What it does

A free Mac app with a teleprompter for talking-head videos. Claude Code storyboards, cuts the edit and drafts posts for LinkedIn, X, YouTube and Shorts.

Read your script, record a few takes, pick the best one. Claude Code edits the video and writes the posts. Styles The look of every edit: captions, titles, colours. Pick one. Claude writes the script and sketches every shot. Each shot shows its line, how to film it and a Record button. A teleprompter sits beside the camera and follows your voice. Pick an opening line, record, mark your best take. Takes records the camera and the screen at the same time. A post for each platform, shown the way it will look there. Try other versions, then schedule it. Takes has a Claude Code chat built in, next to your takes. It reads the same folders the app writes, so it knows the script, the best take and…from gettakes.app

    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.
