Why One Rec
Every raw screen recording has the same three problems: a jittery cursor, long pauses and text too small to read on a phone. One Rec fixes all three, so a ten-minute take doesn't cost you an afternoon of editing.
01 — Record
One bar.Every source.
Record the whole screen, one window or a selected area. Add up to four cameras and eight microphones, plus system audio. On a Mac, you can capture every app or just one. Pause whenever you need to. The take is written to disk as you record, so a crash won't lose it.

02 — Edit · Auto-zoom
It zoomswhere you click.
One Rec logs every click and keystroke while you record, then places zooms on them for you. Choose Subtle, Balanced or Energetic, pick one of six depths from 1.25× to 5×, and drag any zoom on the timeline to adjust it.
Cursor
Your hand shakes.Your cursor doesn't.
One Rec redraws the cursor path with spring smoothing, adds a click effect viewers can see, and scales the pointer up to 3× so it's easy to follow on a phone.
Look
Frame it once.Export it anywhere.
Pick from 13 wallpapers and 21 gradients, or upload your own image once you're signed in. Then set padding, corner radius and shadow. Switch to 9:16 for Shorts or 1:1 for a feed post without rebuilding the look.
Captions
Subtitles, writtenon your machine.
Whisper transcribes on your computer, in 17 languages, with timing for every word. Style captions as Modern karaoke highlights, Handwritten or Code. Nothing is uploaded and there's no per-minute fee.

Smart Trim
Cut the ums.Keep the point.
Smart Trim finds long pauses, and once captions are generated, filler words, repeated words and retakes too. Each cut is a suggestion: you go through the list and accept only the ones you want.
