# Recordly Open-source screen recorder and editor for polished product demos, walkthroughs, tutorials, and social clips. Records screen or window, then provides a timeline editor with auto-zoom, cursor effects, webcam overlays, styled backgrounds, and MP4/GIF export. All effects are 2D pan-and-zoom with motion blur — not 3D perspective transforms. Fork of OpenScreen (`siddharthvaddem/openscreen`, 10.6K stars, MIT). Recordly adds: webcam zoom-reactive scaling, `.recordly` project persistence, auto-captions (Whisper), enhanced cursor effects (sway, click bounce, loop mode), native capture backends. AGPL 3.0. ## When to Use - Recording polished screen demos for PRs, docs, or social media - Post-processing raw screen recordings with auto-zoom, cursor smoothing, and styled frames - Creating product walkthrough videos with webcam overlay - Polishing recordings captured via `compound-engineering:feature-video` **When not to use**: For raw screen capture without polish (use macOS screenshot, OBS, or QuickTime). For headless/batch video processing (use ffmpeg). For device frame mockups with phone/laptop bezels (use Rotato or Shots.so). For audio mixing or voiceover (use a dedicated audio editor). ## Quick Start ```bash # Install Recordly (clone, build, handle macOS quarantine) bash scripts/install_recordly.sh # Launch Recordly (or open a file directly) bash scripts/launch_recordly.sh bash scripts/launch_recordly.sh path/to/recording.mp4 bash scripts/launch_recordly.sh path/to/...
