Beautiful by default
Every recording inherits good taste. No templates, no tweaking.
Polished demos, minimal editing.
The Mac screen recorder for polished demos
Record to ready in minutes
Capture your flow, and Kirocast handles the polish automatically.
Mac-native, indie-priced
A focused tool that respects your workflow and your budget.
Automatic zoom
Kirocast makes your demos look cinematic, the moment you stop recording.
Smart auto-zoom
The moment you stop recording, Kirocast zooms in on the clicks and actions you performed on screen.
Advanced editing
Drag any zoom on the timeline, add your own, or adjust the easing. Trim, cut, and change the pace.
Smart annotations
Call attention to anything, without ever reaching for a drawing tool.
On the fly
Loop your cursor around something a few times while you record. Kirocast spots the gesture and draws the annotation in post.
Editing
Reposition, restyle, or remove any annotation. Full control whenever you want it.
Clean, custom backgrounds
Every recording lands on a background that looks designed, automatically.
Polished by default
Your capture sits on a tasteful background out of the box, so it looks professional with zero effort.
Real Mac wallpapers, or your own
Pick from real macOS wallpapers, drop in an image, or build a custom gradient.
Shadow, padding, and corners
Add depth with adjustable shadow, padding, and rounded corners.
Privacy masks
Not everything on your screen is meant for the audience.
Mask anything sensitive
Draw a blur over passwords, DMs, or any region on screen. Resize and reposition it right in the editor.
Never leaves your Mac
Masks are baked in on-device before export, so sensitive frames are never uploaded anywhere.
Automatic captions
Clear captions for every recording — transcribed on your Mac.
Transcribed on-device
Kirocast transcribes your audio locally with the Parakeet speech model. Nothing leaves your Mac. The language you speak is auto-detected as you transcribe.
Captions that keep up
Subtitles are burned into the preview and the export, highlighting each word as it’s spoken. Resize them to taste.
Yours to edit and export
Fix any word right in the editor, click a word to jump the playhead there, or export an .srt subtitle file.
Our one rule
One job, done properly.
Most recorders try to be everything. Kirocast does a single thing: turn a raw screen capture into a demo you're proud to share.

FAQ
The things people ask before they hit record.
How much does Kirocast cost?
A single yearly license: $39 for a full year with every feature and all the updates that year. No monthly billing, no tiers, no add-ons.
Where do my recordings go?
Nowhere but your Mac. Capturing, editing, and exporting all happen on-device. Your recordings are never uploaded to a server.
Do I need to be online to use it?
No. Kirocast records, edits, and exports fully offline. There’s no cloud processing and no always-on connection required.
Can I hide sensitive information before sharing?
Yes. Privacy masks let you blur passwords, messages, or anything on screen right in the editor, before you export.
Is it a real Mac app?
Completely. Kirocast is 100% native, built on Apple’s own frameworks, with no Electron and no web wrapper. It launches instantly and stays light.
What do I need to run it?
A Mac running macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
