In plain words

Smooth Recorder is a native Mac screen recording app for creating demos and tutorials.

The app also handles screenshots, GIFs, and scrolling capture, with editable captions and customizable backgrounds. Users can export recordings as MP4, MOV, or GIF without needing additional editing software. It costs $9 during early access, with no subscription required.
