## About

Smooth Recorder is a native macOS screen recorder that turns a recording into a finished demo without manual editing. Every click becomes a zoom automatically, the cursor is smoothed into one path, and speech becomes word-by-word captions you can cut by deleting text. It also handles webcam layouts, keystrokes on screen, reframing for 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5, and export to MP4, MOV or GIF at up to 60 fps.

Beyond recording, it covers screenshots with wallpapers, padding and annotations, plus scrolling screenshots, GIF capture and copying text from the screen. Smart Redact finds and blurs faces, emails, phone numbers, cards, API keys and amounts. Captions, text recognition and redaction run on the Mac, with nothing uploaded.

It is a one-time purchase for macOS 15 and later, aimed at makers and teams that need clean product demos, docs and launch clips without a subscription.

## The problem

Making a demo video on a Mac usually means recording first and then spending time in an editor to add zooms, fix the cursor and write captions.

## The solution

Smooth Recorder adds zoom on every click, smooths the cursor and generates captions automatically, then lets you cut by editing caption text and export already edited.

## What makes it different

It is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription and combines screen recording with screenshots, scrolling capture and on-device redaction in one Mac app.

## Who it's for

Indie makers, founders and content creators who need polished Mac product demos and screenshots without a video editor.
