Bezel 1.0 is available now! Show an iPhone on your Mac simply by plugging it in. It has a hyper realistic frame of the connected iPhone to make it all look amazing.
It was such a joy to build a Mac app that makes complex things really simple. Already got great feedback, but looking forward to a lot more feedback now we're open for everyone to give it a try.
You can try it for free yourself at https://getbezel.app
Just added this little icon to the Bezel toolbar. Small step, but a big one. It unlocks controlling any iPhone straight from your Mac. Keyboard, mouse, any iPhone. One step closer to a first preview.

Playing around with the cursor following the curvature of the window exactly. Instead of the 90 degree cursor macOS supports by default. Quite interesting how natural and smooth it feels.
Yesterday Bunq did Bunq Update 31 live at DeLaMar theatre in Amsterdam. The iPhones huge on the stage screen behind the presenters? Mirrored live on Bezel.
Someone at Bunq let me know beforehand they'd use it, switching from a different setup. Made my week.
Bezel shows up throughout the demo. Around 24:44 is a nice bit with two iPhones on screen at once, one on camera: https://www.youtube.com/live/DfECs9brxHE?si=Q95bo8bh1GzlDTlM&t=1484

We kept hearing from developers who wanted to use RecordKit in Mac App Store apps but couldn't because of sandbox restrictions.
So we built RecordKit Sandboxed. Same recording SDK, same API, fully compatible with the App Store sandbox.

Bezel now calculates a custom corner radius for the device frame that you use, makes it easier to grab and resize the corner of the device.
Hope that reduces a bit of frustrating while giving a demo of you app to an audience and trying to make the device look a bit bigger.

A lot of teams use Bezel to mirror iPhones and iPads during sales pitches and product demos. If your company has an iOS app, showing it live on screen makes all the difference.
Today we're launching the Bezel Business plan. Consolidated billing, team management, and an enrollment page where employees sign up with their company email to get a license themselves. No IT tickets needed.
You could already buy a Bezel lifetime license on our website. Now it's also available as an in-app purchase on the App Store. Same deal either way.
Recently added system audio recording support to RecordKit through Apple's Core Audio APIs. Turns out that since macOS 26, you don't need explicit system audio recording permission if you already have screen recording permissions. One less permission to request. Might be neat to know if you work with this API.
We made sure to mention it in our RecordKit docs: https://nonstrict.eu/recordkit/guides/system-audio-recording.html#permissions
Got some new hardware to test audio/video sync timing.
Tom and I have been syncing audio and video by hand-clapping and counting takes out loud. About time we got a proper upgrade.
Echo cancellation just shipped in RecordKit. If you're building a meeting recorder, you know the problem: remote audio leaks into the mic and Whisper either transcribes it twice or produces garbled output. One enum on the microphone recorder fixes it. Aggressive mode for clean STT input, balanced mode when the audio needs to sound good for playback.
