What it does

A recorder built for clear demos.

Flexible audio capture

Choose microphone audio, system audio, both sources together, or silent screen recording depending on the project.

SmartFocus exports

Mouse activity can guide a temporary zoom into the active area, then return smoothly to the full recording.

Local subtitles

Optional VTT subtitle files can be generated after recording using the bundled local Whisper workflow.

Privacy first

Your recordings stay under your control.

SmartRecord is designed around local files. Screen content, microphone audio, system audio, exports, and generated subtitles are processed on your Mac and are not uploaded to a SmartRecord server.
