FocusTake — one takeFocusTake
About

A focused tool for browser product demos

FocusTake takes a single browser-tab recording and turns it into a clean demo you can share, without the editing afterward.

Most product demos die in the edit. You record a walkthrough, then lose an hour adding zooms, smoothing the cursor, and cropping the frame. FocusTake does that part from the recording itself, so you record once and you're basically done.

What we're building

FocusTake is a Chrome extension. It records a tab you choose and turns your interactions into automatic zooms and a smooth cursor. Refine the framing in the local editor, then export WebM, MP4, or GIF on your machine. It's for founders, indie hackers, product marketers, SaaS and support teams, and creators who need a demo to look good without a lot of time.

What we care about

One take

Almost no setup and no editing maze. Record your product once and let the zoom find the focus.

Local-first

Recording, editing, and WebM, MP4, or GIF export all run on your device.

Built for product demos

Made for browser apps, SaaS walkthroughs, changelogs, and tutorials, rather than generic screen capture.

Honest about scope

We describe what the current build actually does, and we flag experimental or future work as exactly that.
