Record. CursorClip polishes. Export.
Record
Capture your screen, camera, system audio and microphone. Use your Mac the way you normally would.
Polish
CursorClip adds the zooms, pans, background and framing while you record. Adjust anything afterwards if you want to.
Export
MP4, MOV or GIF, up to 4K at 60 fps. A license unlocks unlimited, watermark-free exports.
Everything between record and publish.
Three jobs a recording has to get through before it is worth sharing. CursorClip handles each one.
Make every recording easier to follow
CursorClip keeps the part of the screen you are working in front and center, so viewers never hunt for the cursor or squint at a menu. See how automatic focus works
Automatic zoom · Cursor tracking · Custom zoom frames · Cursor styles and click feedback
Fix things without becoming a video editor
Move or remove a zoom, trim a section, crop the frame, cut between screen and camera layouts, or change the background. No keyframes, and nothing you have to learn first.

CursorClip 2.0 · one year in
Less editing. More directing.
2.0 shipped one year after 1.0, and everyone who bought 1.x got it free.
Layouts and Smart Camera
Cut between screen, camera and both. Turn on Smart Camera and the camera bubble steps back from your cursor.
Notes teleprompter
Read your script from floating Notes while you record. It stays on your Mac, never in the export.
Saved Looks
Save your canvas, cursor, motion and camera style once, then make it the default for new recordings.
Crop after recording
Trim the recorded screen to the part that matters. Background, padding, corners and shadow stay applied.

Loved by people who ship
Founders, educators, and indie devs who switched, bought, and stayed.
The one time payment model is refreshing since I am sick of monthly subscriptions for simple tools. It makes the purchase feel like I actually own the software.
Glad to see a LTD screen studio alternative 👍. Much needed now that screen studio has moved to a subscription product
When builders are finally done creating their product, the last thing they want to do is mess around with hours of video editing for their demos. Edit free and professional is great!
nice, congrats on shipping cursorclip — cursor zoom + one-time pay is a pretty clean combo
CursorClip is exactly the kind of tool I was looking for to make my tutorials stand out. I’m really impressed with how lightweight and smooth the native Mac performance is.
Very useful for devs! Simple and Easy to use.
Such a minimal UX feels really fresh
With CursorClip, it’s basically: Press Record → Start Creating. That is a huge advantage.
Got the @cursorclip deal last week. Using it since then and loving it so far. It's so good and smooth, the best part is it's light weight.
great alternative for folks tried of constant subscription ....love the focus on simplicity and lifetime value .....really useful tool
Recently got @cursorclip. Really happy with the such a great product at this price point. 🚀
Congrats on the launch! A one-time payment for a powerful tool like this is a game-changer. Wishing you tons of success!
Clean, minimal screen recorders are underrated, good UX wins every time.
Clean solve for a real pain. Cursor zoom + click highlights should be built into every screen recorder. Good work.
CursorClip feels like a killer alternative to Screen Studio.
I’ve used OBS before. It’s powerful, but complicated and takes a long time to set up. CursorClip makes the process simple.
Native + lightweight is underrated. So many Mac apps feel like Electron skins now. Congrats on making this🙌🏼
Always appreciate a one-time purchase for software instead of another monthly bill
It’s really useful, saving me a lot of time.

Your Questions, Answered.
How much does CursorClip cost?
CursorClip is available for a one-time lifetime license at $70. Pay once to unlock all current features and ongoing improvements with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Click here to get CursorClip.
Is there a free trial?
CursorClip is free to download, record, and edit, with no account needed and no time limit. Exporting your finished video requires a license. Every paid plan carries a 14-day money-back guarantee, so you can buy, export a real video, and get a full refund if it is not right for you. See pricing.
Is there a Windows version?
CursorClip is built native for macOS and there is no Windows version planned. On Windows, OBS is a solid free pick for screen recording.
Is it CursorClip or Cursor Clip?
Both spellings refer to the exact same macOS screen recorder. CursorClip is the official brand name; we occasionally write it as "Cursor Clip" in guides, but it's always the same app.
Is this really a one-time purchase?
Yes! Pay once and get all current features and future improvements to them, yours for life. If we ever add major new services (like cloud hosting), those would be optional add-ons, but the core recorder you buy today is yours forever.
What is your refund policy?
We offer a 14-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If you're not happy for any reason, email support@cursorclip.com and we’ll process it promptly. If you prefer X, message us at @cursorclip.
Have something to show?
Record it normally. CursorClip makes it look polished. Own it for $70, or start with a plan.
