An app to make demo vids

Of course I have a demo vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_fq0TzlsXI

This will be my last post to HN about this. I always like to try a few titles to see if any hit.

Can this record just native apps (i.e. non websites)?

Unfortunately not

iOS guardrails make that pretty much impossible

I had to accepts some tradeoffs to get this specific collection of features, Face Cam, touches, etc…

I’ve heard Android might allow more, and I’ll be looking into an Android port soon.

Looks like it is possible if you do a normal iOS screen recording, then use your app to add the Face Cam and touches on top.

Yes, it’s possible to do composite edits after a screen recording

The tradeoffs here were aimed at doing it all live in a single take
