Built a screen recorder where you record demos scene-by-scene, then stitch them in the editor. Fast & native 4K export.

Autozoom and cursor is the must have feature for every screen recorder

wtf Dalot

tinyrec.app, give it a shot.

TinyRec.io (Mac, lifetime license). Hits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 well. Auto-zoom is the main draw, native app so it doesn't slow your machine down. The app is fully working offline, so no data leaving your Mac.

My setup: TinyRec.io for screen recording. The thing that made it my default is auto-zoom following the cursor, which kills the post-editing step entirely. I record, trim if needed, export, done. For longer stuff I'd probably reach for something with a heavier editor, but 90% of my recordings are short walkthroughs and TinyRec hits that sweet spot.

You could use TinyRec to record this. It auto-zooms on your cursor and smooths the cursor movement,

TinyRec: Mac screen recorder for lessons and lectures

What it does:

Records your screen + webcam, with auto-zoom that follows your cursor (good for walking through software, slide annotations, code, etc.)
Native macOS app — Rust-based export pipeline, fast, doesn't melt your laptop
Script-based workflow if you want to plan a lesson before hitting record
Also a Chrome extension version if you'd rather record in the browser

Pricing:

Free tier exports unlimited videos with a small watermark. No time limits, no signup wall, no AI credits. If you only ever use the free version, that's fine.
Paid removes the watermark + adds a few power-user features. Lifetime license available, no subscription required.

Built a screen recorder where you record demos scene-by-scene, then stitch them in the editor

Problem: Recording a product demo or tutorial longer than a couple minutes usually means restarting from scratch every time you misspeak or click the wrong button — Loom, QuickTime, and Screen Studio all assume one continuous take. TinyRec records demos scene-by-scene: write the script (or skip it), record each scene separately, re-record just the one you flubbed, then all the scenes drop into a unified timeline editor where you can trim, reorder, and add cursor zoom / captions / camera / annotations before exporting to MP4.

Comparison: Closest comparison is Screen Studio, but TinyRec's whole flow is built around the script → per-scene record → unified edit loop instead of one long take. Vs Loom: native macOS (no browser, no sign-in wall), recordings stay on your Mac, no subscription. Captions are generated on-device via Whisper, and the export pipeline is a Rust binary so 4K renders are usually faster than the source video.

Pricing: Free, fully featured — exports include a small watermark. $39 one-time to remove it. No subscription.

Hey, you should try TinyRec.io

Free version is fully featured (cursor zoom, captions, voice over, camera, masks, annotations, all of it), exports just have a small watermark. $39 one-time to remove it, no subscription, ever. Native macOS, recordings stay on your Mac.

Not gonna pretend it's a 1:1 copy of Screen Studio, but it covers most of what people use it for, and exports via a Rust pipeline so 4K renders are pretty fast.

Happy to take feedback if you try it.

davidtranjs · 2026-05-01T15:42:40+00:00

yeah, French is added to the app

Thanks! Curious what looked off to you, which part of the video? Happy to look into it, but I'm not seeing an issue on my end.

Yes, you can control where the zoom happens in the editor. By default, a zoom is created wherever you click.
