What is Screenie?

Screenie is a macOS screen recorder that automatically edits your recordings. Double-tap Control to record, double-tap to stop — Screenie adds smooth zoom on clicks, speeds up idle moments, renders a cursor with click highlights, and copies the result to your clipboard. No timeline, no video editor.

Features

• Double-tap Control to start/stop recording
• Auto zoom on mouse clicks with spring physics
• Speed ramping — idle moments sped up 4-8x automatically
• Cursor rendering with smooth tracking and click ring highlights
• Floating indicator with recording timer
• Preview HUD — copy, open, or discard after recording
• Clipboard ready — paste your recording anywhere
• Guided onboarding — walks you through permissions on first launch

Install

1. Download Screenie.dmg
2. Open the DMG and drag Screenie to Applications
3. Launch Screenie — the onboarding will guide you through permissions

Requirements: macOS 14+ · Apple Silicon or Intel

How it works

1. Double-tap Control → recording starts, floating pill shows timer
2. Do your thing → click, scroll, type — Screenie tracks everything
3. Double-tap Control → Screenie auto-edits (zoom, speed ramp, cursor) and copies to clipboard
