LaunchCut turns simulator captures into clickable demos

LaunchCut is a macOS app for building interactive iOS demos directly from the Xcode simulator, letting makers capture screens, define clickable hotspots, and export a standalone HTML file or shareable embed link. It positions itself as a replacement for static App Store screenshots or video clips on landing pages.

// ANALYSIS

Strong fit for indie iOS teams and product marketers who want higher-converting landing pages without building a separate demo stack.

  • The core differentiator is simulator-native capture, which should make demo creation feel closer to actual app usage than stitched screen recordings.
  • Hotspot linking to screens or animations is the right interaction model for guided product tours, onboarding previews, and feature walkthroughs.
  • Exporting to self-contained HTML plus a shareable embed makes it useful both for owned sites and external sharing.
  • The overlap with tools like Arcade, Storylane, and Supademo is clear, but LaunchCut is narrower and more iOS-native, which is a real wedge.
  • Main risk: this only matters if the output looks polished and the authoring flow is faster than making a good video or demo in existing tools.
