Cinemac for developers

Coding videos people can actually read.

Cinemac zooms in on the line you click, shows the shortcuts you press and captions every word. Explain it on camera, or type a script and an AI presenter says it. Then export an MP4 or a README GIF.

What it does

Built for screens full of code.

Three things that make a coding video easy to follow.

01 · Readable

Small text, big enough.

Cinemac zooms in on the line you click, so small code reads on a phone. The shortcuts you press show on screen as keycaps.

  • Zooms on every click
  • Keys on screen
  • Sharpened when zoomed
Keys on screen
02 · Typing

Skip the typing.

Cinemac finds long runs of typing and offers to speed them up. Delete a word in the transcript and the video is cut there too.

  • Speed up typing
  • Edit by words
  • Shorten pauses

03 · Private

Secrets stay secret.

Blur, pixelate or black out anything private. Masks move with the screen when it zooms, and they fade in early so nothing shows for a frame. Recording, transcripts and export all run on your Mac.

  • Blur, pixelate, redact
  • Follows zooms
  • Nothing uploaded

Coding agents · 3:01 · Sound on

Or let your coding agent make it.

Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Claude Desktop in Settings › Agents, then ask for a demo of what you just built. In part one, Claude connects. In part two, it makes a whole demo from one prompt. How agents work

One prompt, and Claude records the app, edits it, writes the voice-over, checks its own frames and exports.

Questions

Quick answers.

Will my code be readable?

Yes. A zoom on each click makes small text big, and Improve recording quality sharpens the picture wherever it’s shown bigger than it was recorded. Export goes up to 4K at 60 fps.

Can I hide API keys and emails?

Blur, pixelate or black out anything private. Masks move with the screen when it zooms, and they fade in early so nothing shows for a frame.

Can I make a GIF for a README?

Yes. Pick GIF in the export sheet and set the size and frame rate, or let the launch pack make one. Cinemac shows the file size before you export.

Can I start a recording from Raycast or Shortcuts?

Yes. cinemac:// links start and stop recordings, drop markers and export. A link that would start a recording asks you first.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Capture, transcription, face framing, noise removal and export run on your Mac. Only the account check goes online, plus the script you give AI voice or the AI presenter, if you choose to use them.

What do I need?

A Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 15 Sequoia or later. Any webcam works, including your Mac’s built-in camera.
