Can this record just native apps (i.e. non websites)?

Unfortunately not iOS guardrails make that pretty much impossible I had to accepts some tradeoffs to get this specific collection of features, Face Cam, touches, etc… I’ve heard Android might allow more, and I’ll be looking into an Android port soon.

Looks like it is possible if you do a normal iOS screen recording, then use your app to add the Face Cam and touches on top.

looks amazing! any plans for an android version?

Yes! I purchased an Android device this week, and next week I’m going to start working on a port.

From what I’ve gathered, the Android version might be better due to lesser screen recording constraints

“Ask me about Loom”

"You mean the latest masterpiece of fantasy storytelling from Lucasfilm's™ Brian Moriarty™? Why, it's an extraordinary adventure with an interface of magic, stunning, high-resolution, 3D landscapes, sophisticated score and musical effects. Not to mention the detailed animation and special effects, elegant point 'n' click control of characters, objects, and magic spells. Beat the rush! Go out and buy Loom™ today!"

I will not hide my disappointment that this headline was not, in fact, referring to the classic adventure game.

Yes, it’s possible to do composite edits after a screen recording

The tradeoffs here were aimed at doing it all live in a single take
