The demo video tool built for indie hackers
You ship the product. Flowcase ships the demo. Point it at your app, say what to show, and get a clean MP4 back, no editing suite required.
You built the thing. Now you need a 30-second clip that shows it working: for your launch tweet, your Product Hunt page, the hero spot on your landing page. So you open a screen recorder, fumble the cursor, miss a click, and re-record it five times. An hour later you have a shaky take you are not proud of.
Flowcase does that part for you. Give it your app's URL and describe the flow in plain English. The AI agent drives the app, captures a clean run, and renders a polished video in the cloud. You get back a finished demo without touching an editing timeline.
Minutes, not afternoons
Describe the flow once and get a finished MP4 back, instead of burning an afternoon on retakes and edits.
Free to start
3 minutes of rendered demo every month at no cost, with no credit card to enter.
Records behind your login
Save a session once and Flowcase captures real, signed-in screens without ever seeing your password.
Re-render on every update
Ship a UI change and regenerate the demo in minutes, so your video never goes stale.
How a Flowcase demo gets made
Paste your app's URL and write the goal the way you would brief a teammate: 'sign up, create a project, invite a user.' The AI agent plans the clicks and typing, then runs them while it records. Prefer to be exact? Give it scripted steps instead: click this, type that, confirm the result.
From there a director pass groups the raw clicks into named, paced scenes with timing and importance, like an editor laying out a timeline. The camera auto-zooms into each click and field, then eases back out, so viewers always look where it matters. Captions are generated for you. The final MP4 renders in the cloud, up to 4K, with nothing to install.
Why this beats recording it by hand
Hand-recording is a tax on your time. Every retake costs you a clean cursor path, the right timing, and a window that does not flash a notification at the wrong second. You are an indie hacker: that hour belongs to your code or your customers, not to fighting a screen recorder.
Flowcase gives you eased cursor motion and steady zooms on every run. Change one step in your flow and re-render instead of re-shooting from scratch. When your UI ships an update, regenerate the demo in minutes rather than blocking out another afternoon.
Built for the demos solo builders actually ship
The launch clip for your Show HN or Product Hunt post. The looping hero video on your landing page. A feature walkthrough for your changelog or a short onboarding clip for new users. These are the videos that earn attention for a one-person company, and they are exactly what Flowcase is tuned to produce.
If your flow lives behind a login, save a session once on the Connections page and Flowcase records as your account. It never sees your password, and your demo shows real, signed-in screens instead of an empty logged-out shell.
Pricing that respects a solo budget
Start on Free at $0: 3 minutes of rendered demo every month at 1080p, with a watermark, no card required. That is enough to test a launch clip before you commit to anything.
When you need more, Starter is $15/mo for 600 rendered seconds at 1080p with no watermark. Pro at $39/mo unlocks 1440p, AI agent demos, and priority rendering. Paid plans bill pay-as-you-go per second if you run past your monthly pool, so a busy launch month never locks you out.
Frequently asked questions
- What makes Flowcase a good demo video tool for indie hackers?
- It removes the slowest part of shipping a demo. You describe the flow in plain English, and Flowcase drives your app, captures a clean run, and renders a polished MP4 in the cloud. No editing software, no retakes, and a free tier so a solo builder can ship a launch clip without spending a cent.
- Do I need any video editing skills?
- No. The auto-zoom, eased cursor motion, scene pacing, and captions are all handled for you. You write the goal or the exact steps, and Flowcase produces the finished video. There is no timeline to edit and no software to learn.
- How long does it take to make a demo?
- Most demos go from URL to finished MP4 in minutes. The agent plans and captures the run, the director pass arranges the scenes, and the cloud handles rendering, so you are not waiting on a slow local export.
- Can it record flows that require a login?
- Yes. Save a login session once on the Connections page and Flowcase records as your account. It never sees or stores your password, and your demo shows the real signed-in product instead of a logged-out page.
- What does the free plan actually include?
- Free gives you 3 minutes of rendered demo every month at 1080p, with a watermark, and no credit card required. It is enough to test a real launch clip. When you outgrow it, Starter at $15/mo removes the watermark and unlocks 1080p.
- Can I update a demo when my app changes?
- Yes. Adjust a step or point it at the updated flow and re-render, rather than recording from scratch. That keeps your launch and landing-page videos current as you ship new features.
