ZoomCap is an opinionated screen recorder that edits your video for you.
It zooms in where you click, redraws your cursor in smooth 60fps, captures system audio natively — and exports on your machine. Nothing uploaded, ever.

One click. It zoomed in on its own.
Recorded, zoomed, and exported with ZoomCap — untouched by any other editor.
Product demo — auto-zoomed
Terminal walkthrough — typing zoom
Feature clip — exported vertical
Viewers can't read a 4K screen squeezed into a tweet. ZoomCap zooms in on the action for them — especially on small screens.
To keep the focus on the action, ZoomCap zooms in on the things you do — every click and burst of typing becomes a smooth, cinematic zoom. No keyframes, no timeline work.
Start typing and ZoomCap glides in to where the text appears, holds while you write, and releases when you pause.
Want a different moment? Add, re-aim, or delete any zoom in the editor. ZoomCap animates it for you either way.
All the heavy lifting is automatic. You drag, it animates — no manual work required.
Your raw cursor is jittery and tiny. ZoomCap re-renders it entirely at export — so every movement looks deliberate.
The real path of your pointer, redrawn in buttery 60fps. Shaky hand in, steady glide out.
Recorded with a tiny cursor? Scale it up in the editor — it's re-rendered, not stretched, so it stays razor sharp.
Swap the pointer style and colour after the fact. Your recording, your cursor.
Every click gets a ripple and a satisfying sound — so viewers always know what just happened.
A raw screen recording looks like a screen recording. Thirty seconds in the editor makes it look like a launch video.
Put your recording on a stage — gradients, patterns, and spacing that make any app look expensive. macOS window frame included.
Export widescreen for YouTube or vertical for Shorts and Reels — crop and framing adjust to the format.
Drop the fumbled start, the dead air, the wrong tab. Trim right on the timeline.
Long install? Slow build? Speed through it and keep the video tight.
Built on Apple’s native capture engine — 60fps recording with system audio, no virtual drivers, no kernel extensions.
What your Mac plays and what you say, in sync. No Soundflower, no second take.
Encoding runs faster than real time, in the background — switch tabs, it keeps going.
Recording, editing, and encoding all happen on your machine. There is no server to trust.
It’s the reason this category exists. We built ZoomCap for the people who’d rather not install an app to make one video.

Cmd+Shift+5, QuickTime, OBS, the terminal, and paid recorders — what each one can and can't do, and which to use for tutorials, bug reports, and product demos.
Guide
QuickTime and Cmd+Shift+5 only capture your mic — not the audio your Mac is playing. The four real ways to record system audio on macOS, from free virtual drivers to tools that just do it.
No. One terminal command runs the recorder without installing an app, and the editor opens in your browser. Prefer to skip the terminal? Record straight from the browser instead. See the download page for the exact steps.
While you record, ZoomCap tracks when you click and when you type. Those moments are clustered into smooth zooms that hold while you work and release when you pause — and you can re-aim or delete any of them in the editor.
Only their timing — never which keys. Keystroke timestamps drive the typing zoom; no key codes are captured or written to disk, so a recording can't leak what you typed.
Your machine, and nowhere else. The CLI saves to ~/Movies/ZoomCap and hands the file to the editor over localhost. Editing and encoding happen in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and there's no render queue.
The CLI is macOS 15+ (that's where native 60fps capture with system audio lives). The browser recorder works anywhere Chrome runs. Windows support is on the roadmap.
Yes. Your recordings are yours — product demos, tutorials, launch videos, client work. No restrictions, no watermark on paid plans.
H.264 MP4, encoded locally in your browser — the compatibility-first format for demos, downloads, and platform uploads. Keep that as your master; add WebM or a vertical cut only when the destination needs it.
