Vertical, done right
9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok. Your screen on top, you underneath, captions on — and zooms that keep the action in frame.
A native Mac app with on-device AI
Screen recordings that direct themselves.
Hit record and just talk. Framecast zooms in on every click, glides your cursor, frames your camera and blurs anything private — before you ever open an editor.

The difference
Same recording. Different league.
Drag across. On the left, what your Mac captured: a customer list typed into a spreadsheet, too small to read. On the right, what Framecast made of it — the camera follows the typing, cell by cell. Nobody touched a keyframe.
Raw capture
Framecast
Focus
Every click, in focus.
Framecast watches your clicks, typing and scrolling, then plans a camera move for each one: in close, along with the cursor, and gently back out. You never place a zoom by hand — unless you want to.
SaaS dashboard — zooms in on every click
- It knows what you clicked. Framecast reads the control under your pointer, so a zoom frames the whole dialog — not just a cursor.
- Follows your typing. While you write, the frame tracks the text caret, line by line.
- Moves like a camera. Two-stage easing, look-ahead and motion blur make every pan feel filmed.
Camera
You on screen. Your way.
Open full-screen, slip into a bubble while you click around, then step in front of your screen with the background removed. One take holds every layout, and the switches animate themselves.
Plausible — full screen, then a bubble, then a cut-out
- Background removal. Cut yourself out of your room, right on your Mac. No green screen.
- Captions that keep up. Word-timed captions from your voice — or translated into another language.
- Gets out of the way. Your bubble shrinks while a zoom needs the room, and tracks your face.
Privacy
Secrets stay secret.
Framecast reads every frame on your Mac and finds what shouldn't be shared — API keys, passwords, email addresses, card numbers — then blurs them. The blur follows the text when you scroll.
- Blur, pixelate or blend into the background
- Warns you before a share link goes out with something sensitive
- Nothing leaves your Mac to do it
Explain
Point it out. Number the steps.
Because Framecast knows which control you clicked, it can drop a numbered badge right on it, step by step. Add arrows, boxes and notes that stay pinned to the screen while the camera moves.
- One click: “Number the clicks”
- Arrows, boxes, text and badges
- Title slides between scenes
Edit
The edit is done before you open it.
When you stop recording, the zooms are placed, the cursor is smoothed and the background is set. The editor is there for the last ten percent — with a real timeline, a transcript you can cut, and every setting one click away.
- The Oops key. Flubbed a sentence? Press ⌥⌘O, say it again — the bad take is cut for you.
- Edit with words. Delete “um”s and long pauses straight from the transcript.
- Waiting plays fast. Uploads and spinners speed up on their own, with a ⏩ badge.

Questions
Good questions.
Something else? Write to us.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. Download it, then record and edit with every feature for as long as you like. To export, which means saving, copying or sharing what you made, you need a license. Buy one when you’re happy with the result.
What do I need to run it?
A Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Apple silicon is recommended for the fastest exports. A few AI features, like titles and summaries, need Apple Intelligence on a supported Mac.
Are my recordings uploaded anywhere?
Only what you share. Recordings, transcripts and AI all stay on your Mac. When you make a share link, Framecast asks first, then uploads the finished video, not your original recording, to share.framecast.pro. Your license includes the hosting, so there’s nothing to set up. The privacy policy lists exactly what’s sent.
What do I get when I pay once?
A license key, by email and on the page after checkout. It lets you export on up to 3 Macs, and every future update is yours too.
Do updates cost extra?
No. Every future version of Framecast is included with your license, and there’s nothing to renew. Framecast tells you when a new version is out.
Can I record my iPhone or iPad?
Yes. Plug it in with a cable, pick it in Device mode, and record. The same editor and effects apply.
Can I move my license to a new Mac?
Yes. Deactivate the old Mac in Framecast › Settings › License, or remove it on your account page, then activate the new one.
Does it work on Windows?
No. Framecast is built for the Mac, and only the Mac.
