For macOS · Early access
A screen recorder with zoom that follows your cursor, a real editor for what you recorded, and Lightbox for the screenshots in between. One window from first take to final export — processed on your Mac.
One app
A good demo usually takes three apps: a recorder, an editor to fix the take, and a mockup tool to dress the screenshots. Every hand-off is an export, an import and a little lost quality. Lapiz is all three, working on the same project.
Three apps. Two exports in between.One window. One project. One export.
Fluid Zoom
While you record, Lapiz watches the cursor and directs the shot: it zooms in where you click, keeps the action in frame, and refuses to chase every twitch. You get a video that looks edited without editing it.
Click and the camera pushes in on that spot. Keep working and it pans with you, so viewers never hunt for the action.
A dead zone in the middle of the frame absorbs small movements. The camera only moves once you leave it.
Every move runs on a spring, not a timed tween — it eases off and lands, instead of stopping like a robot.
Canvas
Backgrounds in Lapiz are shaders, not wallpapers — they move, fit any aspect ratio and never tile. These are the app's real nine, ported to run in your browser. Pick one, then push it around.
In the app, Match Video reads the colours of your own recording. Here, three sample clips stand in.
Editor
Cut, trim and reorder. Zooms are clips you can drag. Captions are transcribed on your Mac and stay linked to the words they belong to. Add a voiceover, a transition, a second track — then drag the playhead.
Keyframes
Press the ◆ beside any property, move the playhead, change the value — Lapiz adds the keyframe. Every key in the project is listed in one place, and each has its own easing curve you can drag. Try it on the clip below.
Lightbox
Lightbox is the still side of Lapiz: the same canvas, looks and framing, for screenshots and product shots. This one works for real — drop in an image, pick a look, download the PNG. The file never leaves this tab.

The look animates — save it as a seamless 5-second loop.
Export
Widescreen for the website, vertical for Shorts and Reels, square and 4:5 for the feed. Lapiz fits the same project to each shape — the whole picture, never a cropped middle — and exports them together.

Simulated here. In the app, every aspect renders in one pass on your Mac.
Local-first
The shaders, the zoom, the Lightbox render — all computed in this tab, by your own hardware. The app works the same way, only more so:

No. Recording, screenshots and Lightbox are free with no account. Pro uses a license key you receive by email.
After a 3-day full trial, the editor stays free: edit, cut, zoom, add text and captions, export at 720p with a small Lapiz mark. A license removes the mark and unlocks full-quality export and the Pro tools.
Up to 3 per license; you can free up a slot in Settings → License.
