## About

SmoothCapture is a native Mac app for making app demo videos. Record your Mac screen, a single window, a USB-connected iPhone or iPad, or the iOS Simulator. Every take comes back with automatic zooms that follow your clicks and typing, a smoothed cursor and click effects.

One click puts the recording on a real 3D iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Studio Display or Apple Watch, with studio lighting and camera moves. Animated titles, editable motion graphics, captions in 25 languages, music with automatic ducking and AI narration all sit on one multi-clip timeline. Export MP4, ProRes with transparency, GIF or App Store preview sizes, up to 4K at 60 fps. A built-in MCP server lets Claude Code, Codex and Cursor record, edit and export a video for you.

Free to download, record and edit. Exporting needs a license: pay once from $49, or $10 a month.
