Fintech demos without exposing a number.

Real demos need real screens. Real screens have real numbers.

Mock data never looks quite right, but recording the real product means account numbers, balances and customer names on screen. Shotbox lets you record the real thing and hide what must not be seen, and nothing is uploaded on the way.

What you'll make

Product walkthroughs

Show the real app with every sensitive field blurred, even as the page scrolls.

Feature explainers

Walk customers through a new payment flow with captions and clear zooms.

Partner and investor demos

A polished recording to send ahead of the meeting.

How Shotbox helps

Every tool for the job, in one app.

Hide fields while you record

In draw mode, press B to blur or X to pixelate an account number, an IBAN or a balance. With stick on, the blur follows the field as you scroll. If it loses track, it stays put rather than uncovering anything.

A second blur, in the editor

A live blur is drawn a frame behind the screen, so for anything that must never be seen, add a blur in the editor too. Stick to screen content keeps it on the field through scrolling, zooms and layout changes, and export waits until the tracking has finished.

Screenshots with the numbers gone

For help articles and release notes, blur or pixelate figures in a screenshot. The original pixels are destroyed on export, not just covered by a layer someone could remove.

Clear explanations of complex flows

Payment flows and onboarding checks take careful explaining. Captions make every step readable, and editing by transcript makes it quick to tighten the wording.

Tips

Tips for better results.

Redact twice
Blur live with B while you record, then add an editor blur with Stick to screen content. The live blur is drawn a frame behind, so the second one is your guarantee.
Pixelate digits
Pixelate reads as deliberately hidden on numbers; Blur looks softer on names and addresses.
Use the transcript for wording
Financial phrasing matters. Read the transcript before export and cut anything that overpromises.
Screenshots for the docs
In the screenshot editor, blur and pixelate destroy the original pixels on export, so nothing can be recovered from the image.

How it works

Three steps, one app.

Everything runs on your Mac, and nothing is uploaded on the way.

1
Blur while you record
Press B or X in draw mode to hide a field; the blur sticks to it as you scroll.

2
Make sure in the editor
Add a blur that follows what it covers through scrolling and zooms. Export waits until it has finished tracking.

Export on your Mac
Nothing is rendered in the cloud and nothing is uploaded.

An example

Recording a new payments flow

Before
Open the flow on a test account and turn on draw mode.
Recording
Press B over the card number and the account balance as they appear. The blurs follow the page as it scrolls.
Editing
Add editor blurs over the same fields, with stick to screen content on. Caption the walkthrough and cut a hesitant sentence from the transcript.
Export
Export on the Mac and send the file for review. It has never been anywhere else.

Questions

Is Shotbox certified for financial compliance?

Shotbox doesn’t hold certifications. What it does is keep everything on your Mac: no uploads, no cloud processing and no telemetry. That leaves your own review process in control.

Is a blur in the video permanent?

Yes. Blurs and pixelation are baked into the exported file. In screenshots the original pixels are destroyed.

What if the blur slips during recording?

A live blur that loses track stays where it was rather than uncovering anything. For anything critical, add an editor blur as well.
