Auto-Polish pipeline
Zoom-to-click, cursor highlights, click rings, silence removal, noise reduction — one click.
Native Retina capture + Display P3 color
Records at your display's native pixel density with wide-gamut color preserved end-to-end. Text and UI stay sharp.
Lossless HEVC + ProRes 422 export
Pristine export presets for everything from web-optimized MP4 to ProRes for Final Cut, Premiere, and DaVinci handoff.
Window capture mode
Record just one app window — Demo Mode places it on a clean background with the rest of your desktop hidden.
Wallpaper backgrounds
macOS-style wallpapers, gradients, solid colors, or your own image. Cinematic look without any editing.
Animated webcam choreography
Webcam scales smoothly up when you present and shrinks when you demonstrate — attention shifts naturally between you and the content.
10 Scene Layouts
PiP corners, full-face, split, demo-left/right, content-only. Switch live with Option+1 through 0.
Content Cards
Title, bullet, stats, highlight, and CTA cards inserted with a hotkey during recording.
Callout Markers
Numbered step badges placed at your cursor with Cmd+Shift+C.
Vertical (9:16) export
One-click switch to TikTok / Reels / Shorts format. Zooms, cursor effects, and branding reflow automatically.
GIF export
Polished recordings as optimized GIFs for docs, Notion, GitHub READMEs, and Twitter.
Smoother auto-zoom
Easing curve tuned for buttery zoom motion, click-anticipation so the zoom feels like it read your mind, and a steady 60fps polish output.
iPhone recording (via iPhone Mirroring)
Capture your iPhone screen by recording the iPhone Mirroring window in macOS 15 Sequoia. All polish, branding, and export presets apply.

.simarecord Project Bundles
Re-open any recording later and re-polish with different settings. Nothing is lost.
Branding Kit
Logo watermark, lower-third name card, custom colors. On-brand by default.
Next
Director mode for window capture
Position your window anywhere on screen and the recording keeps it exactly there inside a 16:9 safe zone. Drop a webcam, content panel, or branding alongside it — no post-production reflow needed.
Next
Halo overlays
Configurable colored glow around your webcam and content panels — the look that makes YouTube tutorials feel produced. Pick a color, set the depth, done.
Soon
On-device captions
Apple Speech framework transcription. Burn subtitles into your video. Multi-language, fully local — nothing leaves your Mac.
Soon
Auto-hide idle cursor
When the cursor stops moving, it fades out smoothly. Pops back the moment you move it. Cleaner videos automatically.
Soon
Editor polish
Drag-to-reorder cards, undo/redo, per-segment effect toggles, and refined trim controls.
Filler word removal
Automatically detect and cut "um", "uh", and other filler words — like Descript, but on-device.
Auto-chapters
Generate YouTube chapter markers from natural breaks in your recording.
Multi-take recording
Re-record a section and splice it in. Keep the rest. No restart.
iPhone as webcam
Use Continuity Camera for a high-quality webcam input. Already in macOS, just need to wire it up.
Project library
A searchable history of all your .simarecord bundles inside the app.
Team licenses
Bulk discount for teams of 5+. Shared brand kits and templates.
Speech-driven editing
Say "scratch that" mid-recording and the previous sentence vanishes from the export. Say "next chapter" and a marker drops in. The transcript becomes the timeline.
Sensitive content auto-blur
On-device detection of emails, customer names, credit cards, Slack DMs. Anything that looks like PII gets blurred automatically — with a review pane so you can unblur per item.
Novice-viewer pacing
Generates a second export tuned for first-time viewers — automatically slows down the first time any new UI appears, lingers on novel buttons, adds eye-guidance highlights where attention should track. Expert demos finally legible to beginners.
Podcast-quality voice, automatically
EQ, compression, de-essing, room-reverb removal — the full mastering chain that podcast producers do by hand, run automatically. Your voice sounds like it was tracked into a Shure SM7B booth.
Cursor intent detection
Auto-zoom that reads the cursor's intent, not just its clicks. Aimless hovering gets cut. Deliberate slow motion gets emphasized. Direct paths stay fast. Recordings feel choreographed without ever being edited.
One take, every format
Record once. The app produces the YouTube cut, the 60-second X clip, the 9:16 TikTok with intelligent reframing, the optimized GIF, the Markdown blog draft, and the Notion embed. One source, every distribution channel.
Live recording coach
Subtle on-screen guidance while you record: mic levels too quiet, room reverb detected, click sounds from your keyboard, you've stayed on this screen 90 seconds and viewers will drop. Dismissable, never intrusive — treats screen recording as a skill you're building, not a button you press.
Look-me-in-the-eye webcam
On-device gaze redirection so your webcam appears to look directly at the viewer, even when you're reading the screen. The "FaceTime Eye Contact" idea, applied to every recording.
Speak the title, see the card
Say "now let's talk about pricing" — the app detects the phrase, drops in a styled chapter card with "Pricing" on-screen, and resumes the recording. Voice-controlled production.
