## What is Recordly?

Recordly is a desktop app for recording and editing screen captures with motion-driven presentation tools built in. Instead of sending raw footage to a motion designer just to add zooms, cursor polish, or a styled background, Recordly handles that workflow in one place for free.

Recordly runs on:

- **macOS** 14.0+
- **Windows** 10 Build 19041+
- **Linux** on modern distros

Platform notes:

- **macOS** uses native ScreenCaptureKit-based capture helpers.
- **Windows** uses a native Windows Graphics Capture (WGC) helper on supported builds, with native WASAPI audio support.
- **Linux** records through Electron capture APIs. X11 uses a screen/window source list; Wayland opens the system picker when recording starts. Cursor hiding is not supported on Linux today.

# Core Features

## Auto-zooms, cursor polish, and styled frames
Recordly can automatically emphasize activity with zoom suggestions, smooth cursor movement, add motion effects, and place the final composition inside a styled frame with wallpapers, colors, gradients, blur, padding, and shadows.

## Dynamic webcam bubble overlays
Add webcam footage as an overlay bubble, position it with presets or custom coordinates, mirror it, control shadow and roundness, and optionally make it react to zoom so it stays visually balanced during motion.

## Timeline editing built for demos
Use drag-and-drop timeline tools for zooms, trims, speed regions, annotations, extra audio regions, and crop-aware edits. Save and reopen work as `.recordly` project files.
