Description
Auto-polished screen recordings plus a real timeline editor, in one native app for Mac and Linux. Hit record, talk it through, and get a finished video: zooms that follow your clicks and typing, a smooth cursor and clean backgrounds. Your voice lands on its own track, so you can split it, trim the ums, move or mute it without touching the video. Export MP4, ProRes, GIF or WebM up to 4K. Written 100% in Rust, open source, GPU-rendered, free to record and edit.

Could you build this?
Partial While basic screen recording can be done easily, building a cross-platform (Mac & Linux) native desktop app with an auto-zooming cursor tracker, smooth interpolation, and a multi-track timeline video editor is complex systems work.
What it would actually take: Requires a native desktop application built with Swift/AppKit (Mac) and Wayland/X11 hooks (Linux), alongside a high-performance video engine using FFmpeg, Metal, and OpenGL/Vulkan for real-time rendering. The core difficulties are cross-platform low-latency screen/audio capture, tracking cursor events accurately across windowing systems, and building a responsive non-linear video editing timeline.
