## Detailed info

## What is SmoothRecorder?

SmoothRecorder is a native Mac screen recorder, screenshot tool, and video editor for macOS 15 or later. It records desktop demos with auto-zoom on clicks, text-based video cuts, and Smart Redact without a subscription.

## What SmoothRecorder does

The app records an area, a window, or the whole screen with camera, microphone, and Mac system audio. When recording stops, Studio opens with auto-zoom that follows clicks, smooth cursor motion, and 3D zoom angles. Users cut video by editing words in the transcript: deleting a word cuts the video, and filler words or pauses disappear in one click. The editor includes tools to trim ends, split at the playhead, and speed parts up to 8x. The app also captures screenshots, scrolling pages, and recognized text. Smart Redact finds and covers faces, emails, phone numbers, cards, API keys, and IP addresses. Recordings export as MP4 or MOV files in H.264 or HEVC at 30 or 60 fps, or as GIFs up to 24 fps.

## Who SmoothRecorder is for

It is built for Mac users, creators, and teams on macOS 15 or later who record product demos, capture screenshots, and export GIFs without recurring subscription fees.

## How SmoothRecorder works

Users press a shortcut key to pick an area, window, or screen to record with camera and audio. When stopped from the notch, Studio opens with automatic zooms and captions made on the Mac. Users edit transcript words or redact sensitive details before exporting MP4, MOV, or GIF files.
