A native Mac recorder and editor that auto-zooms on what matters, frames your video on beautiful wallpapers, and ships a polished demo in one take. Instage follows your cursor and pushes in on the action — automatically. Every click, framed. Drop your recording on a wallpaper, with padding, soft corners, and a shadow that makes any capture look intentional. Your webcam as a circle or a card — bordered, mirrored, and animated in. Right where it belongs. Caption the keys you press — ⌘C, ⇧⌘R, Tab — and place them anywhere on the canvas. Smooth motion, click ripples, and a cleaner pointer — with cinematic pans and seamless cutsfrom instage.studio

Unfortunately I'm not on a Mac, so I've developed my own tool that works in the browser for all OS. I hope you'll find it useful, and I'd be delighted to hear your feedback.

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, 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!

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!
