About Screenforge

Screenforge is a desktop screen recorder and editor aimed at people who ship demos quickly. It analyzes cursor movement to spot the busiest parts of a recording and adds zoom clips there automatically, with magnification from 1x to 4x, a cursor-following mode and smooth easing. Zoom clips live on their own track, so they can be moved, resized or deleted without touching the recording.

Cursor effects include click ripples, resizing, motion blur and tilt, and hiding the cursor when idle. Recordings can sit on seven wallpapers or solid colors with padding, rounded corners and a drop shadow, and can be cropped with eight-point handles. A camera overlay stays visible as content zooms, the timeline splits, trims and rearranges non-destructively with 100-step undo, and microphone input plus window and region capture are supported. The site says exports carry no watermark and no subscription is needed to remove one, and describes the app as free.
