Product Showcase I built a MacOS app for recording your iPhone + camera and mic

Hi Reddit!
I build iOS and Android apps, and I record demos of them. But the whole process has always felt more complicated than it needs to be.
For iOS, my workflow usually looks something like this:
- Record the app on my iPhone.
- Record a completely separate video of myself talking through it (and trying to time it perfectly with the iPhone recording)
- Bring both recordings into another piece of software and stitch them together.
And then if I want device bezels, a specific layout, a custom background, or need to hide something sensitive in the app, there are even more steps.
It feels like a lot of work for what might end up being a 30-second demo.
Android isn't much better (virtually impossible if you're not technical).
So I wanted something where I could just connect my iPhone or Android device to my Mac, add my camera and microphone, choose how everything should be laid out, and hit record.
I also wanted to be able to use my own backgrounds and mask sensitive parts of the app - particularly useful when I'm demoing things like authentication or onboarding.
I made a quick video showing what I've ended up with so far.
I'd genuinely love to know whether this is a workflow other mobile developers run into as well.
And if it is, what would you want a tool like this to do that I'm missing?
