Show your work, firsthand.
Screen recorders make every app look like a commercial. Firsthand shows yours the way you’d show a friend: phone in hand, face, voice. Finished the second you stop talking.
What you see is what they’ll see.
Firsthand composes your phone, camera, and voice live, so the preview is the video. No timeline waits afterward. There was never any raw footage to fix.
Your phone, in your hand.
People trust what they can watch being used. Your iPhone streams to your Mac over Wi-Fi and stays fully yours: scroll, tap, type. It reads as real because it is.
- No cables.
- Your iPhone streams over Wi-Fi, so there's nothing running across your desk to trip over or frame out of shot.
- No capture card.
- Firsthand reads the feed straight off your phone. Nothing extra to buy, install, or fight with drivers over.
- No screen mirroring.
- Full-resolution video, not a laggy AirPlay window stretched and compressed across your screen.
Record at
your command.
The best demo happens five minutes after the thing finally works. Press ⇧⌘R from any app and the countdown rolls, mic, phone link, and disk checked at a glance, with Do Not Disturb blocking stray notifications.
Ready to record
Pre-flight
Only your best take leaves the room.
You build things for a living. Nobody said you had to be good on camera too. Every stop files a take, so flub the line and roll again.
Replay a take the moment you finish it. Star the one that felt right, trash the rest, and drag the keeper into the post.

Done before you’ve stopped talking.
Stop recording and the file is already on your Mac — composed, mixed, and encoded while you talked. Trim the ends if you want. That’s the whole edit. You shipped an hour ago.
Every feed, one recording.
16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Reels and TikTok, 1:1 for the timeline. Record once and the canvas lays out for each.
Simple, like the rest.
