Mask / In development

A fresh face for your ideas.

Mask puts a different face on live camera footage, photos and video. It runs on Apple silicon with Core ML, Vision and Metal, so the processing stays on your Mac. Add a face filter for fun or for a subtle touch-up, compare with the original, then save a snapshot or record the result.

Interactive demo

Try on another face.

Choose a source face or a filter, then drag the handle to compare with the original.

Male Model

Source face

Photo

The face changes. The hair, the pose and the light stay the same.

These pictures are real output from the engine in Mask. The two people are fictional models that come with the app.

Features

What it does

  • Live face swap

    Choose a source face and see it on your camera picture in real time. The same swap works on a photo or a video that you drop onto the window.

  • Your mouth stays yours

    Preserve mouth movement keeps your own lips, teeth and speech. It is on by default, so talking looks natural.

  • Eight face filters

    The Fun presets are Toon Pop, Tiny Face, Elastic Grin, Big Nose and Long Face. The Beauty presets are Soft Skin, Natural Glow and Bright Eyes. Filters work with or without a swap.

  • Sharper detail

    High detail swaps each face at 512 pixels in photos and exported video. Optional enhancement restores fine detail in the swapped face.

  • Compare and capture

    Press ⌘E to compare with the original. Save a snapshot or record HEVC video. An exported video keeps its sound.

  • A face library

    The library starts with two fictional models. Add the faces of people who consent, from a photo or the camera. Your names and changes are saved.

Good to know

Private by design

  • Processing stays on your Mac

    Camera frames, photos, videos and the face library stay on your Mac. There is no account and no server.

  • Models download one time

    For face swapping, the app downloads about 660 MB of model weights and verifies each file with SHA-256. Filters work without a download.

  • Use it with consent

    Swap only the faces of people who consent, and say when a picture is synthetic.

Questions

Questions and answers

When can I get Mask?

It is in development. It will be free, like the other apps here. This page will show the download when it is ready.

Does my face leave my Mac?

No. Detection, swapping and filters run on your Mac. The app uses the network only to download its models.

Do filters need a model download?

No. Face filters use Vision and Metal and work immediately. Only face swapping needs the models.

How fast is it?

Speed depends on your Mac, the number of faces, the resolution and enhancement. In a processing benchmark on an M1 Ultra, a combined swap and filter ran at 33.8 frames per second at 720p.
