Mac screen recorder that bakes your cursor, keystrokes, and auto-zoom into the video.
Limelight is a macOS screen recorder for demos and tutorials that highlights your cursor, shows the keys you press, and lets you draw on screen. When you record it auto-zooms into each click, smooths the cursor, and writes those overlays into the file, then you trim and export to mp4 or a 9:16 clip. It records locally with no account and works fully offline.

Free the gigabytes your dev tools and AI apps hoard
DevCleaner is a macOS menu bar app that finds and clears the caches dev tools leave behind, from Xcode DerivedData and Docker images to npm, Gradle, and AI tool caches like Cursor and Ollama. It rates every category Safe, Warning, or Danger and never pre-selects risky items, so you choose what to delete. The free tier does manual cleanup, and a one-time Pro upgrade adds Auto Clean, Smart Triggers, and Project Hibernation.
