Every click, zoomed in for you
⌘ E

Click anywhere in the window — the camera follows.

Zoom & motion

It follows every click.

RecGlow watches where you click while you record, then zooms in on those moments with eased, camera-like moves. You can add, move or delete any zoom on the timeline.

Automatic zoom

Zooms in where you clicked, and eases back out when you move on.

Smooth cursor

Shaky mouse paths become a steady glide, with a soft ripple on every click.

Motion blur

Fast pans and cursor moves pick up a natural blur, like footage from a real camera.

Loupe

A magnifier that follows the cursor when you need a closer look without moving the frame.

Every format

One take. Every feed.

Switch between wide, square and vertical after you record. In vertical, RecGlow crops in and follows your cursor, so text stays big enough to read on a phone. Captions and your camera move out of the way on their own.

Camera

You, on screen — the way you like.

Your webcam is recorded separately, so you can change how it looks after the fact.

Mirror before you record

Flip the preview to mirrored or true-to-life while you set up. The export matches what you saw.

Layouts that animate

Corner overlay, side-by-side, cutout or full screen, with smooth transitions between them.

Hides when you're quiet

When you stop talking, the camera steps aside and comes back when you speak.

Looks & face tracking

Fourteen color looks, sharpening, and a frame that stays centered on your face.

Captions

Captions in your language.

Speech is turned into captions on your Mac, in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Pick a style, fix any word inline, and export an .srt that matches the edited video.

Every click, zoomed in for you

Backgrounds

A hundred backgrounds, built in.

Curves, landscapes, fluid art and 3D shapes in 5K, plus twenty gradients and two dozen solid colors. Star the ones you love and they're always first.

Recording

Ready when you are.

Display, window or area

Record what matters, with your camera, microphone and Mac audio.

Pause & global shortcuts

Start, stop or pause from anywhere without reaching for the toolbar.

Never lose a take

Your recording is written to disk every two seconds. If the app quits or the power goes, it's recovered.

Shortcuts on screen

The key combos you press appear as a small badge, so viewers can follow along.

Separate voice & Mac audio

Microphone and system sound are separate tracks. Mute or level each one.

Speaker notes

Your talking points stay on screen while you record, and out of the video.

Privacy

Everything stays on your Mac.

No account. No uploads. Recording, captions, voice cleanup, face tracking and export all run on your Mac, and RecGlow works fully offline.

Native

Made for Mac, and nothing else.

Written in Swift on ScreenCaptureKit, Core Image and Metal. It launches fast, stays light while you record, and updates itself.

Make your next demo glow.

RecGlow is free while it's in beta.
