Limelight
For solutions & sales engineers demoing complex software
When you demo complex software to a prospect, the fastest way to lose them is a dense screen and a cursor they can’t track. Limelight records your Mac demo so every click, keystroke, and detail is impossible to miss — and it runs fully offline for confidential accounts.
Solutions engineers and sales engineers live in complex UIs — dashboards, admin panels, configs, integrations — and have to make them legible to a buyer who has never seen the product. A raw screen capture works against you: the pointer disappears, the important field is one of forty on screen, and the prospect quietly stops following. The recording has to actively guide the eye.
Limelight does that automatically. It auto-zooms into whatever you click, so the one field that matters fills the frame instead of hiding in a busy layout. It smooths the cursor and adds a spotlight so the buyer never loses where you are, and it bakes your keystrokes on screen so a shortcut or an input value is readable, not guessed at. The result is a demo that explains itself — fewer "wait, where did you click?" moments, fewer follow-up calls to re-explain.
Because it records locally and fully offline with no account, it is safe for the demos SEs actually give: unreleased features, a customer’s sandbox, internal tooling, anything under NDA. Nothing is uploaded to a cloud, so it clears security review where a hosted recorder would not. When the take is done, trim it, speed past the loading states, and export to mp4 for the deal room or a follow-up email.
It is a native macOS app, notarized by Apple, on Apple Silicon and Intel — free to start, then a $34 one-time lifetime license (or $2.99/month). One purchase per engineer, no per-seat SaaS bill, no recordings sitting on a vendor’s server.

FAQ
- Why not just use Loom or a cloud recorder for sales demos?
- Cloud recorders upload your capture to their servers, which is a problem for demos of unreleased features, a customer sandbox, or anything under NDA. Limelight records fully offline with nothing uploaded, so it clears security review while still auto-zooming and showing keystrokes.
- How does this make a complex demo easier to follow?
- It auto-zooms into each click so the relevant part of a busy UI fills the frame, smooths the cursor with a spotlight so the viewer never loses you, and shows your keystrokes on screen — so a first-time buyer follows the flow without you re-explaining. free to start, then go Pro from $2.99/mo or a $34 one-time lifetime license. macOS 14+, notarized by Apple.
- Is it per-seat like most demo software?
- No. Limelight is a $34 one-time lifetime license per engineer (or $2.99/month), not a per-seat SaaS subscription — and nothing is stored on a vendor’s server.
