stuff it does for you →

The polish, on autopilot.

🔍

Auto-zoom

The lens follows your clicks, drags with you across a panel, pulls out when there's nothing to focus on. Camera-physics smooth.

🖱️

Buttery cursor

Replaces your jittery hand with smoothed motion, sized up so viewers can actually follow it. Optional click ripples + spotlight.

🎨

Pretty backgrounds

Drop your screen on a gradient, a wallpaper, or your own image. Rounded corners, soft shadows, picture-perfect proportions.

🎥

Webcam overlay

Picture-in-picture, circle or rectangle, drag where you want. It stays out of the way of your zooms automatically.

🎙️

Dual-audio capture

System sound + your mic, recorded on separate tracks. Tweak each independently or export sidecar for mixing later.

📝

Captions, free

On-device speech-to-text writes captions for you. Burn them in or export SRT/VTT sidecars. Nothing leaves your machine.

why bother?

Free. Offline. Yours.

No accounts. No telemetry. No subscription. Your recordings, transcripts, and edits stay on your machine. Client work, your channel, an internal team — whatever you want.

🏠

Local-first

Recording, editing, captions — all on your device. No cloud round-trip, ever.

🔓

No lock-in

Project files are yours. Export to MP4 or GIF. Take your work anywhere.

🕵️

No tracking

We don't analyze your recordings. We can't — the app doesn't phone home.

Common questions.

Wait, it's REALLY free?

Yep. No paid tier, no time-limited trial, no watermark. Personal videos, client work, internal demos — go nuts.

Windows? Linux?

Yep. The download cards point at the latest GitHub Release for macOS, Windows, and Linux. If a platform build is not attached to the current release yet, GitHub will show a 404 until that asset is published.

Does anything leave my computer?

Nope. Recording, editing, captions — all on your machine. The speech-to-text runs an on-device model. No telemetry, no cloud upload, no account.

Can I export?

Render to MP4 or animated GIF. Captions export as SRT/VTT sidecars. Audio tracks export separately for mixing in your editor of choice.
