Didn't I read a feature request for something like this only a few days ago somewhere?
Nice reaction time, Good work!
Works pretty good already. Can't be used at the same time as camera app (expected behaviour), but does not break anything – after exiting Looking glass, the camera app resumed showing something. Didn't test while recording a video or such shenanigans.
The picture actually refocussed twice while testing but I've got no idea if I did it or how I did it. If possible, refocussing would be really everything I can think of to make this great. Perhaps on tap and/or every x seconds?
I also like the 'non gui'. The icon looks a bit jagged though. If you'd like, I'll draw a new one for you in all relevant resolutions… PM me if interested.
Edit:
I could not sleep so I drew something anyway and made a Pull request. Feel free to use or disregard

Does what it says on the tin!
Would like to see an option for manual zoom and possibly the addition of a torch too? Those would be handy features for reading serial numbers in dark cabinets (my personal user scenario).
Thanks

Nice app! But the name's a bit funny, "looking glass" meaning "mirror"?

More like :
but I could not find a nice icon for it, so I just used a "normal" magnifying glass
. Suggestions appreciated (via pull requests)!

I think you've muddled up with spy glass, there.
A looking glass is a mirror (as in "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There").
