SmoothCut
For macOS and Windows

Beautiful screen recordings in minutes.

Record your screen. SmoothCut adds the zooms, cursor motion and webcam layouts that make a product demo look produced, without a video editor.

All downloads and install steps

A SmoothCut export: a desktop app recording with a webcam bubble, auto-zoom and a soft background

What it does

The polish is automatic. The control is yours.

The SmoothCut editor: preview, layout inspector and timeline

Zooms that follow your cursor

Automatic zooms track where you are working, with adjustable depth, duration and easing. Take over by hand whenever you want the shot framed exactly.

Cursor motion that reads as intentional

Path smoothing, click effects, custom size and cursor themes. A recorded mouse looks like a demo, not a screen capture.

Webcam that fits the layout

Picture-in-picture, dual frame, vertical stack or fullscreen. Drag to position, mirror, choose a shape. Switch layouts on the timeline.

Backgrounds

Wallpapers, solid colours, gradients or your own image, with padding, border and shadow.

Motion blur

Fast pans and zooms stay smooth instead of stepping.

Captions, on-device

Voiceover captions generated locally. Nothing is uploaded; it works on a plane.

Timeline editing

Crop, trim, per-segment speed, snapping guides and an audio waveform.

Annotations

Text, arrows and images with animation presets.

Export anywhere

MP4 or GIF, any aspect ratio, up to 4K. Vertical for Shorts, square for a feed.

Mic and system audio

Record both, separately, and balance them later.

Keyboard first

Every shortcut is rebindable.

13 languages

English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Chinese and more.

How it works

Three steps, one sitting.

01

Record

Pick a window or the whole screen. Mic, system audio and webcam if you want them.

02

Adjust

Zooms and cursor motion are already in place. Trim, add a caption, move the webcam.

03

Export

MP4 or GIF in the size the destination wants. Done in the time it took to record.

Local first

Your recordings are yours. So is the app.

Nothing leaves your machine

Recording, editing, captions and export all run locally. There is no upload step and no cloud render queue.

Works offline, indefinitely in practice

Your licence is verified on the device. Check-ins are silent and only need the network every couple of weeks, with a month of grace on top.

One purchase

Buy it once and keep it. A licence that needs the network every day is a subscription in disguise, so ours does not.

Fast on the machine you have

Rendering happens on your GPU, so a five-minute walkthrough exports in the time it takes to make a coffee.

Your next demo, done today.

One purchase. No subscription. Yours to keep.
