Features
Every feature, built for demos
viewio is a free, open-source macOS screen recorder that captures beautiful screen recordings, minus the editing. Below are the 6 core features that make product videos intentional without hours in an editor.
1. Record up to 4K60
Native, 4K, 1440p, 1080p, or 720p at 15–60 fps. Capture full screen, a window, or a region. Native macOS APIs keep frames sharp and system audio in sync. Ideal for product demos, tutorials, and bug reproductions where fidelity matters.
2. Auto Zoom
Add zoom ranges on the timeline that follow your cursor with smooth entry and exit. No keyframing — viewio tracks cursor position and eases in/out so attention lands where you clicked.
3. Cursor styles
Restyle the cursor after capture with real macOS cursor assets. Swap pointer styles on the timeline without re-recording. Pick the pointer that fits the story — default, hand, or crosshair.
4. Backgrounds & padding
Drop a wallpaper behind your recording, tune padding and corner radius, or upload a custom background. Polish for Twitter, docs, or landing pages without Figma.
5. Audio your way
System audio, microphone, background music, and mute original — mix narration and soundtrack after the fact. Keep system sounds or replace with music in one timeline.
6. Camera overlay
Add your camera as a talking-head overlay next to the screen. Perfect for tutorials and async standups where face + screen builds trust.
