Screen Charm is a macOS screen recording application designed to help creators, developers, and founders produce polished, professional-looking videos without complex editing. It combines screen capture with automatic enhancements like smart zoom, cursor smoothing, and motion blur, along with a built-in editor for trimming, speed control, and adding music. The app targets users who need to create product demos, tutorials, and online courses quickly, offering a one-time purchase model with lifetime updates.
