Show HN: Recap Studio – A Mac screen recorder for clean, polished demos
Hi HN, I made Recap Studio, a Mac app for recording demos and tutorials that look good without a video editor. You record your screen, camera and mic. Then you can zoom in on parts of the video, smooth the cursor, add a background, show the keys you press, and cut out mistakes. The newest feature keeps your face centered in the camera as you move.

Version & cost evidence
Source votes: 1 votes (Nov 8, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication) Recent records to compare: “Show HN: PicoDiet – compress images to a visual quality score, not a setting” (Show HN, Nov 8, 2026); “[分享创造] 女儿生病出不了门，给她做了 100+体感小游戏：打开网页，站到摄像头前就能玩” (V2EX, Nov 8, 2026). Shared themes are navigation hints; they have not been verified as the same need or independent corroboration.
Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
