Feature
Show every keystroke on screen
An on-screen overlay displays your keyboard shortcuts as you press them. Viewers never have to guess what key combination you just used.
Key benefits
Real-time overlay
Keystrokes appear as a visual overlay during recording. Modifier keys (Cmd, Ctrl, Shift, Alt) are displayed alongside regular keys.
Customizable position
Place the keystroke overlay anywhere on screen. Bottom-center, top-right, or any custom position.
Style options
Choose from minimal, rounded, or pill-style keystroke badges. Match the overlay to your recording aesthetic.

Frequently asked questions

You can configure it to show all keystrokes, only shortcuts (combinations with modifier keys), or specific keys you define.
Can I hide passwords from the overlay?
