One bad sound ruins the whole take
Focusee mixes your mic, system audio, and any app sound into one track. A Slack ping lands in the middle of your pitch? It's baked in with your voice. You can't mute just the notification. You re-record.
ShipClip records every source to its own track: screen, camera, mic, and system audio. Mute that one notification on the system track. Dip the mic by 3 dB during the noisy stretch. Keep the take.

Frequently asked
Both offer zoom effects and screen styling. Focusee runs cross-platform via a web-based framework. ShipClip is native macOS (Swift + ScreenCaptureKit) with lower CPU usage, native system audio, and multi-track audio editing Focusee doesn't have.

No. Focusee is cross-platform, which means higher CPU usage and looser macOS integration. ShipClip is Swift + ScreenCaptureKit + AVFoundation + Vision, built specifically for macOS.
