Hi everyone, I'm Sohaib Ali, and with a small team at TOPSOL in Faisalabad, Pakistan, I make Lens, a screen recorder for Mac. What inspired it We kept recording walkthroughs for clients and teammates, and they kept asking "wait, what did you click?" A plain screen recording shows the whole display, so the button, the cell, the line of code you're talking about is tiny. The apps that fix this looked great but cost more every year, or sent every recording to their cloud. We wanted a recorder that made the video easy to follow and stayed on our own Mac. The problem we set out to solve Make the camera work automatic. When you record with Lens, it zooms to where you click, smooths the cursor, and settles back when you pause, without you editing anything. If you want to change a shot, there's a timeline. Captions are generated on the Mac. You can add a background, a webcam bubble, music or a voice-over, and export for a landing page, a tutorial, or a social post. It also records an iPhone app through iPhone Mirroring, with a device frame. How it changed along the way We started with just recording and automatic zoom. The first people who tried it asked how to send the result to someone, so version 1.0.4 added shareable links: choose "Create link" after an export, and you get a page anyone can watch. Everything before that step still stays on your Mac. Early users recorded iPhone apps by pointing a camera at the phone, so we added iPhone Mirroring capture and device frames. We went back and forth on pricing and landed on one rule: every plan is the full app. $9.99 a month, $59.99 a year, or $99 once for a lifetime licence. No feature locked behind a higher tier. It's free for 7 days with no account and no card. Trial exports carry a watermark, and that's the only difference from paid. Product Hunt offer: code FXHOJB7B2W gives 30% off any plan until 17 November 2026. We're small, so your feedback goes straight into the next version. What do you record most, and what gets in the way? I'll be here all day.
