Screen recorder for macOS

Record your screen.Get a polished video.

Record normally. Kapshot automatically zooms into clicks, smooths your cursor, and frames every shot, so your recording looks edited without a timeline.

60 fps capture

Fast scrolls and animations stay fluid.

Auto-zoom

Moves in on every click, automatically.

Cursor smoothing

A shaky hand, a steady result.

One-click export

From recording to shareable video.

“$19 lifetime is cheap for what editing zooms and cursor framing manually costs in hours.”

Cursor

A cursor thatactually looks good.

Kapshot replaces your real cursor with a clean, smooth one that glides instead of jittering. Choose the size, toggle click animations, and add ripples that show exactly where you clicked.

Auto-zoom

Zoom inwhere it matters.

When you click something, Kapshot zooms in on that area so viewers don't miss it. Rapid clicks in the same spot become one smooth zoom instead of jarring jumps.

Your recording floats on a customizable canvas: pick a styled background or your own image, with padding, rounded corners and drop shadows. It looks like a product demo, not a raw screen grab.

Before you download.

The questions people ask most: what it costs, where your data goes, and which Macs it runs on.

Nowhere. Everything stays on your Mac. Recording, editing, and exporting all happen locally. No data is sent to any server.

Launch Kapshot from your Applications folder. A minimal capture bar appears at the top of your screen, ready to record.

No. The recording dock hides itself and is never captured in the video. It stays out of your way while you present.

Not at all. Use what you need: cursor smoothing, auto-zoom, backgrounds, or just record and export. Every feature is optional.

Yes. If Kapshot doesn’t fit how you work, email within 14 days of purchase and we’ll refund it, no questions asked.

No. It’s a one-time purchase. Pay once, use it forever, and get all future updates included.

Make your screen
recordings look good.

Auto-zoom, cursor smoothing, styled backgrounds, built-in editor, one-click export. All in one app.
