Stanislav TyshchenkoFounder of OpencalsQuestions, answered.
Straight answers about the Mac app, your recordings and the price.
Ask us anythingIs this a Mac app or a Chrome extension?
A native macOS app built in SwiftUI and AppKit. There's no browser extension, and nothing runs in a browser.
How is it different from Screen Studio?
Both make polished recordings with automatic zoom and a smooth cursor. Smooth Recorder is a one-time purchase instead of a subscription, and it also takes screenshots, scrolling captures and text from the screen.
Which Macs does it run on?
macOS 15 Sequoia and later. On macOS 26 it uses the newer system features when they're available.
Do my recordings leave my Mac?
No. Captions, text recognition and redaction all run on your Mac.
What can I export?
MP4 for anywhere and MOV for Keynote and Final Cut, at 30 or 60 fps. GIF for docs, chat and READMEs, at up to 24 fps.
What does early access mean?
The first 100 buyers paid $9, and they're all claimed. The next 100 pay $19 once instead of the regular $49, and get every update while the app is shaped by early users' feedback.
How many Macs can I use it on?
One license works on one Mac at a time. Moving to a new Mac? Deactivate it on the old one in Settings › License, then activate on the new one.
Can I get a refund?
It's a one-time purchase and all sales are final. If something isn't working, email us and we'll help you sort it out.
Leaving Screen Studio feels like this. Smooth Recorder is $19, once.
Their monthly plan is $29 a month, $348 a year (as of October 2026).
Grab an invoice and throw it.
