One recording. Multiple app videos.
Create App Store preview videos, app tutorial videos, onboarding videos, SaaS demo videos, and product walkthrough videos from a single recording.
App Store Preview Videos
Apple lets you add 15–30 second preview videos to your App Store listing. Cursiq makes them cinematic and exports them exactly to Apple's specs — H.264, correct resolution, right file size. Ready to upload.
App Tutorial Videos
Walk users through every feature with zoomed-in, highlighted recordings that make your app effortless to understand.
Product Demo Videos
Pitch your app to investors, clients, or your team with polished, cinematic app videos that speak for themselves.
SaaS Demo Videos
Showcase your SaaS product, feature releases, and product walkthroughs with professional app videos — no video editing skills required.
Everything your app video needs
From Mac screen recording to cinematic app video — zoom, 3D motion, interaction highlights, and App Store-ready export, all in one place
Smart Zoom
Highlight exactly what matters. Place zoom points on key interactions and cursiq smoothly zooms in — perfect for app tutorial videos and App Store previews.
Cinematic 3D Window Motion
Your app window comes to life with smooth camera movement and subtle 3D tilt — the kind of polish that makes App Store preview videos stand out.
Click & Interaction Highlights
Every tap, click, and keyboard shortcut is detected automatically — so you always know exactly where to place your zoom points for maximum clarity.
Custom Backgrounds
Choose from built-in gradients or upload your own branded background. Your app video, your style — instant App Store-ready.
App Store-Ready Export
Export in the exact format Apple requires — H.264, 1920×1080 for Mac, 15–30 seconds, under 500 MB. No re-encoding, no guesswork. Upload and go.
Cursor Styles
Pick a cursor style that fits your app video — from minimal to highlighted — so every interaction reads clearly on screen.
Audio Track
Add any audio track to your recording — music, sound effects, or voiceover narration — to bring your app video to life.
iPhone Screen Recording
Record your iPhone screen directly and turn it into a cinematic app video — same zoom, motion, and export quality as Mac recordings.
Privacy Blur
Place blur zones over anything that shouldn't be seen — inbox previews, notifications, personal data — without re-recording a single frame.

Yes — but Cursiq is much more than a basic Mac screen recorder. While it records your Mac screen at up to 1080p, it automatically adds cinematic zoom, 3D motion, click highlights, and keyboard shortcut detection. The result is a polished app video ready for the App Store, YouTube, or anywhere else — not just a raw screen recording.

Cursiq works on macOS Monterey (12) and newer. Best performance on Apple Silicon Macs (M1–M5) with macOS Ventura (13) or Sonoma (14).

Cursiq is currently built for macOS, and we don't have plans for a Windows version just yet.
Most screen recorders just capture your screen. Cursiq takes your Mac screen recording further — clicks and keyboard shortcuts are highlighted automatically, you place zoom points where they matter, and 3D motion brings your window to life. The result looks like a professional App Store preview video. It takes minutes. And because the export matches Apple's specs exactly, there's no back-and-forth with formats or file sizes. Just record, refine, upload.
