What it does

Most device-video tools are Mac-only and built for landscape desktop demos. App Store previews are 9:16. TapCraft runs in the browser. Drop in an Android or iOS screen recording, wrap it in a real Pixel / iPhone / Galaxy frame, add tap ripples (click to place, or import exact coordinates from adb), auto-zoom the camera, cover the recorder's red chip, and export 1080 or 2K. Free is unlimited and watermarked.

Drop in an Android or iOS screen recording. Get a device-framed 9:16 launch video with real touch ripples and auto-zoom. Works on Windows.

Drop in a portrait recording from your device or emulator. TapCraft wraps it in a real handset, animates a ripple on every touch, pushes the camera in on what you tapped, and exports 9:16 up to 2K — ready for app demos, tutorials and social. Place them by clicking, or capture exact coordinates over adb while you record. Nothing is guessed from the footage. Taps within a second of each other share one eased push-in on their centre, so the camera looks deliberate instead of twitchy. Pixel, iPhone, Galaxy, OnePlus, Nothing, Xiaomi and a generic frame, each with its real finishes. Or pick any colour you like. Straight fades, centre glows and soft multi-colour blends. Bring your own audio. Music…from tapcraft.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. 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…
