A macOS screen recorder that hands back a finished video. Zooms that follow the work, a framed camera and a background, exported at up to 4K on your Mac's own media engine.

the cursor-tracking camera and auto zoom are the actual killer feature here - most screen recorders just hand you a flat capture and leave the editing to you, this one gives back something that already looks intentional. no keyframes, no After Effects, exported straight off Apple Silicon.

saw another commenter ask about a one-time lifetime payment option instead of monthly subscription - agree with that, for anyone who only needs to make demo videos a few times a year a subscription is a hard sell even if the tool itself is great.

compared it to Screen Studio mentally since that's the name everyone brings up for this category, but Prequel's pitch of following your actual clicks and cursor rather than a template zoom pattern felt like a more honest fit for a real screen recording.

The whole ease of use and automatic zoom in on click and text typing makes it Loom on steroids. I'm thrilled.

Used Loom before, but in stands nowhere near for demos and walkthroughs
