Glideo's premise is a camera that edits for you: it watches what you do on screen and zooms the way a human editor would. Until now it mostly followed clicks. 0.4.0 teaches it everything between the clicks.
It now frames the actual button or field you clicked (read through Accessibility), treats a text selection as one held shot instead of a jump per repaint, frames a menu instead of the tiny X that closes it, zooms where your cursor lingers or where the screen changes on its own, and opens back to the full frame when you scroll, because scrolling means you've moved on. When it still picks the wrong shot, the new reframe tool gives you the wheel: a yellow frame tracks any zoom, you drag or resize it, and every adjustment becomes an editable keyframe. One right-click brings the automatic camera back.
does the auto-zoom actually work well on high-DPI retina screens, or does it get a bit confused when you're moving between multiple windows quickly?
How does the auto-zoom actually decide when and where to zoom in, especially if the click is on a tiny icon or a menu item?
How does the auto-zoom actually handle really fast clicking or dragging across the screen without making the video feel jittery?
Finally a mac recorder that follows my clicks without me babysitting keyframes, did a Loom-style demo in like two minutes. Surprised something this clean is free with no watermark.
finally a screen recorder that gets the auto zoom right without making me fiddle with keyframes. zoomed right to where i clicked, smooth and clean. solid for product demos
finally a free screen recorder that does the smart zoom thing without making me sign up for anything, the auto follow on clicks actually feels smooth and not janky like the other tools i tried
The click-tracking zoom is genuinely clever, especially how it stays smooth without manual tweaking. Nice to see a macOS-native recorder that respects the platform instead of bolting on a clunky web wrapper.
