Limelight

A software demo recorder for sales and product on Mac

A recorded demo has to make the product obvious in one watch — a prospect will not rewind. Limelight records your walkthrough and auto-zooms into the exact feature you are showing, emphasizes every click, and smooths the cursor, so you can ship a clean demo with no editing and export an mp4 to drop into an email or deck.

Sales engineers and product marketers record the same walkthrough over and over: the async demo for a prospect who missed the call, the feature clip for the launch, the onboarding video for new accounts. The friction is that a flat screen capture is hard to follow — the cursor is small, important clicks slip by, and the one feature that closes the deal is the same size as everything else on screen. Fixing that in a heavy editor with manual zoom keyframes is exactly the time SEs and PMMs do not have.

Limelight does it at record time. Hit record and it auto-zooms into every click, so the moment you open the feature you are pitching, the frame pushes in on it; the cursor is smoothed so it reads as deliberate, not nervous. You can keep the on-screen keystroke display (⌃⌥2) off for a non-technical buyer, or on when you demo a power workflow, and use the cursor spotlight (⌃⌥1) and draw-on-screen (⌃⌥3) to point at the value. All of it is baked into the video — no overlay to capture, no post-production.

When you stop, trim the false start in the built-in editor and export an mp4 (or 9:16 for social) you can attach to an email, embed in a deck, or send through your CRM. It runs fully offline, so a demo of an unreleased product never touches a cloud. The cursor spotlight is free forever; Pro is a one-time $34 lifetime license (or $2.99/mo) — versus a heavyweight recorder license in the hundreds.

FAQ

Can I record a demo without editing afterward?
Yes. The auto-zoom, smoothed cursor, and emphasized clicks are baked in as you record, so most demos are ready as soon as you stop. The built-in editor is there only if you want to trim a false start or change speed.
Does it zoom into the feature I am showing?
Yes. It auto-zooms toward wherever you click, so when you open the feature you are pitching the frame pushes in on it automatically — no manual zoom keyframes.
Is it safe to record an unreleased product?
Yes. Limelight runs fully offline with no account and no cloud upload. The recording is an mp4 that stays on your Mac until you choose to share it.
What does it cost for a sales team?
The cursor spotlight is free forever, and Pro — recording, auto-zoom, keystrokes, and the editor — is a one-time $34 lifetime license (or $2.99/mo), with no per-seat subscription.
