ShotGlass

ShotGlass is a macOS screen recorder and screenshot editor designed for creating product demos, walkthroughs, and other polished screen captures. It combines recording, annotations, automatic zooms, video editing, and animated 3D MacBook mockups in one app, rather than requiring separate capture and motion-graphics tools.

Capture and refine your screen

• Record a window, selected area, full display, or several windows at once. Multi-window captures remain separate layers that can be moved, cropped, and resized afterward.
• Take screenshots and add arrows, text, shapes, backgrounds, padding, and shadows.
• Apply automatic zooms based on on-screen actions, or set zooms manually. Smooth cursor movement, click effects, transitions, trimming, and speed controls help guide attention.
• Record webcam video, microphone, and system audio; add music or other media and use local voice cleanup for noisy recordings.

Create 3D demos or let an AI agent record

A recording can be placed on a virtual 3D MacBook, with adjustable camera angles, simulated lens effects, backgrounds, and transitions between 2D and 3D scenes. ShotGlass also supports compatible AI agents through MCP (Model Context Protocol). With a configured agent such as Claude Code or Codex, users can request screen recordings, edits, and exports using natural-language instructions.

Trial, licensing, and requirements

ShotGlass is free to download and explore, but video export requires a paid license. The $29 one-time personal license covers one Mac and includes one year of updates; an optional $39/year plan covers three Macs and offers team licensing. The developer recommends macOS 14 or newer and supplies separate Apple Silicon and Intel downloads.

Screen capture needs macOS permissions. Camera, microphone, Accessibility, and Input Monitoring permissions are needed for relevant capture or AI-controlled workflows. According to the developer, recordings and editing remain local, although licensing and update checks contact its servers.
