About

Tap Pointer

Read full description

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.

Mission Alarm doesn't ask you to wake up. It makes you prove it. Every other alarm ends with a swipe you'll take half-asleep and never remember. Mission Alarm ends with a mission: solve a math problem, walk a few steps, shake your phone, repeat a memory pattern, hold your balance, or pass a reflex test. The alarm keeps going until the mission is done - and by then, you're genuinely awake. MISSIONS, NOT SNOOZE BUTTONS - Nine mission types: math, typing, steps, shake, reflex tap, memory, balance, timer and 3D spatial puzzles - Spin the wheel for a random mission, or pick exactly which ones you want - Three difficulty levels - Easy, Medium and Hard - Bail out and the alarm comes back a few minutes later, and again after that A STREAK WORTH PROTECTING - Earn XP for every mission you finish, level up as you go - Build a wake-up streak - and spend a freeze on the mornings life gets in the way - Collect badges for the habits you're building - Wake-up insights show how your mornings are actually trending PRACTICE BEFORE IT COUNTS Try any mission any time, with nothing on the line. Learn how a mission feels at 2pm so it isn't a surprise at 6am. BUILT FOR THE MORNINGS THAT MATTER - Repeat alarms for weekdays, weekends, or any days you choose - Custom tones, or bring your own sound - Themes that suit your morning, light or dark - Ten languages MISSION ALARM PRO Easy missions are free, forever. Pro unlocks Medium and Hard missions and removes ads. - Weekly, monthly or yearly - cancel any time - Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://missionalarm-privacy.vercel.app
