Hit record
Pick your screen and go. ScreenCursor waits three seconds so you can hide Chrome’s sharing bar first, then stays out of your way.
Record your screen and get back a finished video with the camera moves already in place. Every click, drag and keystroke becomes a zoom. No editing, and nothing ever leaves your computer.
One payment. Works offline. No account.
The middle one is the whole product, and it is the one you do not have to do.
Pick your screen and go. ScreenCursor waits three seconds so you can hide Chrome’s sharing bar first, then stays out of your way.
Every click, drag and keystroke becomes a camera move. It arrives before the click, holds steady, then follows your cursor. Nothing to place by hand.
Trim, cut or adjust any zoom if you want to, then export MP4 at up to 1080p, straight to your Downloads folder.
Before is a raw screen capture. After is the file ScreenCursor produced from it, untouched by hand. That difference is the entire product.
The first one happens on its own. The other four are there for when you want them.
Clicks, drags and keystrokes are all picked up while you record. Each one gets a zoom at the same depth, arriving a beat before the action so the viewer is already looking at the right place when it happens.
Nothing is baked in. Retime a zoom, push its depth in or out, switch the motion between snappy and gentle, or delete the one you did not want. The camera rebuilds as you drag, so what you are watching is what exports.
Right-click any zoom and choose Zoom focus point. Drag the box over the part you want people to see, and that is exactly what the zoom will show. It works on recordings of desktop apps too.
Sit the recording on a wallpaper, a gradient or your own image, softened so the backdrop never competes with it. Add a browser frame carrying the real page title, round the corners, and pick the aspect ratio for wherever it is going.
Split the clip anywhere, delete the stretches nobody needs to sit through, and speed up the ones that merely drag. The zooms move with the cut, so nothing drifts out of step with the picture.
No subscription, no seats, no watermark, no limit on how much you record.
One payment, for good. Updates included.
Get Lifetime AccessNo. Recording, editing and export all happen inside your browser, and your video never leaves your computer. There is no account to create and no server for it to go to. See the privacy policy for exactly what that means.
Most screen recording software gives you back exactly what you recorded, and leaves the camera work to you in a video editor. ScreenCursor does that part while you record: every click, drag and keystroke becomes a zoom, placed and timed for you. The best screen recorders for sharing work are the ones that produce something watchable without a second pass, and that is the only thing this is trying to be.
Screen Studio is macOS only and costs about $108 a year. ScreenCursor is $49 once and runs anywhere Chrome does, including Windows and Linux. Screen Studio does more, though: webcam overlay, motion blur, recording an iPhone over USB. The full Screen Studio alternative comparison has every price checked against each vendor’s own site.
Yes. Nothing is baked in. Every zoom can be retimed, pushed deeper or shallower, pointed at exactly the part of the screen you choose with Zoom focus point, switched between snappy and gentle motion, or deleted. You can add your own anywhere too. The camera rebuilds as you drag, so what you are watching is what exports.
ScreenCursor is a Chrome extension, so it runs wherever Chrome does: macOS, Windows and Linux. Recording performance depends on your machine having hardware video encoding, which almost everything made in the last decade does.
Yes. One purchase activates on up to three machines, which covers a laptop, a desktop and a work computer. If you replace one, you can free its slot from the license page inside the extension or from your Polar account, then activate the new one.
No. One payment of $49, yours permanently, including updates. There is no monthly fee and no per-video limit.
Because this is a one-time digital purchase delivered instantly, refunds are handled under Polar’s policy. Polar is the merchant of record for the sale. Full detail on the refunds page.
Your whole screen, including anything outside the browser: other apps, your desktop, a design tool. Chrome shows its own “sharing your screen” bar while recording, which cannot be switched off, so ScreenCursor waits three seconds to let you collapse it.
MP4, at 720p or 1080p. It exports to your Downloads folder like any other file, ready to upload anywhere without conversion.
