Record your screen, then edit it on a timeline that shows where something happens and where nothing does, so the slow parts can be squeezed or cut in one go. Add a magnifier, focus, arrows and counters to recordings and screenshots, and copy text from any part of the screen. Recording, editing, screenshots and text recognition are free and open source, for macOS and Windows. Ruler, Annotate, Glide and References are paid tools, each free for 14 days.

Could you build this?
Partial The timeline editor, annotations and OCR are vibe-codeable, but a polished cross-platform screen recorder needs native OS capture, overlay and hotkey work that is hard to get right without systems expertise.
What it would actually take: Expect a desktop app (Electron or Tauri, or native per OS) with native screen-capture APIs (ScreenCaptureKit on macOS, Windows Graphics Capture) and an efficient video pipeline (FFmpeg). Frame-level analysis for the timeline 'skip dead time' feature needs motion or change detection. Real-time magnifier overlays and OCR on arbitrary screen regions require OS-level accessibility or vision APIs and careful performance tuning.
