Below, PointerCam finishes a take one decision at a time, and every control on the way is the editor’s own. Try them as you go.

Four clicks through a billing page, captured in a Chrome tab or on your Mac. Nothing is edited yet. Keep scrolling and PointerCam finishes it the way it finishes every take.

A new video starts on a backdrop with padding, rounded corners and a soft shadow. Pick one of 15 live backgrounds or your own picture, and add a browser bar if you like.

Each click becomes a camera move that starts a second before the click. Every move is a block on the timeline that you can drag, deepen or delete.

Each click is marked where it lands. In the Mac app the pointer is drawn after the take, so you can resize it, restyle it or swap in a picture of your own.

Recording, editing and export all happen on your computer, and there is no account to make. Open your browser’s network panel while PointerCam exports and see for yourself.

The Mac app records where your pointer goes and draws it again for the video, steady and easy to see. Steer it on the page below, and change it with the editor’s own settings.

Click effects and the spotlight work on Chrome takes too. The pointer’s look and movement are for takes made in the Mac app.

Both open the same editor, and both are free to try. The Mac app follows your clicks in every app, and the extension follows them in Chrome.

Compare the plans

Whatever the plan, your recordings stay on your machine. No plan can reach into work you have already exported.

Short answers here. The privacy page has the long ones.

What do I get from one recording?

A video with the close-ups already placed, and a step-by-step guide you can export as PDF, Word, a web page or Markdown. Any frame of the take can also be opened in the screenshot editor and finished as a picture.

Do I have to edit anything?

No. Your video opens with the close-ups placed on your clicks and every click marked, ready to export. Simple mode shows what was done and the choices most videos make, one click each. Pro mode lays out every setting, and ⌘K finds any of them by what it changes or by a problem, like “silence”.

Can I make YouTube videos with it?

Yes. Export an MP4 at up to 1080p and 30 fps free, or up to 4K at 60 fps with Studio. Captions are made on your computer, and can go in the picture or into an SRT file beside the video for YouTube’s own captions. Studio also records your camera: a bubble in a corner, a column beside the screen or the whole frame, changed at any moment in the video.

Can I make vertical videos for Shorts, Reels or TikTok?

Yes. Pick the Shorts style: it sets the video to 9:16, crops in to follow your pointer, and adds big word-by-word captions. For LinkedIn and Instagram feeds, the Feed style sets 4:5 with the captions under the picture. Any video can also be square or another shape.

Can I draw on the screen while I record?

Yes. Press ⌥⇧D and draw with a pen, a highlighter, arrows, boxes or circles, in the Mac app or in Chrome, free. The drawing fades three seconds after your last stroke, or stays until you clear it.

Can I use my own cursor, like my logo?

Yes, in the Mac app. It draws the pointer after you record, so you can pick another one or upload a PNG, or a GIF that plays. Fit it into the pointer’s square, click the spot it points from, and choose whether it hides while you type. A Style keeps it for your next video. In Chrome the pointer is part of the recording, and ev
