Tap Pointer helps you turn recorded app demos into clearer tutorial and support videos. Import a video from Photos or Files, then add visible tap effects and rectangular area highlights exactly where viewers should look. Adjust timing on the timeline, preview the result, and optionally record a voiceover before exporting a high-quality MP4. Tap Pointer is designed for product demos, app walkthroughs, bug reports, training clips, and support videos. It works with already-recorded videos and does not record your screen or capture touches from other apps. Editing and preview are free. High-quality MP4 export is available with a one-time Export Unlock purchase.
