Introducing ShipClip: Screen Recording That Ships

You just finished a feature for a client. You want to record a quick demo. Show the UI, explain your decisions, send it over. Simple, right?

Except QuickTime gives you a raw dump with no editing. Loom is an Electron app that phones home for everything. OBS needs a PhD in settings. And none of them give you separate audio tracks, so when a Slack notification dings during your explanation, it’s baked in forever.

I wanted something native, fast, and designed for one job: record a demo, polish it, ship it. So I built ShipClip.

What ShipClip Does

ShipClip is a native macOS app. It records everything as separate stems, like a music studio records each instrument on its own track:

Screen capture — your display at 60fps via ScreenCaptureKit
System audio — app sounds on their own track, so a notification doesn’t ruin your voiceover
Microphone — your narration, independently adjustable after recording
Camera — picture-in-picture with real-time background removal. No green screen.

After recording, you get a timeline. Each audio track has independent volume, mute, solo, and volume automation keyframes. Your raw stems stay intact. Every edit is non-destructive.

Zoom-to-Click

This is the feature that makes demos watchable. ShipClip records every mouse movement and click during capture. On playback and export, it smoothly zooms the viewport to wherever you clicked, making small UI details visible, even in a 1080p export from a 5K display.

You can tune the zoom scale, easing curves, and timing per click. There are optional click indicators and click sounds too. No more narrating “and if you look at the tiny button in the upper right corner…”

Screen Styling

Raw screen recordings look raw. ShipClip adds padding, rounded corners, and backgrounds (solid colors, gradients, or images) to your screen capture. The result looks like a polished product video. No design tool needed.

Camera PiP with Background Removal

The camera overlay supports real-time person segmentation. Your background gets removed or blurred automatically. Record from your kitchen, a coffee shop, wherever. Your viewer sees you, not your surroundings.

Choose different shapes (circle, rounded rect, portrait), drag the PiP anywhere on the frame, and style it with its own background.

Annotations

Draw on your recording after the fact. Arrows, rectangles, and text boxes, each with customizable colors, fill (including blur), and timing on the timeline. They zoom and pan with the screen content, so they stay anchored to what you’re pointing at.

Need to blur a password you accidentally showed? Drop a blur rectangle on that part of the timeline. Done.

Built for Freelancers

ShipClip isn’t trying to be a video editor. It’s built for one workflow: record a screen demo, polish it, ship it to your client. Record, review, export. All in one window. The whole app is under 10 MB.
