About Matte 1.6.1 for Mac
Matte is a native macOS app for recording, editing, and exporting polished app demo videos, developed by Jose Saez and built specifically for developers and product marketers who need professional App Store previews and product walkthroughs without a complex video editor. Matte requires macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later and is built as a native Swift app optimized for Apple Silicon. Version 1.6.1, released July 29, 2026, is the current stable release, improving H.264 and HEVC video export efficiency to reduce file sizes while maintaining visual quality, and fixing a video export crash affecting Intel Macs. What sets Matte apart from general-purpose video editors is its purpose-built focus on app demo creation: it can capture directly from the iOS Simulator with cursor tracking, connect to and record live iPhone or iPad hardware (Face ID, Dynamic Island, and all), or record any macOS window or full screen with full alpha channel support. A multitrack timeline editor supports trimming, splitting, and stacking up to four video tracks, with realistic device frames for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch automatically applied, alongside Auto Zoom for camera movement and on-device Whisper-powered auto captions that process entirely locally with no uploads. Exports support 4K resolution in HEVC, H.264, ProRes, or GIF, including transparent alpha channel video, and the app is available as a free tier with a watermark, upgradeable via monthly or lifetime licensing.
