Record Once, Edit Everything — No Extra Software Needed

Record, edit, and export polished videos with powerful built-in tools

Key Differentiator

Auto-Zoom That Follows Your Clicks

No other screen recorder does this. ScreenBuddy watches where you click and automatically zooms in with smooth animation — from 1.25x to 5x. Your viewers see exactly what matters, without you lifting a finger.

Screen Recording

Record your full screen or specific application windows with crystal-clear quality. Capture system audio and microphone simultaneously.

Insert Annotations

Add text overlays, images, arrows, and shapes with full styling control. Customize fonts, colors, borders, and shadows for every element.

Change Backgrounds

Choose from 18 gradient presets, solid colors, or custom images. Add padding, corner radius, and shadow effects for a polished look.

Customize Cursor Size

Adjust cursor size to make it more visible in your recordings. Perfect for tutorials and presentations where viewers need to follow along.

Webcam Recording

Overlay your webcam feed on screen recordings for a personal touch. Perfect for product demos, tutorials, and presentations.

Here’s what people are saying about ScreenBuddy

The auto-zoom feature alone is worth it. I used to spend 20 minutes manually keyframing zoom effects in Premiere. ScreenBuddy does it automatically in real time.

Developer Advocate

I switched from Loom because I wanted my recordings to look more polished without paying $150/year. ScreenBuddy was $9.99 once and the gradient backgrounds make every video look professional.

Our product team uses ScreenBuddy for all feature demos and bug reports. The fact that everything stays on our machines — no cloud uploads — was a requirement for us.
