Solo developer here — building a Mac screen recorder

Hey Product Hunt 👋

I’m a solo developer and I’ve been building NovaCapture, a native screen recorder for Mac.

I started building it because I kept finding that recording a good product demo takes more work than the actual demo. You record the screen, move the cursor around, and then spend more time editing everything to make it easier to follow.

That led me to build NovaCapture around automatic zoom, smooth cursor movement, webcam, and audio — with the goal of making a clean demo straight from the recording.

I’m still learning a lot about building, launching, and getting feedback as a solo developer.

For the developers and makers here: what’s the biggest pain point you have when creating screen recordings or product demos?

I’d love to hear how others are doing it and what you wish existing tools did better.
