# Screen Charm
> Mac screen recorder with smart zoom, captions, pause and resume, webcam overlay, motion blur, background music, 4K export, and a built-in editor. One-time $99 purchase, no subscription, Apple Silicon only.
Screen Charm is a native macOS screen recorder designed for creators who want polished, professional-looking videos without learning a video editor. It automatically zooms into the UI elements you click, smooths the cursor, adds motion blur to fast movements, and lets you record webcam, microphone, and system audio simultaneously. Pause and resume anytime while recording. After capture, generate captions, blur sensitive areas, trim in the built-in editor, add background music, and export a 4K MP4, a vertical Shorts-ready video, or a shareable link.
## Key features
- **Smart zoom effect** — automatically zooms into buttons, menus, and input fields as you interact with them

- **Captions** — generate captions from narration and choose a style
- **Vertical videos** — split camera and screen export for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok, with the screen following your cursor
