# Cursorful

> Screen recorder that adds zooms and pans automatically

Cursorful is a screen recorder that follows clicks and cursor movement and adds zooms and pans to the recording on its own. A free Chrome extension records the browser, and paid desktop apps for macOS and Windows record any app and redraw the cursor. Both open the same editor, which renders video on the user's device and uploads nothing unless cloud sharing is switched on. Pro is a one-time payment per seat.

## Ways to pay less

- **Pro is a one-time payment of $79 per seat** (Lifetime license): Cursorful Pro is paid once, not as a subscription, and includes lifetime access to all current and future offline features. Source: https://cursorful.com/#pricing
- **Lower per-seat price from 3 seats** (Other savings): The seat selector on the pricing section drops the Pro price to $66 per seat for 3 or more seats, $59 for 5 or more and $54 for 10 or more. Source: https://cursorful.com/#pricing

## Key features

- **Automatic zooms and pans:** A zoom is added when two or more clicks happen within 3 seconds and follows the cursor while clicking continues. Zooms can be added, removed and adjusted afterward.
- **Segment timeline:** Zooms, speed changes, camera layouts and blur are segments on one timeline that can be trimmed, moved and stacked. Any segment can be sped up to 10x.
- **Redrawn cursor in the desktop apps:** The desktop apps capture the pointer separately from the video, so it can be smoothed, resized and given sway, motion blur, a shadow and click animations.
- **Captions and microphone denoising:** Captions are generated from the audio on the device and can be restyled. Denoising removes fan, hum and keyboard noise from narration, also on the device.
- **Local rendering and aspect ratios:** Exports are rendered on the user's machine with hardware encoding, in ten aspect-ratio presets from ultrawide to portrait. 4K needs Pro.
- **Shareable links:** A video can be exported to a streaming link that is public or private to an organization. Pro includes 10 GB of shared cloud storage.

## Good for

- Product demos recorded in the browser with zooms added for you
- People who want recordings rendered on their own device
- Buyers who prefer a one-time payment to a subscription

## Worth knowing

- The free plan is for non-commercial use, records only the browser and exports at up to 1080p; microphone, camera and 4K need Pro.
- The desktop apps need a Pro license to export, and the Mac app requires Apple silicon.
- Firefox is not supported, and in the extension automatic zooms work only while the browser is in focus.
- Cloud storage beyond the 10 GB included with Pro costs $0.02 per GB per month.
