Screen Glide is a native screen recorder app for macOS that helps create professional screen recordings without complex video editing.
You can record a full display, a specific window, or a selected area (cropped region on a chosen display).
Screen Glide asks for Screen and System Audio Recording (to capture your screen/windows/displays and system audio) and Accessibility (to help detect window geometry and cursor location). It requests Microphone and Camera permissions only if you enable those for a recording.
Yes. Screen Glide supports system audio and microphone audio capture (if a microphone device is available). In the editor/export flow you can also choose to include or exclude recorded audio sources.
Yes. If you record with camera enabled, Screen Glide records a separate camera track and lets you show/hide the overlay, move it, resize it, adjust roundness, shadow, and optionally mirror it.
It captures cursor data separately, which enables editor controls like show/hide cursor, cursor sizing, and cursor-driven zoom & pan behavior (and a toggle to disable zoom & pan).
Screen Glide includes an editor with a timeline where you can trim, split and delete video clips, and add and edit zoom/pan clips. You can also adjust cursor, camera overlay, background/canvas styling, and audio inclusion for the final export.
Exports are MP4 with resolutions like Original/Native, 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K, 5K and 8K. The codec is chosen based on hardware: HEVC (H.265) on Apple Silicon, otherwise typically H.264.
Yes. Export shows progress and you can cancel rendering mid-way.
