## What it is
Recordly is a free, open-source desktop app for recording and editing polished screen-capture videos with built-in auto-zooms, smooth cursor effects, webcam bubbles, and styled backgrounds. It includes a drag-and-drop timeline editor and exports to MP4 or GIF without requiring video editing skills.

## Use cases
- record polished product demo videos without editing skills
- create walkthrough and tutorial videos with auto-zoom and cursor effects
- record screen with microphone and system audio on mac, windows, or linux
- export screen recordings as MP4 or looping GIFs
- add webcam bubble overlays to screen recordings
- edit screen recordings on a timeline with zooms, trims, and annotations

## When to choose
- you want a free open-source Screen Studio alternative for demo videos
- you need cross-platform screen recording with automatic zoom and cursor polish
- you want to produce product walkthroughs without a motion designer or paid editor

## When to avoid
- you need advanced professional video editing beyond screen recordings
- you require cursor hiding on Linux, which is not supported
- you need a license-friendly tool for closed-source redistribution, since it is AGPL 3.0
