What is Screen Charm?
Screen Charm is a macOS screen recorder for Apple Silicon Macs for creating polished product demos, tutorials, and launch videos — without complicated editing. It automatically adds zoom effects, motion blur, and cursor smoothing after every recording.
What does Screen Charm do?
Screen Charm replaces the need for a separate screen recorder and video editor on Mac. Instead of recording a raw file and spending hours in editing software, you record once and Screen Charm handles the polish automatically.
Automatic zoom
Screen Charm detects every click and automatically applies smooth zoom effects after you finish recording. No manual keyframing needed.
Motion blur
Fast cursor movements and zoom transitions get natural motion blur added automatically, so recordings feel cinematic instead of choppy.
Camera overlay
Record your camera alongside your screen. Reposition and resize the camera feed to fit your layout without any extra setup.
System audio recording
Capture your microphone and internal Mac audio in the same recording with no virtual driver installation required.
Background music
Add background music to your recording directly inside the app. No external audio editor needed.
Built-in editor
Trim clips, adjust speed, edit zoom effects, apply cursor smoothing, change backgrounds, and add device frames — all inside Screen Charm.
4K export
Export your finished video as an MP4 in up to 4K UHD quality. Or skip the file and share with a cloud link in one click.
Cursor effects
Smooth your cursor path automatically and add click highlight ripples so viewers always know where to look.
Beautiful backgrounds
Wrap your recording in a gradient, solid color, or photo. Match your brand or choose something that looks great on its own.
Mic noise reduction
One toggle removes background hiss, keyboard clicks, and room noise from your microphone track.
