## Detailed info

## What is SmoothCapture?

SmoothCapture is a native macOS application for recording, editing, and styling software demo videos and screen captures.

## What SmoothCapture does

The application records Mac displays, specific windows, custom screen regions, connected iPhones and iPads over USB, and iOS Simulator sessions. It provides an editing timeline with clip trimming, speed controls, auto-zoom that follows clicks and typing from 1.2x to 10x, 3D device mockup frames with camera tilt controls, and on-device automatic transcription for captions. Finished projects export to MP4, MOV, GIF, or transparent ProRes, and can be published straight to Cloudflare R2 or AWS S3.
