Killer features
Everything you need to showcase your screen like a pro
Smooth zoom-in
Ocelo turns your clicks into smooth, deliberate camera moves while you record. The cursor stays clean, motion blur makes every move feel physical, and every zoom is already on the timeline when you stop.
Screen and presenter, one lane
Switch between Screen + camera, Presenter only, Split and more from the recording bar. Scenes land on one continuous timeline you can re-time or re-aim after the take.
Clean up the take
Trim mistakes, cut pauses, clean up microphone audio and generate captions on your Mac. Hide an API key or customer name with a privacy region that follows the content even when the page scrolls.
Finish and export
Add your logo, colours, background, intro and outro, then export up to 4K in landscape or vertical as MP4, HEVC or GIF. What you preview is exactly what Ocelo exports.

Faqs
Things to know before you download
What can I do without paying?
Everything, on your own work, for as long as you like — every feature is available and none of them are greyed out. The only limits are on what leaves the app: clean exports are capped at 720p and 60 seconds. Recording is not capped, so you can record at length and cut it down.
What is the catch at this price?
There is not one, in the sense of a hidden tier — every feature is in both plans and there is no upsell inside the app. It is cheap because it is one developer, one platform and no servers to run: nothing is uploaded, so nothing costs us per minute of your video.
Should I buy it outright or subscribe?
$79 outright if you know you want it — it never renews. $24 a year if you would rather not commit; you can switch to the one-off licence later.
Does buying it outright include updates?
Yes, every update to version 1, for as long as version 1 is maintained. If there is ever a version 2 that is a genuine rewrite it would be a paid upgrade — but nothing you have already bought stops working, ever.
Which Macs does it run on?
macOS 15 Sequoia or later, on Apple silicon. Automatic captions use the speech recognition built into macOS 26, so on earlier versions everything else works and captions are unavailable.
What permissions does it ask for?
Screen Recording, always — that is the app. Camera and Microphone only if you pick one in the recording window. It never asks for Accessibility, which means it cannot read your keystrokes, and does not want to.
Does anything get uploaded?
No. Recording, editing, captions and export all happen on your Mac. The app talks to the network for exactly two things: checking your licence and checking for updates.
Does it work offline?
Yes, including captions. A licence check that cannot reach the network is treated as a network problem, not as an expired licence — you keep working.
How many Macs can I use it on?
3. You can release a Mac from your account portal when you replace one, and use the freed slot straight away.
What happens if I cancel the yearly plan?
It keeps working until the end of the year you paid for. After that it goes back to the free limits rather than locking you out — your projects all still open, and exports return to clean 720p, 60-second videos until you subscribe again or buy the one-off licence.
Can I get a refund?
Yes — email hola@ocelo.app within 14 days and we will refund it, no questions. Refunds are processed by Polar.

@jamesdraws: Recorded a full demo and exported straight to 4K — didn't touch another editor.. @lena_ships: The auto zoom alone is worth it. My screen recordings finally look intentional.. @marcus_films: Paid once and that's it? No subscription creep. Refreshing.. @dev_priya: Captions generated locally in seconds, no upload wait.. @ryan_ships_fast: Switched from three separate apps to just this one.. @codewithmira: Didn't expect a screen recorder to also handle presenter mode this well.. @noahcodes: The privacy region saved me from re-recording an entire walkthrough.. @ashbuilds: 3.9MB and it just works.
