Read the full description
Framecast is a native Mac screen recorder that edits itself. It knows what you clicked, so each zoom frames the button or dialog, not just the cursor. Fluff a line? Press ⌥⌘O and the bad take is cut. It spots API keys, emails and card numbers on screen and blurs them. One take becomes a video, a 9:16 clip, a step-by-step guide or a click-through demo. Plus camera bubble, captions in any language, share links, 4K60 and GIF. All on your Mac, no account. Free to try, pay once.

Partial The editing UI and export are buildable, but a native macOS screen recorder with click-aware auto-zoom and on-screen sensitive-data detection needs system-level capture APIs and computer vision that vibe coding alone won't reliably produce.
What it would actually take: Build a native Swift/AppKit app on ScreenCaptureKit and the Accessibility API to capture screen frames and record click and UI-element positions. Add a timeline editor that uses those events for zoom keyframes, and OCR (Apple Vision) plus pattern matching or a small on-device model to detect and blur API keys, emails and card numbers. The hard parts are reliable low-overhead capture, accurate UI-element framing, and robust PII detection, which call for macOS graphics and computer-vision experience.
