Create stunning app demo videos with 3D device frames, iOS/iPad USB recording, cinematic cursor effects, and auto zoom. One-time purchase, no subscription. Built for developers.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Vu — web dev for 10+ years, went indie early last year. My first app Chronoid taught me that self-doubt before launch is just part of the process.
Smooth Capture started as a learning project after falling in love with polished screen recording tools. I wanted to understand how video rendering pipelines actually work. Somewhere along the way it became the tool I reach for every day.
What makes it different:
- Truly native — Swift + Metal. ~50MB total, your fans won't spin up
- 3D device frames — connect your iPhone/iPad or record from Simulator, get gorgeous perspective renders with keyframe control
- Multi-clip recording — add intros, outros, retake specific sections
- Record → Edit → Export in under 5 minutes — focused editor, no bloat
- Fun stuff — magnifying glass, lens distortion, dynamic clouds, smooth cursor animations
What's coming in 2026:
- Q1: Annotation tools, text slides, voice-over recording
- Q2: AI editing — filler word removal, edit-by-transcript, audio enhancement
- Q3: Enter/exit animations, transitions, blur camera backgrounds
- Q4: Freeze frame, multiple mask layers, advanced compositing
Would love your feedback 🙏
