Zoomcast

Record first, decide later.

SHIPPED

A macOS screen recorder that captures a clean take first and adds the polish afterwards. Background, custom cursor, click ripples and auto zoom are rendered from a recorded timeline, so every effect stays editable until you export.

The problem

Screen recorders bake the cursor, the zoom and the background into the pixels while you record. One wrong zoom and the take is a retake.

The solution

The capture stays raw. Cursor positions, clicks and window frames go to a separate timeline, and the editor renders every effect from it, so you can change your mind, not your recording.
