Limelight

Present product demos on a Mac

A live product demo is hard to follow when the audience cannot see where you are pointing or what you pressed. Limelight gives you a spotlight, keystrokes, and drawing in one overlay.

Presenting a product demo means guiding an audience through a live interface in real time. The risk is losing them, they cannot find your cursor, they miss the shortcut that triggered an action, and they are unsure which part of the screen you mean. A great demo keeps attention exactly where you want it, every step of the way.

Limelight is a menu-bar overlay that gives you three tools for exactly that. Press ⌃⌥1 for the cursor spotlight to guide attention to your pointer. Press ⌃⌥2 for the keystroke display so the audience sees the actions you trigger. Press ⌃⌥3 to draw freehand and point things out directly, clearing with ⌃⌥C when the screen gets busy. All three work live on top of your product and any other app, with nothing to switch into.

Because Limelight is a pure overlay, it works whether you are presenting in person, sharing in Zoom or Google Meet, or recording the demo for later. Turn on whichever tools fit the moment, run your demo over your real product, and your audience gets a clear, guided walkthrough they can actually follow.

FAQ

Can I use all three features in one demo?
Yes. The cursor spotlight (⌃⌥1), keystroke display (⌃⌥2), and drawing (⌃⌥3) each have their own hotkey, so you can toggle whichever you need at any moment.
Does it work when I share my screen or record the demo?
Yes. Limelight is a live overlay, so it is captured by any meeting app or screen recorder as part of your screen.
