Indispensable for creating screen demos.
How it works
Record, auto-zoom, share
Capture your screen
Use the Chrome extension or the Mac and Windows apps. Narrate with your microphone and bring your camera along.
Clicks become zooms
Two clicks within three seconds start a zoom. The view follows your cursor while the clicks keep coming, and eases back out when they stop.
Export it, or send a link
Render an MP4 or a GIF on your own computer, or publish a streaming link — public, or private to your organization.

One recording, every look
Hide the background, go vertical, drop the browser frame or put your camera beside the screen. The demo re-renders as you click, with the same engine as the editor.
What's in the editor
Everything a polished demo needs
Record with the extension or the desktop apps, or drop in any video file. Zooms, crops, captions and backgrounds are applied in the editor, and nothing is uploaded.
Automatic zooms & pans
Cursorful follows your clicks and cursor with silky, cinematic zooms — no keyframes to place by hand. Record, and the first automatic edit is already done.

Manual zooms, any depth
Drop a zoom anywhere on the timeline — follow the cursor or pin a spot — and dial the depth from shallow to maximum.

Webcam, your way
Circle, rounded or sharp — dock your camera in any corner, resize it, even move and reshape it per scene.
Everything is a segment
Zooms, speed, camera and blur are all segments on one timeline. Trim, move and stack them.

Automatic cropping
Crop to the recorded window automatically, or draw a fixed crop to leave out toolbars, sidebars and anything else off-topic.
Speed, trim & split
Speed up any segment up to 10×, trim dead air and split takes, all on the same timeline as your zooms.

One-click captions
Generate captions from your audio, on your device — then style size, fill and stroke to match your brand.
Captions, generated
Speech-to-text, in your browser
Mic with studio denoising
Narrate while you record. Denoising strips fans, hums and keyboard clatter — entirely on your machine.

Hide the browser frame for a cleaner look
Suffer from tab hoarding or a messy bookmarks bar? One click hides the tab strip, address bar and bookmarks, so the recording shows only the page.
Shareable links
Export straight to a streaming link — public or private to your organization. No file juggling, just paste it in Slack.

100% local, offline rendering
Exports run on your device with hardware encoding — up to 4K, private by default. Cloud is opt-in, never required.

Your video never leaves your machine
Every aspect ratio
Export the same edit as 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts and Reels, 1:1 for feeds — ten presets from ultrawide to portrait.

Cursor effects
Your cursor is the star of the show
Each card is a live demo — move your mouse over it and the cursor inside follows yours. These effects need the desktop app, which records the pointer separately so it can be redrawn.

Smooth movement
Jittery hand movement is replaced with a smoothed path. The gray cursor is your raw input; the green one is what viewers see.

Cursor size
Scale the cursor from subtle to unmissable so it reads clearly on any screen — even a phone playing a 4K demo.
hover to try it
Motion blur
Fast movement is blurred along its path instead of jumping between frames. Flick your mouse across the card.
hover to try it
Movement sway
The cursor tilts into turns and settles when it stops, so movement reads as deliberate rather than mechanical.
Extension and desktop apps
One editor, every platform
Record with the free extension or the Pro desktop apps. Both open the same editor, so nothing changes when you switch.
Dedicated Mac & Windows apps
Records any app on screen, and captures the pointer separately from the video so the cursor can be redrawn: smoothed, resized, with sway and a shadow.

It does everything: Records without fault, edits the focus for you (zoom), shows where you click with a pulse, easy editing in-app after, and allows you to reduce file size substantially while keeping the readability of text in video. I'm a journalist and use Cursorful to show developers and administrators the bugs I run into in my work routine. It works just a little bit better than a screenshot, because they can see where I click exactly, and what happens.

Reliable, fast, easy to use and with great post-recording visual customisation options too. Very refreshing to see a one-time purchase option as well.
