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.
The auto zoom that follows my clicks actually works really smoothly, way less tedious than keyframing everything in Final Cut. Already exported a polished demo for a teammate in under five minutes.
Took it for a spin on a quick walkthrough of a new feature and the auto-zoom on my clicks honestly looks better than what I've gotten from paid tools. Clean output, no watermark, and it didn't choke on a 10 minute recording.
The automatic zoom that follows the cursor is genuinely impressive, it makes my demos look so much more polished without any extra effort. Solid free option for Mac users.
The auto zoom following my clicks actually feels intentional instead of gimmicky, which is rare for free tools. Exported a quick demo in a couple minutes with zero fiddling.

I've been looking for a simple way to create cleaner product demos without spending hours editing, and Glideo looks like a really interesting approach. The automatic zooming and click tracking seem like they could make screen recordings much more engaging while keeping the workflow simple.
I'm actually preparing for my own upcoming Product Hunt launch, so I'll likely be giving Glideo a try for our demo video. Looking forward to seeing how it performs in practice. Congrats on the launch, and best of luck today!
Finally tried Glideo on a quick demo and the click-following zoom actually works like they say, no fiddling with keyframes. Solid free option compared to other recorders that gate that behind a paywall.
the auto zoom actually follows my clicks without me fiddling with anything, which is rare for a free tool. exported a quick demo in like two minutes, looked way cleaner than i expected.
