About:
Yellow Dot is a lightweight macOS utility that replaces the default system camera and microphone indicator dots with less conspicuous yellow dots. This tool helps users maintain screen privacy during recordings or streams while still providing a visual cue for active media capture.
Key Features:
  • Replaces standard green camera/mic indicators with yellow dots
  • System-level integration for consistent visibility
  • Minimal resource footprint
  • No configuration required
Use Cases:
  • Content creators who need to hide privacy indicators during recordings
  • Users who find the default indicators too distracting
  • Privacy-conscious users wanting subtle media monitoring
Alternatives:
  • OBS Studio – OBS can hide indicators via cropping, but Yellow Dot provides system-wide modification
  • Camera Indicator Hider – Similar functionality but Yellow Dot offers better macOS integration
