PreviewSmith
The video your listing is missing, without the agency invoice
- Who it's for
- Indie iOS and Android developers who have just shipped an app — solo or a team of two or three, with no video, no studio, and no marketing budget.
- The problem it solves
- App Store preview videos measurably lift installs, but making one means screen-recording your own app over and over until a take is clean, then editing it. Agencies quote four figures for thirty seconds. So most indie apps ship with no video at all and quietly convert worse than they should.
PreviewSmith is the commercial face of a capture engine that boots an iOS Simulator or Android emulator, injects real photos so camera and scanning flows look genuine, drives the UI through Maestro, and screen-records the run while timing every step automatically. Narration and captions are added from the same engine, then exported as a 9:16 store-ready MP4. Because it drives the real app rather than a mockup, the video stays truthful — and re-rendering after a UI change is a re-run, not a reshoot.

What it does
Send us your build. An agent boots a real simulator, drives the actual app through your key flows, records it, times narration to what's on screen, and returns a captioned, store-ready preview video.
Why it's different
- Drives your real app, so nothing in the video is a mockup
- Re-render after a UI change is a re-run, not a reshoot
- $149 flat, against four-figure agency quotes
Core capabilities
Each capability maps to a concrete screen in the app.
Real device capture
Boots an actual simulator or emulator and drives the shipped build.
Real photos injected
Camera and scanning flows are shot with genuine images, not placeholders.
Auto-timed narration
Each step is measured so the voiceover lines up with what's on screen.
Store-ready export
Captioned 9:16 MP4, sized and formatted for App Store and Play submission.
Access
