Mac screen recordings that look edited when you hit stop
Smooth Recorder is a native Mac app for demos and tutorials. It zooms in where you click, smooths your cursor, adds captions on your Mac and puts it all on a nice background. Screenshots get the same features.
👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Anas. I made Smooth Recorder because every time I recorded a product demo, recording was the easy part. The editing took an hour: zooming into clicks, hiding a shaky cursor, adding captions, and putting it on a background so it didn't look like a raw screen recording.
So I built an app that does all of that for you.
✨ Features:
• Auto Zoom – Zooms where you click and follows your cursor, so viewers can easily follow along.
• 3D Angles (new in v1.1) – Adds a subtle tilt during zooms for a more cinematic look.
• Smooth Cursor, Camera Bubble & Captions – Captions are generated on your Mac, and you can edit your video by simply deleting words from the transcript.
• Beautiful Screenshots – Press ⌥1, select an area, and it instantly lands on a wallpaper with a shadow, ready to share. Includes 76 wallpapers.
It's a native macOS app (built with SwiftUI, not a web app in a window).
💰 Early access: $9 one-time.
❌ No subscription.
❌ No account required.
I'd love to hear what you record with it and what features you'd like to see next. I read every reply. ❤️
