Cadence

What it does

Cadence turns screen recordings into polished how-to videos — without a video editor. You record your guide as short steps (2–8). Each auto-stops at 60 seconds, so you stay sharp. Cadence stitches them into one MP4 with animated titles, cross-dissolves and chapters — then exports the same guide in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1. No timeline. No cloud — it all stays on your Mac. One-time price, not a subscription.

Cadence records structured screen guides: 5 steps, a hard 1-minute cap per step, stitched into one MP4. No editing. No cloud. One-time price.

Cadence won't let you ramble. Every step auto-stops at 60 seconds, then stitches into one clean MP4 with chapters. No timeline, no editing, no cloud. Editing tutorials is where hours go to die. Cadence removes the timeline entirely — the structure does the editing for you. Start with 5 steps — add or remove down to 2 or up to 8. Name each one so viewers always know where they are. Hit record, show the thing, talk it through. At 60 seconds the take ends — period. Fumbled it? Retake just that step. Steps stitch automatically with title cards and chapter markers. Drop the file anywhere — Slack, Notion, your docs. Loom records meetings. Screen Studio makes launch videos. Scribe makes screenshot…from cadence.dashovia.app

  I’m an indie dev, and every time I launch or ship anything, there’s this familiar mini-hell: “now I need to record a decent demo…” You probably know the drill: - install yet another screen recorder - mess with audio input / system audio - accidentally capture your messy tabs or notifications - re-record because you forgot to hide something sensitive - open a separate editor just to crop, zoom, or add a simple arrow After doing this a few too many times, I realized I was spending way more time fighting tools than making the actual demo. And most of my needs were pretty simple: short…

  Hey HN! 3-4 weeks ago I was trying to record a webinar for another side project. Screen recording, full screen presentation, talking through slides — should be simple. Except I kept forgetting what I wanted to say. And every time I glanced at my notes, it was obvious on camera. Worse — when recording full screen, there's nowhere to put notes without them being captured. Tried a few teleprompter apps. They either covered half my screen, scrolled at a fixed speed I couldn't match, or showed up in the recording. So I thought: I've been a full-stack dev for 20+ years. Never touched Swift or…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
