UmClip for macOS · 0.9.0 beta
Record your screen.
Actually explain it.
UmClip combines screen recording, live presentation tools and non-destructive editing, so you can explain something clearly without constantly stopping and restarting.
…and when it crosses here, that’s the moment to pause.
Why UmClip
More than a screen recorder.
Most tools capture what happened on your screen. UmClip is built around the moments where you need to point, draw, switch and fix while you talk.

Present while you record
Draw on the screen, open a whiteboard, keep your camera on, read from a teleprompter, and use your hand as a pointer. All while the recording runs.
Switch without stopping
Move between windows or displays mid-recording. Your webcam and mic keep going, audio stays in sync, and annotations stay attached to the source they were drawn on.
Fix mistakes without starting over
Flubbed a sentence? Retake just that section. UmClip keeps the original and the retake so you can decide later. Editing is non-destructive.
Clean it up afterward
Pause and cleanup suggestions, chapters and captions, zoom and cursor effects, audio automation and system-audio ducking help the final cut land.
Hand controls
Use your hand as a pointer.
Turn on hand controls and your webcam becomes an input. Point to move a pointer across the screen. Pinch to draw. Make a fist to undo the last stroke.
Hand tracking runs locally on your Mac. It works best with steady lighting and a clear view of your hand.

Retakes
Mess up?
Retake the section.
Mark the spot, say it again, keep going. UmClip keeps the original and every retake side by side so you can pick the best one when you review. Nothing is thrown away until you export.
- No need to restart the whole recording
- Original and retakes stay available
- Decide now or review later
- Non-destructive from start to finish
Local-first
Your recording stays on your Mac.
UmClip records and processes on your Mac. Screen capture, webcam recording and hand tracking all run locally, and UmClip does not currently upload your recordings to a cloud service.

Audio
Your audio isn't an afterthought.
See your mic and system audio as waveforms on the timeline. Automate volume where it matters, and let system audio duck under your voice automatically.
