Overview

Kite is a screen recorder that makes your demo videos look like Apple commercials in minutes.

Simply record your app (works for iPhone recordings too!). Kite will track your cursor and keyboard inputs, so it can automatically zoom in on the action with professional 3D animations.

Kite is as easy as Canva, but your videos will look like they came out of OpenAI or Figma.

- One-click cinematic 3D animations

- Display recordings on 3D mockup devices (MacBooks, iPhones etc)

- Combine unlimited recordings into one video

- Edit, adjust speed and trim recordings

- Add text scenes and text annotations alongside recordings

- AI voiceovers using state of the art text to speech models

- Free music library

- Brand kit–upload your logos, colors and fonts

- Start from our template library or start from scratch

Kite is used by hundreds of YC companies for launch videos, social media posts, landing page demos, changelog updates, feature releases and more.
