Auto zoom on clicks
MotionShine notes every click while you record, then zooms in on what you clicked and eases back out. No keyframes.
Screen recorder for Mac
Record your screen. It zooms and glides for you.
MotionShine is a Mac screen recorder with a built-in editor. It adds smooth cursor movement and zoom animations automatically, so your demos, tutorials and social clips look polished with no manual editing.

Before and after
The same recording. A very different result.
On the left, a plain screen capture. On the right, the same take after MotionShine adds zooms, a smooth cursor and a clean background.

Auto zoom
Any shape
Record once. Fit every place you post.
Choose the shape of the final video: widescreen for YouTube and docs, square for feeds, vertical for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
Key features
Everything a good demo needs, nothing it does not.
Smooth cursor
The real cursor is hidden while you record and redrawn afterwards with spring motion, so it glides instead of jumping.
Backgrounds and padding
Put the screen on a wallpaper, gradient or colour, with padding, rounded corners and a soft shadow.
Webcam and mic
Add your face in a bubble and your voice from the microphone you choose, with noise reduction for the room.
Quick export presets
Export for social, docs or the web in one step, as MP4 or GIF, with captions as separate files if you want them.
Stays on your Mac
Recordings and edits are processed on your computer. Nothing is uploaded unless you share it yourself.
Who it is for
Made for people who show their work on a screen.
Designers
Walk through a prototype or hand off a build with a recording that looks as careful as the design.
Founders
Record product demos for your landing page, investors or customers without hiring an editor.
Creators
Make tutorials, walkthroughs and short social clips that hold attention from the first second.
Educators
Turn lessons and how-to guides into clear videos where students can always see what you click.

Questions
Quick answers
Is it a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time payment. You keep it, and updates are included.
What do I get for free?
Core recording with auto zoom and a smooth cursor, plus basic export. Free exports may carry a watermark. Pro removes it and unlocks the advanced features.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac with macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple silicon or Intel. See the download page for details.
How is it different from Screen Studio?
MotionShine does the same kind of job, automatic zoom and a smooth cursor, with one-time pricing instead of a subscription. Pay once for Pro and keep it.
Where do my recordings go?
They stay on your Mac. MotionShine processes recordings locally and does not upload them.
Can I get a refund?
