What is Kite?
Kite is a screen recorder for Mac and iPhone that produces polished demo videos for app developers and product teams. It captures your screen and then applies automatic zoom, 3D device mockups, animated text, and AI voiceover to the raw footage. The result looks like a professionally produced product video. You can import your own video and image files if you prefer not to use the built-in capture tool. Projects stay local by default, with optional cloud sharing for team collaboration.

Real-World Applications
Building a demo video for an app launch often means recording raw footage and then spending hours editing it to look professional. Kite handles that process inside one screen recorder workflow. The auto zoom tracks cursor movement on its own. The 3D mockup drops the footage into a phone or laptop model. The AI voiceover generates narration from text. The finished video can go directly to a product page or pitch deck.
A small team shipping a SaaS product can use Kite as their screen recorder for onboarding walkthroughs and feature announcements. The brand kit stores company fonts, colors, and logos so every video stays consistent. Cloud sharing lets teammates open and edit the same project without exporting files manually.
A solo developer building an iOS app can record both their Mac and iPhone screens inside the same screen recorder session. The clips combine in the editor, and the 3D device mockup makes the footage look production-ready without any motion graphics software.
Marketing teams working on product content can use Kite as a screen recorder that cuts the gap between raw capture and finished output. Templates give a starting structure. Callouts and blur tools handle annotation and privacy in the same pass. The AI demo video agent can take a rough recording and produce a polished video with minimal manual editing.
