Short verdict
Good fit for
Software companies and creators who want polished-looking product demos without a video agency.
Less suited to
Anyone who needs a data processing agreement: Kite does not mention one. And on Windows you are still on a beta version.
Key facts
- Free plan with a watermark on exports
- Recordings stay on your own Mac, unless you use AI features
- Windows version is still in beta
What is Kite?
Kite is a screen recorder from Kite Video, Inc. for making demo videos of software. You record your Mac or iPhone, and Kite automatically adds zooms that follow your cursor, plus text scenes, 3D mockups of devices, music and an AI voice-over. You can combine several recordings and clips in one project. Kite runs on the Mac; the Windows version is in beta.
Kite describes itself as a Mac app that works locally: recordings and projects stay on your computer, unless you share them, use an AI feature that uploads footage, or contact support. For analytics, Kite uses Sentry and Mixpanel, which you can turn off in the settings. The site does not mention a data processing agreement, a data location or a place of establishment.
Good: a professional-looking product demo in a short time, and your footage stays local by default.
Less good: at $40 per month with annual billing, Pro is expensive for one user, and we did not find a data processing agreement.

The Netherlands check
Useful if you run a business in the Netherlands. "Unknown" means we could not verify it.
Support in Dutch: Unknown
You would rather ask a question in Dutch, to someone who knows how things work in the Netherlands.
App in Dutch: Unknown
An app in Dutch is quicker to use and avoids mistakes, also for colleagues who read less English.
Data in the EU: Unknown
A screen recording shows everything that was on your screen: emails, customer names, dashboards. If you share through the vendor's cloud, where those videos are stored matters.
More about data in the EU →Data processing agreement: Unknown
If you record customer data and put the video in the tool's cloud, the vendor processes it for you and you need a data processing agreement. If everything stays local on your computer, that matters less.
More about the data processing agreement →Company in the Netherlands: Unknown
A Dutch company falls under Dutch law. For some businesses that matters, for example in a dispute.
