Dora for mobile apps
Dora generates short vertical video for mobile app marketing from a prompt or a screenshot — around 70 four-second clips a month on the $15 plan. It is built for indie developers and small studios who need a constant supply of creatives for TikTok, Reels and Shorts but have no budget for a videographer.
The problem
App marketing now runs on volume: post many variations of the same idea and let the algorithm find the winner. That model breaks the moment each creative costs you an afternoon in an editor. Most indie apps stop posting not because they run out of ideas but because they run out of hours.
How it works
- 01Start from a screenshot or a line of textA screen recording still, your app icon, or just a sentence describing the shot.
- 02Generate ten variations of the same ideaDifferent hooks, different opening frames, different pacing — the variation is what stops platforms flagging reposts.
- 03Download and postVertical, no watermark, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts from your own account.
What to make
- Problem → app → relief, the format most indie apps grow on
- Screen recording with an AI-generated hook frame in front of it
- Ten versions of one hook, to find which opening line holds
- A recurring AI character who introduces each new feature
- Sound-effect stings over UI moments, generated with ElevenLabs SFX
What Dora does and does not do
Dora makes the videos and exports them. It does not publish or schedule to TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, and it does not manage social accounts — you upload from your own. It also does not measure installs; pair it with your existing attribution.
Questions
