SimaRecord Pro is built in the open. Here's what we're shipping next, what's in active development, and what we're thinking about. Tell us what to prioritize.

Shipped
v1.1
Auto-Polish pipeline
Zoom-to-click, cursor highlights, click rings, silence removal, noise reduction — one click.
Native Retina capture + Display P3 color
Records at your display's native pixel density with wide-gamut color preserved end-to-end. Text and UI stay sharp.
Lossless HEVC + ProRes 422 export
Pristine export presets for everything from web-optimized MP4 to ProRes for Final Cut, Premiere, and DaVinci handoff.
Window capture mode
Record just one app window — Demo Mode places it on a clean background with the rest of your desktop hidden.
Wallpaper backgrounds
macOS-style wallpapers, gradients, solid colors, or your own image. Cinematic look without any editing.
Animated webcam choreography
Webcam scales smoothly up when you present and shrinks when you demonstrate — attention shifts naturally between you and the content.
10 Scene Layouts
PiP corners, full-face, split, demo-left/right, content-only. Switch live with Option+1 through 0.
Content Cards
Title, bullet, stats, highlight, and CTA cards inserted with a hotkey during recording.
Callout Markers
Numbered step badges placed at your cursor with Cmd+Shift+C.
Vertical (9:16) export
One-click switch to TikTok / Reels / Shorts format. Zooms, cursor effects, and branding reflow automatically.
GIF export
Polished recordings as optimized GIFs for docs, Notion, GitHub READMEs, and Twitter.
Smoother auto-zoom
Easing curve tuned for buttery zoom motion, click-anticipation so the zoom feels like it read your mind, and a steady 60fps polish output.
.simarecord Project Bundles
Re-open any recording later and re-polish with different settings. Nothing is lost.
Branding Kit
Logo watermark, lower-third name card, custom colors. On-brand by default.
Next Up
Soon
Next
Director mode for window capture
Position your window anywhere on screen and the recording keeps it exactly there inside a 16:9 safe zone. Drop a webcam, content panel, or branding alongside it — no post-production reflow needed.
Next
Halo overlays
Configurable colored glow around your webcam and content panels — the look that makes YouTube tutorials feel produced. Pick a color, set the depth, done.
Soon
On-device captions
Apple Speech framework transcription. Burn subtitles into your video. Multi-language, fully local — nothing leaves your Mac.
Soon
Auto-hide idle cursor
When the cursor stops moving, it fades out smoothly. Pops back the moment you move it. Cleaner videos automatically.
Soon
Editor polish
Drag-to-reorder cards, undo/redo, per-segment effect toggles, and refined trim controls.
Considering
Future
iPhone-over-USB capture
Plug in your iPhone and record its screen directly inside SimaRecord Pro — no separate iOS app, no mirroring tool.
Filler word removal
Automatically detect and cut "um", "uh", and other filler words — like Descript, but on-device.
Auto-chapters
Generate YouTube chapter markers from natural breaks in your recording.
Multi-take recording
Re-record a section and splice it in. Keep the rest. No restart.
iPhone as webcam
Use Continuity Camera for a high-quality webcam input. Already in macOS, just need to wire it up.
Project library
A searchable history of all your .simarecord bundles inside the app.
Team licenses
Bulk discount for teams of 5+. Shared brand kits and templates.
