Screenify Studio is a macOS screen recorder and 3D device-mockup studio that turns raw screen captures into cinematic product demo videos using auto-zoom on clicks, keyframed 3D camera moves, and on-device AI for captions, translation, and background removal.
What is Screenify Studio?
Screenify Studio is a native macOS application (Apple Silicon, macOS 13+) that records your screen and then edits that footage into polished product demos inside the same app. It captures a full screen, a specific window, a custom area, the iOS Simulator, multiple monitors, and multiple microphones, and it exports 1080p on the free tier or 4K at 60fps with HDR on Pro. It is built by a solo founder, Brjan, working out of Ho Chi Minh City, and was released into early access with a free tier plus one-time Pro and Pro+ licenses. The app is roughly 80 MB and does not run on Chromium or Electron.
What makes Screenify Studio stand out?
- Auto-zoom and cursor studio — AI detects clicks, typing, and mouse dwell to place zooms automatically, paired with 24 callout bubble styles, cursor recolouring, a glossy 3D cursor, click sounds, and cursor tilt.
- 3D cinematic camera — 30+ camera templates covering dolly, pan-tilt, orbit, and crane moves, with 3 camera modes, unlimited keyframes, and custom bezier path routes built on a timeline.
- Multi-device mockup stage — stage 2–3 iPhones and Macs in one 3D scene with 6 3D models and a single keyframed camera path, or drop flat photoreal frames (iPhone 14–17, iPad, Mac) onto a recording.
- On-device AI — Whisper captions with word-level karaoke highlighting at roughly 98% accuracy, 1-click subtitle translation into 50+ languages, background removal at 5–20 ms per frame on the Neural Engine, and zero-shot voice cloning from a 3-second sample.
- Pro editor — 10+ specialised tracks with cuts, trims, and per-clip properties, plus annotation tools, keystroke display, dynamic backgrounds (150+ wallpapers across 9 categories), watermark branding, and royalty-free music.
- AI web demos via CLI — point the Screenify CLI at any URL, describe the flow in plain English, and an AI agent clicks through it (including behind a login) and produces a cinematic GIF, MOV, or MP4 in one pass.
- Export performance — Metal GPU and Apple Neural Engine rendering, with the page claiming 3× faster export than Electron-based tools; no upload is required at any step.
Who should use Screenify Studio?
Indie hackers and solo founders: record a feature demo and post it to X or Product Hunt within about 15 minutes using 3D camera moves and auto-zoom. App developers: record the iOS Simulator or a real iPhone and export an App Store preview at the 15–30 second, 30fps spec. Engineers: produce bug-fix walkthroughs with window capture, callout glow, and on-screen keystrokes. Builders posting daily: cut a 90-second build-in-public clip with camera picture-in-picture.
What can you do with Screenify Studio?
- Product launches: capture a signup-to-dashboard flow, add auto-zoom on clicks, and stage it in a 3D MacBook for a launch video.
- App Store previews: capture a device or Simulator and export a zero-bezel frame sequence that matches App Store preview length requirements.
- Engineering walkthroughs: combine window capture, callout effects, and keystroke display to explain a fix without a separate editor.
- Multi-device marketing clips: place two or three phones and laptops in one 3D scene and glide one keyframed camera across them.
How does Screenify Studio work?
- Record the screen, window, area, or iOS Simulator (optionally with multiple mics).
- Edit on a multi-track timeline: add 3D camera templates, auto-zoom callouts, captions, backgrounds, and voice-over.
- Export locally as 1080p, 4K, GIF, MOV, or MP4, or share via a link. An alternative path uses the Screenify CLI plus an AI agent to record a web app from a plain-English prompt with no manual editing.
Pricing
Screenify Studio uses a freemium model with a free-forever tier and one-time purchases. The Free tier includes unlimited recording, the full editing suite, and 3D device mockups, but exports are limited to 1080p, up to 5 minutes, with a watermark, 3 shareable links that expire after 7 days, and no AI features. Pro is a one-time purchase at $149 (with an early-access price of $179 shown), includes 1 year of updates, then an optional $39/yr renewal, and adds 4K export, watermark removal, and AI features. Pro+ is a one-time $249 (early-access $299) and adds lifetime updates and 100 GB of cloud storage. Upgrading from Pro to Pro+ costs a fixed $100, and all purchases carry a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Alternatives
Screenify Studio's own comparison table benchmarks it against Screen Studio (macOS only, 2D zoom), Loom (cloud-based, uses a web wrapper), and Tella (Mac plus web, cloud-based captions). Screenify is macOS-only, while Windows and Linux are listed as roadmap items behind a waitlist.
FAQ
Is Screenify Studio free?
Yes, there is a free-forever tier with unlimited recording, the full editor, and 3D mockups. Free exports are capped at 1080p for up to 5 minutes with a small watermark, include 3 shareable links that expire in 7 days, and exclude AI features such as captions, translation, and background removal.
Does Screenify Studio work on Windows or Linux?
No. It currently runs only on macOS 13+ on Apple Silicon, a deliberate choice so the app can use the Metal GPU, Apple Neural Engine, and Core ML. Windows and Linux are on the roadmap and have waitlist sign-ups on the download page.
Where does my data go?
Captions, translation, background removal, and smart clipping all run locally on the Apple Neural Engine, and the app works fully offline. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share, and cloud storage is an opt-in Pro feature used only for sharing.
What happens when my Pro update period ends?
You keep using your current version indefinitely. Pro includes 1 year of updates and then an optional $39/yr renewal if you want new releases; Pro+ includes lifetime updates with no renewal at all.
