Record your iOS or Android app, add hotspots viewers tap through, and share a mobile demo that opens in any browser with nothing to install.
What is a mobile app demo?
A mobile app demo is an interactive walkthrough of an iOS or Android app that plays in a browser. Viewers tap through the app's real screens at their own pace, so they see how it works without downloading it.
Record your screen on an iPhone, an iPad, or an Android device, or record an emulator with the Supademo desktop app.
Place hotspots on the recording's timeline or split it into steps, then add voiceover, chapters, and blur.
Send a link or embed the demo on your site. It opens in any browser, on any device.
Three ways to build
Upload a screen recording from your phone and place hotspots at moments on its timeline. The video stops at each hotspot until the viewer taps, so you keep one recording and skip cutting it into steps. We recommend this method for most mobile apps.
Cut a recording at the moments that matter, and each segment becomes a step. Between steps you can add chapters, forms, calls to action, and still images, which suits a longer demo that needs context or a lead form partway through.
Run your app in an iOS or Android emulator and record it with the Supademo desktop app for Mac and Windows. If your app runs in a browser, resize the window to phone width and capture it with the Chrome extension, which can also save the pages as an HTML demo.
Edit
A mobile demo opens in the same editor as every other Supademo, with the same tools.
Add text, arrows, and highlights that point viewers to the part of the screen that matters.
Hide the names, emails, and account numbers that show up in a recording.
Narrate each step in an AI voice, or clone your own.
Translate the demo's text and voiceover for each market you sell in.
Open with a title card and break a long workflow into sections.
Send viewers down different paths, and fill in a company name or a role for each one.
Use cases
Marketing, sales, support, and training teams each put the same demo to work.
Embed a demo next to the download button, so visitors try the app before they install it.
Send a prospect a demo of the mobile workflow they asked about, and see whether they opened it.
Answer a how-to question with a tap-through guide in your help center.
Teach field and frontline teams a new app release before it reaches their phones.

A mobile app demo is an interactive walkthrough of an iOS or Android app that plays in a browser. Viewers tap through the app's real screens at their own pace, so they see how it works without downloading it.
Record your screen on the phone, or record an emulator with Supademo's desktop app. Upload the recording, place hotspots on its timeline or split it into steps, then share the demo as a link or an embed.
Yes. Record an iPhone or Android emulator with Supademo's desktop app, resize your browser to phone width and capture it with the Chrome extension, or upload a screen recording you already have. You don't need a physical device or a cable.
Yes. Upload the video from your phone or your computer, then add hotspots on its timeline or split it into steps. You don't need to record the app again.
A timeline hotspot is an interactive hotspot placed at a timestamp inside one recording. We recommend them for mobile because you keep one continuous video and skip the work of splitting it into steps.
You can build demos of iPhone, iPad, and Android apps. Viewers open them on any device and in any browser without installing anything.
No. A mobile demo is a link or an embed that plays in the browser on a phone, a tablet, or a desktop. Viewers don't need your app, an account, or a plugin.
Emulator tools stream a live app session, which takes time to load and needs a running environment. A Supademo mobile demo is a recording viewers tap through at their own pace. It loads without a live app, and you can add analytics, AI voiceover, and personalization.
Yes. Every mobile demo has an embed code for websites, landing pages, and knowledge bases. You can also share it as a link, with options like password protection and a custom domain.
Supademo tracks unique views, viewer identity, engagement on each step, drop-off points, and completion rates, so you can find the screen where viewers lose interest.
Yes. Conditional branching sends viewers down different paths through the same demo, and dynamic variables fill in details like a company name or a role, so one demo can serve many audiences.
Yes. A demo can mix phone-sized steps with desktop or presentation steps, which helps when a workflow moves between a web app and a mobile app. Set the mobile steps to fit inside the frame so the whole screen shows.
