SmoothCast — Untitled Recording
[ your screen capture ]
AUTO-ZOOM
Loved by makers, developers & designers
Features

Everything a great screencast needs — automatic

Built entirely with native Apple frameworks. No Electron, no third-party dependencies — just fast, lightweight, and beautiful by default.

Automatic zoom & pan

It follows the action and zooms in where it matters — no manual keyframing, ever.

Buttery-smooth cursor

Your real cursor is swapped for a synthetic, smoothed one — with satisfying click ripples.

Studio-quality backgrounds

Padding, rounded corners, shadow, and aspect-ratio presets make any capture look designed.

Screen, window, mic & webcam

Record the full screen or a single window, with optional microphone and a webcam bubble.

On-device captions

Automatic transcription runs entirely on your Mac. No cloud, no uploads, no waiting.

Native & lightweight

Apple Silicon native with a menu-bar app and a draggable floating control bar. Tiny download, zero bloat.

How it works

From messy capture to polished clip in three steps

1

Hit record

Pick a screen or a single window from the menu bar, add mic or webcam if you like, and go.

2

SmoothCast auto-edits

It zooms into the action, smooths the cursor, and drops your capture onto a styled background — automatically.

3

Tweak & export

Adjust anything you want, then export a crisp MP4 or GIF ready for docs, demos, and social.

The difference

Editable, never baked in

Zoom, cursor style, background, padding, and speed aren't burned into your video — they're re-rendered from your original recording. Change your mind a week later? Re-open, adjust, and re-export. Same source, brand-new look.
