About Recordly
Recordly is a desktop app for recording and editing screen captures for walkthroughs, demos, and product videos. It records an entire display or a single app window with microphone and system audio, then opens the recording in a built-in editor.
The editor provides timeline tools for zooms, trims, speed regions, annotations, extra audio, and cropping, plus cursor adjustments, webcam bubble overlays, and styled frames and backgrounds. Projects save as .recordly files. It runs on macOS 14.0+, Windows 10 Build 19041+, and modern Linux distros; cursor hiding is not supported on Linux today.
