Your demo looks
boring.
Fix that.
Pyrocut records anything on your Mac — a window, the Simulator, your whole desktop — then cuts it into a polished demo. Auto-zoom on every click, focus blur, cursor tracking, cinematic backdrops. Twitter-ready in thirty seconds.
Three steps. One binary.
No daemons, no Electron, no helper apps. A 16 MB signed Mac binary that opens before your simulator does.
Aim.
Pick what to record — any window, the iOS Simulator, a region, your whole screen. Pyrocut hooks the framebuffer at 60fps. No QuickTime, no permission dance.
Record.
Hit ⌃⇧R. Every click, swipe, scroll, and keystroke is captured as a structured beat with coordinates and timing. The recorder floats. Your hands stay in the work.
Ship.
Auto-zoom snaps in on every beat. Cursor highlights track gestures. Drop a cinematic backdrop, slap a device frame, export 1080p MP4 → paste into the post draft you already had open.
An editor that opens with your demo
already cut.
Auto-zoom on every beat.
Pyrocut watches the cursor. When you click, the camera glides in. When you breathe, it pulls back. Hand-keyframe quality, generated in a frame.
Cursor tracking + click rings.
A focus halo follows your cursor so viewers always know where to look. Ember rings ping on every click. Hovers leave a contrail you can tune.
Cinematic backdrops.
Twelve curated scenes — ember dusk, indigo grain, studio matte. Or drop in a brand gradient. Window shadow + bokeh fall naturally.
Focus blur.
Soft-blurs the periphery during zooms so the eye locks on the action. Adjustable radius, smart edge falloff. Looks shot, not screen-grabbed.
Mac, window, Simulator, region.
Any source: a single app window, an iOS Simulator, an Xcode debugger, a region you draw. Switch sources mid-cut.
Twitter-ready exports.
1080p MP4 at the aspect ratio the post wants — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1. Caption track. GIF fallback. Drag the file straight onto your draft.

The fine print.
Yes. Pyrocut captures the framebuffer at 60fps and stores it as H.265 by default, or ProRes if you tell it to. The .cut file also holds the structured input track — clicks, scrolls, keystrokes with sub-frame timing — so re-editing later doesn't lose anything.
