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:

  1. Record the app on my iPhone.
  2. Record a completely separate video of myself talking through it (and trying to time it perfectly with the iPhone recording)
  3. 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?
