Recording keystrokes

Toggle keystroke recording on in the recording settings. ShipClip captures every key press with its timing and how hard you pressed it.

Keystroke recording requires the Accessibility permission to track keys across all apps. Without it, keystrokes are only captured when ShipClip's own window is focused.

The overlay

In the editor, toggle the keystroke overlay on to show key presses as visual pills in your video. Modifier combinations like Cmd+Zrender as a single pill so you don't flood the screen.

Customization

• Position. Anywhere on screen. Align left, center, or right; top, middle, or bottom.
• Layout. Horizontal (keys side by side) or vertical (stacked).
• Scale. 5× to 20× magnification.
• Colors. Background, text, and border.
• Animation. Fade-in and fade-out durations.

Keystroke sounds

Optionally add a click or tap sound effect for each key press. Volume is adjustable, and the sound's intensity responds to how hard you pressed the key (velocity sensitivity).

Multiple sound packs ship in the app. The default is a subtle mechanical click.
