Description
Kapshot is a screen recorder for people who need polished product demos, tutorials, and videos, without spending time editing them. Instead of recording your screen and then opening a video editor to add zooms, fix the cursor, and frame every interaction, Kapshot does the polish automatically while you record.

Could you build this?
Partial Creating a desktop recording app with real-time cursor tracking, automatic zoom heuristics, spring physics smoothing, and video re-encoding requires deep native macOS multimedia programming.
What it would actually take: A production version requires Swift/Objective-C leveraging macOS ScreenCaptureKit and CoreGraphics to capture display frames alongside synchronized low-level mouse coordinate streams. The system must run smoothing algorithms (like spring mass-damper physics) over cursor coordinates, dynamically compute viewport zoom bounding boxes around click events, and render the final composite video via AVFoundation and Metal hardware acceleration.
