Limelight
Record course videos students can actually follow
Course completion drops the moment a learner cannot follow your cursor or see the shortcut you just used. Limelight records every module with a spotlight, on-screen keystrokes, and drawing baked into the video.
For a paid course, clarity is completion — and completion is reviews and refunds avoided. Yet most screen recordings hide the two things learners need most: where you are pointing, and which keys produced a result.
Limelight surfaces both. A glowing cursor spotlight (⌃⌥1) keeps learners oriented, an on-screen keystroke display (⌃⌥2) teaches the shortcut as you use it, and drawing (⌃⌥3) points at exactly what matters.
Hit record and Limelight bakes all of it into the video and auto-zooms into each click — ready for Udemy, Teachable, Kajabi, or YouTube with no second recorder or editing pass. It can also run as a live overlay your own recorder captures. One-time purchase, free to start, no subscription required.

FAQ
- Do I need Screen Studio or OBS too?
- No — Limelight records your lessons itself, with the overlays baked in. It can also run as a live overlay another recorder captures, if you already have one.
- Will the keystroke display clutter my course videos?
- No — it only shows shortcuts and special keys, not normal typing, and badges fade quickly.
- Is it a one-time purchase?
- Yes, a one-time purchase free to start and no subscription required.
