Smooth Recorder - 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. ❤️

Excited to hunt Smooth Recorder today.

Lately, I’ve been making more tutorials, so I’ve tried quite a few screen recording tools on Mac, including Screen Studio. Smooth Recorder genuinely holds its own against them and in a few areas, I actually prefer it.

What stands out:

• Automatic zooms + smooth cursor: Recordings already look edited when you hit stop.
• Transcript editing: Edit the video by editing the text, and remove filler words or long pauses in one click.
• More than video: Screenshots, scrolling captures, GIFs, text extraction, and smart redaction are all built in.
• Native + private: It’s a real macOS app, and captions, OCR, and redaction all happen locally on your Mac.

A seriously polished tool for anyone creating demos, tutorials, or product content on Mac.

Great job with this ! I love the auto detection and blurring of sensitive details feature.

 Thanks Rakesh : )

Glad you like Smart Redact. No more blurring emails and API keys by hand before sharing a screenshot.

Any plans to include Windows and cover a bigger market? :)

Thanks Nika. Yes, Windows is on the roadmap : )

For now I am focused on making the Mac version great. I'll share it here when it's ready.
