amazon's dropping some 'Prime Day' deals early: a pair of Blink Mini 2 cameras for $35. Great for 1080p, color night vision, and confusing your pets with two-way audio. Just budget for that *extra* subscription for person detection. What's the sneakiest 'hidden cost' you've seen in smart home tech?

A few weeks ago we mounted a camera in one of our vineyards to have a look at the wildlife. Good news: We have a diverse Landscape here in Burgenland offering lots of refuge and habitat to local wildlife. #blinkcamera #wildlife #nature #winegrowing
