ScreenCursor is a local Chrome extension that records screens and automates zoom effects on clicks, drags, and keystrokes.
What the product does and how it is positioned
ScreenCursor is a browser-based screen recording tool distributed as a Chrome extension for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It automatically detects cursor clicks, drags, and keystrokes during a session, turning those user interactions into focused camera movements without requiring manual video editing.
The tool processes all recording, editing, and video generation directly on the host computer without transmitting data to external servers. Users can adjust or remove automatic zooms, modify framing and aspect ratios, trim dead air, and export the final video as an MP4 file at resolutions up to 1080p.
Source-supported ways to use the product
Recording full-screen workflows across web tools and desktop applications with automated zooms focusing on interaction points.
Applying browser frames, custom backgrounds, and adjusted aspect ratios to capture clean product footage for distribution.
The documented workflow, where available
Select the target screen to begin recording, allowing the three-second buffer to pass so Chrome's sharing notification bar can be hidden.
Navigate applications while clicks, drags, and keystrokes automatically generate timed camera zooms and cursor-following movements.
Adjust zoom properties, apply backgrounds or frames, trim or speed up segments, and export an MP4 video up to 1080p to the Downloads folder.
ScreenCursor automates video editing during capture by registering user interactions as camera focus triggers. Each click, drag, and keystroke creates a zoom event that arrives immediately prior to the user's action, holds steady, and follows cursor movement across the recorded area.
Users retain manual control over the generated camera paths after capture. Zooms can be individually retimed, moved, deepened, set to snappy or gentle transition styles, or deleted, while the underlying timeline allows clip splitting and speed adjustments without desynchronizing camera coordinates.
Checks to run with your own material and workflow
What was checked and when
Answers based on the source-checked product record
No. Recording, editing, and video exports are executed entirely inside the browser on your computer. Videos are not uploaded to any remote server, and using the software does not require an account.
ScreenCursor runs as a Chrome extension, enabling it to function on macOS, Windows, and Linux environments where the Chrome browser operates with hardware video encoding.
Yes. Users can retime, shift, deepen, or delete any automatically generated zoom, switch motion dynamics between snappy and gentle, or add new zoom points directly on the recording.
ScreenCursor can record the entire display, including external desktop programs and design applications running outside the Google Chrome browser.
ScreenCursor exports finished recordings as MP4 video files at 720p or 1080p resolution directly to the computer's Downloads folder.
