Feature set

A Mac screen recorder built for polished demos

Capture crisp Mac workflows, product walkthroughs, and tutorials with one recording and editing tool instead of a patchwork of utilities — and add on-device captions and transcription without sending anything to the cloud.

Built for demos, tutorials, and async updates

Attention control

Cursor spotlight and click effects

Guide the viewer through tutorials, demos, and bug reports with clearer cursor emphasis and click feedback.

Focus transitions

Auto-zoom that follows the action

Generate zoom regions from click activity so the important detail stays framed without extra manual editing.

Presentation polish

Device and browser framing

Wrap recordings in browser, laptop, tablet, or phone frames when the story needs more structure than a raw capture.

Fast post-production

Trim, speed up, and ship in one editor

Refine a take without exporting into a second tool just to clean timing, cut dead space, or tighten pacing.

Brandable output

Backgrounds that feel intentional

Use gradients, wallpapers, and custom backdrops to make async updates feel like finished communication, not leftovers.

Explanatory overlays

Annotations for complex workflows

Add text, arrows, and visual markers when a workflow needs explanation beyond cursor movement alone.

Distribution

Export MP4 and GIF from the same flow

Publish tutorials, release notes, bug reports, and social clips in the format that fits the destination.

Private accessibility

On-device captions and subtitle export

Generate a caption draft locally, review it, burn subtitles into the video, or export SRT and VTT without uploading the recording.

How to add captions to a screen recording

Repeatable workflows

Keyboard-driven editing and export

Move quickly through recording, cleanup, and export with shortcuts that support frequent, repeatable production.
