About CursorClip
CursorClip is a native Mac screen recorder for demos, tutorials, and walkthroughs. You record as usual, and the app adds smooth zooms and pans that follow the cursor, so recordings are easier to follow without a manual editing pass. It can capture the screen, camera, system audio, and microphone, and runs on macOS 13.5 or later.
After recording you can shift or delete a zoom, cut a segment, crop, and adjust backgrounds and framing, with cursor styles and click feedback available. Exports are MP4, MOV, or GIF at up to 4K and 60 frames per second. The app is free to download, record, and edit, and a paid license unlocks unlimited exports without a watermark. The vendor lists a lifetime license and a 14-day money-back guarantee.
