A Screen Recorder for Software Demos
A demo video is a product shot in motion — it has one job: make the software look as good as it is. That takes a clean frame, tight pacing, and the viewer's eye on the right feature at the right second. ScreenTailor records and edits the demo in one native macOS app.
Frame it like a product shot
Capture the product, not your desktop. A region capture snapped to 16:9 — or the exact pixel size your landing page player uses — means no letterboxing, no menu-bar clutter, and a file that drops straight into the page.
Pace: the demo killer
Nothing loses a prospect like watching a spinner. After recording, trim the gaps and retime the slow parts — run the form fill at double speed, keep the reveal at full speed. The live take doesn't need to be perfect; the timeline fixes what the take got wrong.
Real data, safely
Demos on real data are more convincing than lorem ipsum — and riskier. Draw a blur over the customer name or API key for exactly the seconds it's on screen. The blur carries into the export and into any still you grab for the deck.
Land the money moment
When the feature you're selling appears, put the eye on it: an eased zoom into the result, a spotlight on the number that changed, a caption naming the benefit. Then export a clean MP4 that plays on the landing page, in the sales deck and on social.

How do I record a software demo that doesn't feel slow?
Cut and compress. Trim the dead air between actions, and retime the waiting — a loading spinner or a long form fill can run at double speed without losing meaning. ScreenTailor does both on the timeline after recording, so the live take doesn't have to be perfect.
Can I demo with real data without leaking it?
Yes — draw a blur region over the customer name, email or key for exactly the seconds it's visible, and it's hidden in the export and in any screenshot you take from the recording. Demoing on real data looks better than lorem ipsum, and the blur makes it safe.
What export format works for sales pages, docs and social?
MP4. It plays natively in browsers, embeds in docs tools, and uploads to every social platform. Record the region at the aspect ratio the destination needs — 16:9 for most — and you skip re-encoding and letterboxing.
