Get CursorFocus — $79 one-timeThe short answer
CursorFocus is a screen recorder for Mac that was built to solve one specific problem: screen recordings look raw and hard to follow, but polishing them in a video editor takes too long.
CursorFocus solves this by automating the two things that matter most for screen recording quality: zoom effects and cursor clarity. Every time you click during a recording, the app can generate a smooth zoom-in segment automatically. You can resize the cursor and highlight clicks. The result looks like a manually edited video — without a full NLE.
What CursorFocus actually does
Auto-zoom on every click
CursorFocus monitors mouse clicks during a recording. After recording, it can apply smooth zoom segments to each click. Edit amount, timing, and cursor-follow — or remove segments entirely.
Cursor size & click highlights
Adjust cursor size after capture and turn on click highlights so fast UI demos stay easy to follow.
Webcam layouts
Record your webcam alongside the screen. Use Default overlay or pin left, right, top, or bottom. Circle or rectangle, mirror, shadow, and optional camera background blur.
Canvas & backgrounds
Replace a raw desktop look with wallpaper, gradient, or solid color. Add padding, rounded corners, and shadow for a presentation-ready frame.
Keyboard, text & masks
Show keystrokes as an overlay, place text on the timeline, and use pixelate or spotlight masks to hide sensitive UI or highlight focus.
Background music library
Add a built-in track or import your own audio. Control music volume alongside mic and system tracks.
4K / 60 fps MP4 export
Export as a local MP4 (Source / 720p / 1080p / 4K at 30 or 60 fps). No built-in cloud share link or app GIF export. Files stay on your Mac until you upload them yourself.
Speed control and trim
Trim dead air and change clip speed from 0.25× to 4× in the built-in timeline editor. Save projects as local .CursorFocus bundles.
Who uses CursorFocus?
CursorFocus is used by anyone on Apple Silicon Mac who records their screen and wants the output to look good without spending hours in a video editor:
- Developers recording product demos for landing pages and Product Hunt
- Online course creators producing tutorials for Udemy, Teachable, and Gumroad
- SaaS teams creating customer demos and support walkthroughs
- YouTubers making tutorial and software review videos
- Teachers creating instructional content for students
- Startup founders recording investor demos and feature announcements
How is CursorFocus different from other screen recorders?
Most screen recorders — QuickTime, OBS, Zoom — record raw video. To make the output look polished, you have to import it into a video editor and manually add zoom effects, cursor polish, music, and framing. That process can take hours.
CursorFocus automates those steps. Zoom segments come from click data. Click highlights and cursor sizing help viewers follow the pointer. Backgrounds, overlays, music, and masks live in the same app. The workflow is: record, review, export.
