Show HN: I made a screen recording app to make demos like an Apple commercial

Hey HN!

I made ShotGlass, a Mac app for screenshots, screen recordings, and cinematic demos.

I was tired of jumping between four apps to make one product demo. Screenshots, recordings, annotations, and After Effects for anything cinematic.

I also saw the MacBook Neo commercials (recording playing on a 3D MacBook in a scene) and wondered why no screen recorder just did that.

So ShotGlass does all of it: multi-window capture, annotations, zooms, transitions, and dropping a recording onto a 3D MacBook with a simulated lens.

It's free to try, a one time purchase and everything stays local.

I tried to make it simple to use and, for fun, themed like a glass of whisky. I'm updating it quite a lot, so I'd love your feedback.
