Pro-level features. Zero effort.

A suite of intelligent tools that do the heavy lifting so you don't have to.

Auto Zoom

Zooms to exactly what matters

Recordio doesn't just follow the cursor, it understands the layout of all elements you are interacting with, so no input box or form is clipped out. A zoom that gets it right every single time.

Auto Spotlight

Elevate important elements

The background dims and the element you interact with pops forward with a subtle glow. It makes the page comes alive.

Backgrounds

Beautiful, dynamic canvas

Add depth and polish with vibrant backgrounds. Pick from a curated library, build your own using color gradients, or upload your own brand-matched image.

Captions

Locally AI-generated captions

AI generates perfectly-timed captions from your audio. Easily edit any mistakes, and style everything — font, color, position — to match your brand.

Clean Toolbar

No more messy browser tabs

Your toolbar is replaced with a clean, minimal bar that shows just the page title. No messy bookmark bars, 47 open tabs, or embarrassing URLs.

Overlays

Blur sensitive information

Use overlays to blur out sensitive information, add explanatory text, arrows or overlays to highlight important information.
