What is OurScreen?

OurScreen is a local-first Mac screen recorder and teaching video studio for people who explain lessons, products, software, prompts, and ideas. It records your screen, camera, microphone, system audio, clicks, captions, and Screen Draw moments in one focused workflow, then helps you polish and export without jumping between apps.

Teachers

Record clearer lessons

Capture screen, camera, voice, system audio, Explain drawings, and captions while keeping raw class recordings on your Mac.

Creators

Ship demos faster

Use Auto Zoom, Camera styles, title cards, caption styles, and custom backgrounds to turn a normal screen recording into a finished video.

Local-first

Review before upload

Your recording stays local by default, so you decide what gets exported, shared, uploaded, or deleted.

Built around how you actually work

Three ways people use OurScreen to get out the door faster

The 6pm lesson recording

You're recording a walkthrough after a full day of teaching. You don't have energy left to also learn a timeline. Hit record, talk through it once, export.

The tenth module this month

You've got forty more lessons to record. OurScreen's per-click zoom and auto-captions mean lesson six looks as polished as lesson one, without you doing it by hand.

Support & onboarding

The "just send them a Loom" ask

Someone needs a walkthrough in the next ten minutes. Explain mode turns your screen into a whiteboard mid-recording, so you can point and draw as you talk.

Inside the actual Mac app

Smart Director shows the work that remains. You decide what happens next.

The editor keeps the recording, preview, tools, and finish guide visible together. Suggested changes do not become permanent until you approve them.

The four things that usually eat your editing time

The usual wayThe OurScreen way
Zooming in
ManualScrub the timeline, keyframe a crop, guess the timing, repeat for every click you made.
Auto ZoomZooms to wherever you clicked, at the moment you clicked it. Nothing to keyframe.
"Um"s and dead air
ManualListen back at half speed, cut each one by hand, hope you didn't miss any.
Clean SpeechFiller words and long pauses are identified, with suggested cuts you can review before export.
Camera framing
ManualPosition a webcam layer, pick a shape, resize it every time your screen changes.
Camera stylesCircle, rounded or custom framing, sized and placed once, held steady the whole take.
Pointing things out
ManualRe-record with a separate annotation tool, or add arrows after the fact and hope they line up.
Screen DrawCircle, underline or write on the screen mid-recording, right when you're talking about it.
When a full editor is more than you need

OurScreen begins with the work educators and creators repeat most: record, explain, review, and export. Smart Director proposes a useful first pass, while the timeline stays available whenever you want detailed control.
