Limelight
Make your screencasts easy to watch
Viewers drop off when they can not follow your cursor or see which keys you pressed. Limelight adds a cursor spotlight, on-screen keystrokes, and live drawing to any Mac screen recording.
For tutorial and course content, clarity is retention. A glowing cursor keeps viewers oriented, an on-screen keystroke display teaches the shortcut as you use it, and drawing lets you point at exactly what matters.
Limelight is a live overlay, so it pairs with whatever you already record with — QuickTime, OBS, Screen Studio. Toggle each tool with a global hotkey while you record, no post-editing required.
One-time $9, 7-day free trial, native and notarized.
