Marketing captures span platforms that each demand their own stack: Chrome DevTools for web, Accessibility for macOS, simctl for iOS, and simulator workflows for watchOS. Stitching together screenshots, short clips, usage sequences, and exports across all of them is manual work that does not scale.
What I Built
Spectra is the primary Ross Labs capture tool for product demos: screenshots, guided usage sequences, smart framing, and a tagged export library across web, macOS, iOS, and watchOS. Video capture is supported where available and expanding.
Impact
Spectra supersedes Showcase. Showcase proved the value of development-time capture; Spectra makes that workflow cross-platform and organized enough to become the long-term demo library. The site should now treat Spectra as the default capture recommendation and Showcase as the legacy migration path.
How It Works
The Node runtime drives the web layer through Chrome DevTools Protocol. A Swift native bridge handles macOS automation through the Accessibility API and iOS/watchOS through simulator control. Capture sessions can store screenshots, guided usage sequences, framing metadata, tags, and export manifests in one local library.
