Pocket+

Your DJI Pocket,
run from your Mac.

Pocket+ turns your DJI Osmo Pocket 2, 3, 4 or 4P into a desk camera you fully control: record straight to your Mac, aim the gimbal by dragging the picture, follow your face and grade with LUTs.

Get Pro on Gumroad

Each seat activates Pro on one Mac. Need more Macs? Pick more seats at checkout.
Pro also helps fund Apple notarization, so the app can open without a warning.

Up and running in two minutes.

Pocket+ is made by one person and isn't notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to confirm it once. Pro sales go toward an Apple developer membership, which removes this step for everyone.

  1. Download

    Get PocketPlus.dmg and open it. After that, the app updates itself.

  2. Install

    Drag Pocket+ into Applications.

  3. Allow it once

    Open the app, then go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.

  4. Connect

    Plug in the Pocket 3 with USB-C, choose Webcam on the camera, and allow Camera, Microphone and Bluetooth.

Keep your hands on the keyboard.

Good to know.

Which cameras does it work with?

Pocket+ is built and tested with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, connected over USB-C in Webcam mode. You need macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel.

Face tracking turns itself off.

The camera's own ActiveTrack is on. Turn it off on the camera and tracking in the app will stay on.

Where do my recordings go?

Into your Movies folder. You can pick another folder in Settings › Output folder.

“Open Anyway” isn't there.

Try opening the app once more, then check System Settings › Privacy & Security again. The button appears right after macOS blocks the app.

Is there a faster way, with Terminal?

Yes. After moving the app to Applications, run this once and Pocket+ opens without the warning:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Pocket+.app"
Why isn't the app notarized?

Notarization needs a paid Apple developer membership, and Pocket+ is a one-person project. The app is signed, makes no network calls except update checks and license checks, and the membership is the first thing Pro sales will pay for.

How do I activate Pro?

Buy Pro on Gumroad and you'll get a license key by email. Paste it into Settings › Pro. Each seat activates Pro on one Mac, so for more Macs pick more seats at checkout: the same key then works on all of them.
