Recordly

Recordly captures screen activity on macOS, Windows, and Linux, adding animated cursor effects, auto‑zoom, and customizable backgrounds directly during recording. It also supports a dynamic webcam bubble that expands or contracts to keep the presenter in focus, and it can capture both microphone and system audio with sample‑accurate synchronization.

After recording, users can edit the footage through a drag‑and‑drop timeline that lets them adjust speed, add annotations, layer external audio or webcam clips, and loop cursor paths for smooth GIFs or looping videos. Projects are saved in a native format that preserves all layout and media choices, and the final output can be exported as MP4 or GIF with selectable quality settings.

The application is fully open‑source and free, without paywalls or usage limits, and it is positioned as a community‑driven alternative for creating product demos, tutorials, and other instructional videos.
