Description
Caplo records your Mac screen and keeps track of every click and cursor move. When you stop, the editor opens with zooms already placed where you clicked, and the view follows your cursor while zoomed in. Each zoom is a clip on the timeline, so you can move it, resize it or delete it. You can also restyle the cursor, add captions transcribed on your Mac, blur sensitive areas, and export MP4, ProRes or GIF up to 4K. Free for personal use, and nothing gets uploaded.

Could you build this?
Partial Building an electron app or basic timeline editor is manageable, but native macOS screen capture with global event tap tracking and smooth video transformation post-processing requires deeper desktop systems programming.
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/macOS development using ScreenCaptureKit and CGEvent tap listeners with accessibility permissions to record timestamped mouse coordinates. The editing engine must render and re-encode high-resolution video frames with dynamic camera easing transforms using AVFoundation or Metal. Solo vibe coding struggles heavily with low-level macOS accessibility permissions, hardware-accelerated video rendering, and smooth timeline playback.
