Product demo recorder - Clicknrec

Clicknrec was designed to make product demo creation fast, focused, and effortless for busy teams. The experience centers around recording directly on live products, then refining demos with controls like smart zoom, AI-trims, and highlights removing the need for complex video tools. We chose a Chrome extension to meet users where their work already happens, enabling instant capture without context switching.

What We Set Out to Do

Clicknrec was built to help PM’s, PMM’s, Founders & customer peoples create clear product demos without the friction of traditional tools. The challenge was demo creation usually breaks flow switching apps, setting up recordings, editing later. By designing Clicknrec as a Chrome extension, the experience lives directly inside the product being recorded, making capture instant & editing lightweight. The result is a faster, more focused way to turn real product interactions into shareable demos.

Understanding the problem

Research & Discovery

  • Spoke with PMs and marketers to understand how they actually create product demos day to day.
  • Reviewed popular demo and screen-recording tools to see where users feel slowed down or frustrated.
  • Observed real demo workflows to spot moments where people lose focus, make mistakes, or give up.

RESEARCH and outputs

Insight 1: Makes demo creation feel heavy.
Insight 2: Users want tools that fit naturally into where they already work.
Insight 3: Most demos need quick fixes, not complex editing.

Design Strategy

Designing

I designed Clicknrec by thinking like a user in the middle of their work, not like someone learning a new tool. The focus was to remove friction, keep controls simple, and make every action feel natural. By designing around flow and familiarity, the experience became more intuitive, engaging, and easy to use without interrupting the user’s momentum.
