Recording an app demo usually means juggling three or four tools. You capture the screen in one app, trim it in another, then add a phone frame and a background somewhere else. Matte was built to end that shuffle. It records your Mac screen, a single window, the iOS Simulator or a connected iPhone, then drops you straight into its own editor. From there you add frames, backgrounds, titles and smooth zoom, and export a video that looks planned.

Key Features

• Records the full screen, a Mac window, the iOS Simulator or a real iPhone
• Captures cursor movement, taps and swipes so viewers can follow each action
• Includes a timeline editor with video, audio and text tracks and keyframes
• Adds device frames, backgrounds, titles and Auto Zoom for focused demos
• Exports in 4K, as GIF or PNG stills, and as transparent video for reuse

How to Download

1. Go to the vendor site and check the current plan and trial details.
2. Download from the official site and open the downloaded file.
3. Move Matte to Applications, launch it, and record a short test clip.

System Requirements

Matte needs macOS 15 Sequoia or later and a Mac with Apple silicon. Recording the Simulator also needs Xcode, and a connected iPhone needs a cable or trusted pairing.

FAQs

Is Matte only for iPhone app demos?

No. It also records Mac apps, websites and any window on your screen, so it suits tutorials and product tours as well.

Can I try Matte before paying?

Yes. The vendor offers a free trial where exports carry a small watermark until you upgrade to a paid plan.

Does Matte replace a full video editor?

For demo videos, mostly yes. It covers recording, trimming, frames, text and export, though long film projects still suit a larger editor.
